Shivangi Tripathi Millennials, who are the largest generation by population in the world have converted today’s economy into experience economy. For millennials, happiness isn’t as focused on possessions or career status. Living a meaningful, happy life is about creating, sharing and capturing memories earned through experiences that span the spectrum of life’s opportunities.  This generation not only highly values experiences, but they are increasingly spending time and money on them: from restaurants, concerts and social events to athletic pursuits, to cultural experiences and events of all kinds.
