ABOUT GEN YODHA

The first few years of your career shouldn't feel like you're figuring it out alone.

Nobody tells you how lonely it is.

You graduate. You apply to jobs. You get rejected, over and over. You reach out to senior people for advice. Most of them don't respond. And you get it. They're busy. They don't know you.

But you know who actually helps? Your peers.

The classmate who texts you "hey, there's an opening at my friend's company." The person two years ahead who tells you exactly how they got their referral. The stranger on the internet going through the same thing who actually replies.

They give you real information. Not generic advice.

"Your peers today are your future co-workers. Your future co-founders. The people who will actually look out for you when things go wrong."

But here's the problem: most of your peers are people you went to school with. Outside that circle? You can't really find them. On existing platforms, everyone's just performing. And if you're early in your career, you feel invisible.

A space where your thoughts and views matter more than where you went to school or what company you worked for.

Gen Yodha (Yodha means "warrior" in Sanskrit) is for early-career professionals. People 0-7 years into their journey who are still figuring it out.

It's for the person building a personal brand without a big company name backing them. The person building something alone with no one to talk to. The person who just wants a job without having to perform for it.

We're not trying to replace anything. We're building the thing that should have existed all along. A place where helping each other is the default.

Where you can post "here's how I got this interview" and people actually engage. Where you can find someone to talk about what you're building without feeling like you're bothering them. Where asking questions doesn't make you feel stupid.

Because our generation has this warrior energy. We're out here fighting for opportunities that used to just exist. And we shouldn't have to fight alone.

The principles behind Gen Yodha

🏹

Peers Over Hierarchy

Your future co-workers and co-founders are your peers today. We prioritize peer-to-peer connections over senior-to-junior gatekeeping.

🚫

No Performance

No public likes. No follower counts. No "excited to announce." Just real conversations between people figuring it out together.

🧠

Original Thinking

We're not anti-AI, we're anti-lazy. Use AI to think better, not to skip thinking. Gen Yodha is where real thoughts live.

Built by someone who's been there.

Founder & Builder

In 2022, I moved to the US alone for my master's. After graduating, I landed an ~$80k+ job as a business analyst. Felt like I made it.

Exactly 1 year and 1 month later, I was let go. What followed was 200+ job applications, final round interviews that went nowhere, and offers rescinded.

Here's what I learned at that time:

a
Most of my "network" was people in positions to hire. They'd seen my work. They knew what I could do. And still, getting noticed felt impossible.
b
I'd post something, then see the exact same thought from someone with a fancy title at a fancy company blow up. 450 likes, 200 comments. And yeah, it stung. Not because vanity metrics matter. It's fine to not have a following. It's not fine to not have a voice.
c
I needed feedback. Real feedback. And I had no one around me who could give me that.
d
But my peers? They were the ones checking in. Sending job postings. Actually showing up.
e
Reddit gets close. It has that community feel. But you never really know the person behind the advice. Are they biased? Do they even know what they're talking about? You just... don't know them.

I moved back to India, and now I'm building the platform I wish existed 3 years ago.

We're building this together.

Gen Yodha isn't being built in a vacuum. We're looking for early people, the "Unofficial Board of Directors," who get a say in how this shapes up. You tell us what you need, what's broken, what would actually help.
