Fight Club India exists to socialise the conversation around men's mental health in ways that haven't been done before. When men take active ownership of their mental health, the impact extends far beyond the individual. It ripples outward into relationships, families, workplaces, and communities.
National data shows 72.9% of all suicide deaths in India are men (NCRB, 2023). This gap is cultural, behavioural, and deeply social.
generations. is one expression of this mission. A live debate format that brings different generations into the same room to respond to the same questions about masculinity, mental health, and what it takes to change how men relate to themselves and each other. It adds a structured research layer that feeds directly into fight club's ongoing insights collection.
"awareness without community is often just loneliness with better vocabulary."
Two generational cohorts. The same propositions. Unscripted responses grounded in lived experience. Gen Z debaters drawn from the university's own student body. The Millennial and other-generation side made up of faculty, parents, and community members. Any voice, any background, any gender.
The audience votes before and after each round. Positions shift. That shift is the data.
University is where young men are actively forming their understanding of what it means to be one. They are learning from the environment around them. That environment is rarely intentional about what it teaches them.
In 2022, the NCRB recorded the highest number of student suicide deaths in 11 years. Young men make up a significant portion of that number.
generations. surfaces this conversation where it needs to happen, in a format that does not look or feel like a wellness programme. Because the debaters come from within your own institution, it is your community having the conversation itself.
The full debate is being released on fight club's YouTube channel.
The Bangalore pilot was the first event in a multi-city study fight club is conducting on how generational attitudes toward masculinity and mental health shift through structured peer conversation. Universities that host become named partners in that study, contributing to a working paper and peer-reviewed publication.
