Indore (Madhya Pradesh): 'The greatest sin is to think yourself weak,’ were the words of wisdom by Swami Vivekanand-- the greatest inspiration of all ages!
These words resonate the best with today’s youth,
who are constantly seeking motivation, direction and a 'platform' to showcase their skills and finesse.
In that search, many discover their passion and then, find ways to turn their dreams into reality.
Ahilyanagri, the city of Indore, encapsulates several such stories, showing how its youth love to hustle and remain ‘unstoppable’ through thick and thin.
On the occasion of National Youth Day 2026, Free Press conversed with individuals who are adamant about balancing their profession and passion beyond boundaries.
Choosing An Unconventional Path And Falling For It!
Rabho - Rahul Bhosle
Rahul Bhosle, a dentist by qualification, decided to switch to full-time content creation after falling in love with the creative process. “It’s amazing how beautifully we materialise what was once just an idea,” he says.
RaBho’s journey inspires young people to choose unconventional paths with confidence and work hard to succeed. He began creating content in 2015 and became the second creator from Indore.
Over the past 10 years, he has delivered several viral videos, including Hum To Hain Indori, Indori Mario and Karsewak.
Today, Rahul says he is able to earn a satisfactory living by creating meaningful content. Speaking about the challenges of content creation, he said, “Cringe content gets more views. Creating good content requires more effort, resources and time. It does get reach, but slowly.”
Encouraging aspiring creators, he added, “Youth should explore content creation. It is a multi-billion-dollar market. Competition exists everywhere, but the more creative you are, the better your content becomes. This can also help take the country in a positive direction.”
