Indian Millennials Wish Suresh Rangarajan & Team Colive A Very Happy Independence Day, 2021.
Thank you for building the future of living in India at Colive.com. We are watching this as you wake up to Independence Day, 2021.
Dear Suresh,
Whew. This one was a big surprise to keep bottled up, but it was worth every moment we spent behind it. We hope you like the video. This one goes to you & Colive. Happy Independence Day.
We have many names. We are India’s youth. Sometimes, we identify with the Dali masks & black hoodies that stand for a group that calls itself ‘Anonymous’. Sometimes, we celebrate the color red, bonding over shows like Money Heist. Sometimes we sing, sometimes we dance. Sometimes we fall short on rent & wish we could just bid for our own beds, and decide the price of living in the cities we love but no one seems to be listening to that request so far. We hope you will. We know you can. After all, you are home to us.
Today, we take pleasure in calling ourselves the pulse of a nation leaping ahead into the future. And this is just our way of saying thank you to your young spirit, which is helping us live with liberty, dignity, and most importantly, a strong sense of community. We wish there were more entrepreneurs like you, who really walked the line long enough to put their faith in the dreamers of this young country living together & changing the world one day at a time.
When you started Colive.com, you brought a wonderful tide of change in the lives of everyone that this inclusive brand has touched. We know that the journey has been tough, and we appreciate the grit you have shown as a fearless leader. We were watching when you silently teamed up with BigBasket India, TeamLease Services, Airtel, Swiggy & Zomato to salute India’s real heroes and fed more than twenty five thousand delivery boys during the second wave of the COVID pandemic. We were watching when you helped Bengaluru’s struggling musicians make money doing shows from home. We were smiling when you brought in a young man despite his shortcomings and helped him build a family that we now call Mikival. Consider this our gift to you, from India, aged 19 to 29. We were able to do this because Colive allows young men & women to co-exist in peace & harmony without falling into the dreary desert sands of dead habit. We live & breathe in your corridors where words come out from the depth of truth, and your tireless arms help us stretch our dreams as far ahead into a daring leap of faith, to let us know we can be perfect versions of ourselves.
You are more than a diamond in the rough to the young citizens of India.
You are what we call an NFT. A non-fungible token of appreciation.
We wish you all the best, in this new journey ahead of the Colive brand. According to the heads of the Mikival.com family, all the efforts, resources & man hours that went into shooting this video in Bengaluru have already come from the generous friendship that Colive has with our team. So, thank you.
Today is a new dawn for us. The sons & daughters of India wish you well. Happy Independence Day, good father. Let our country awake.
With love, respect & honor, and the hope of doing wonderful things together.
Team Mikival (From all over the country).
We also thank Team Pumpkin India for taking charge in leading Colive’s voice to India on this new wave of digital evolution. We thank the Audio Nerds in Bhubaneshwar for showing Orissa the path of light, and we thank Megha Organics India for letting us sing amongst nature in all its glory. We thank the Salarpuria Sattva group for believing in the future of living with us. We thank absolutely every young Indian who believes in the future of this great nation.
