Why Gen Z calls chaos the new comfort zone!!
They say startups are chaotic and risky. But for an entire generation, that chaos feels more real than corporate calm.
When Vatsal Rastogi says, “Startups are a place to fail fast, learn fast, and scale fast,” he’s not glorifying burnout — he’s decoding a rebellion.For years, big organisations sold a dream of stability, systems, and growth. But Gen Z isn’t buying it anymore. They’ve watched their parents drag themselves through 9-to-5 routines, “waiting” for promotions that never gave meaning. They don’t want to “fit in” — they want to feel alive.The new workplace rebellion isn’t about flexibility — it’s about freedom from predictability.Startups, for them, are emotional rollercoasters that beat the monotony of structured success. The “fail fast” mantra? It’s not recklessness. It’s adrenaline. A form of controlled chaos that gives purpose to those who crave intensity over comfort.According to Deloitte, 3 in 4 Gen Z professionals say continuous skill development keeps them loyal to a company. But what they really mean is this: they’re loyal to learning that excites them. The minute growth becomes routine, they walk.The corporate world teaches “discipline,” but startups teach resilience through uncertainty — an education no MBA can match.Kunal Gupta of EMotorad says startups build adaptability, but the untold truth is: they also build identity. You don’t just clock in; you shape something that reflects your chaos, creativity, and courage.So when Gen Z walks into startups, they’re not chasing flexible hours — they’re rejecting corporate anesthesia. They want workplaces that feel like war zones for ideas, not temples of tradition.The irony? Large corporations now preach “startup culture” inside their walls — free snacks, bean bags, hackathons — without realizing they’re mimicking what startups have: emotional ownership.The real question isn’t “What draws you to startups?” It’s “What makes you stay where you feel invisible?”Because maybe, just maybe, Gen Z doesn’t fear failure. They fear numbness.
