Take Diwali (the festival of lights). Mainstream content shows the night of fireworks. Deep-dive content shows the 15 days prior: the scrubbing of floors with gaumutra (cow dung) for purification, the chaos of the local bazaar for dry fruits, the frustration of untangling fairy lights, and the arguments over which mithai (sweet) to buy. The real Indian lifestyle is the chaos before the calm.
With one of the world's largest smartphone-user bases, daily life in India—from ordering groceries to finding a life partner—happens on apps.
