Under 25 Transforms Student Experience with Reimagined 'Spaces'

The launch is a direct response to its community feedback

The new version will be more vibrant and interactive, where each Space will provide specific experiences and missions for that given niche

To celebrate the launch of the new 'Spaces' experience, Under 25 is hosting SpaceFest, a 10-day in-app festival that will spotlight different Spaces each day

Mumbai : Under 25 - India’s largest youth media network has announced a major launch of its ‘Spaces’ feature on the Under25 App. Responding to what its users asked for, the new update transforms Spaces from static content feeds into dynamic, mission-based communities built around specific interests.

This launch makes it easier for youth to connect with like-minded people, discover relevant experiences, and participate in missions that align with their interests. Users now get:

• Interactive missions

• Real-time leaderboards and rewards

• Exclusive access to experiences for those who participate in missions and vice versa 

• The ability to apply as a moderator within each Space

Spaces like Bite-Sized, Hot Takes, Meme Theory, and Deep Dives now go beyond just scrollable content, they’re interactive hubs with their own identity and energy.

"Our users were clear about what they wanted. And that was more ways to connect with people who share their interests and discover opportunities and experiences that actually align with them. They told us they wanted a platform that felt more like 'them', not just places to scroll, but places to participate, create, and be recognised for their contributions. We listened and delivered a solution that not only meets these needs but also enhances the overall user experience. Spaces like The Design Space, Tech Lab, etc. are no longer just folders of content, they’re now useful resources for the youth,” said Jeel Gandhi, CEO, Under 25.

This shift reflects Under 25’s broader mission: to build culture with youth, not just for them. Whether through digital experiences, on-ground experiences, or brand partnerships, Under 25 creates spaces where young people feel seen and empowered to express themselves.

To launch the new Spaces, Under 25 is hosting SpaceFest: a 10-day in-app festival. Each day will spotlight a different Space, drop unique missions, and invite users to post, create, and compete. Top participants will earn money, get on the leaderboard, and have a chance to be featured on the app.

The new Spaces update is live on the Under25 App, with SpaceFest running through June 26th, 2025. Youth across India are invited to join in, pick their Space, and make it their own. Follow the journey on Under 25 social media pages and stay updated on upcoming experiences and features.
