Every April 28, the world pauses to celebrate National Superhero Day. While the day technically has its roots in US comic book culture, it has evolved into a global moment for debating Marvel versus DC or wondering if Batman’s true superpower is just an infinite credit card. But here in India, we don't necessarily need capes to fight off alien invasions. We need them to fight the ‘chalta hai’ attitude.

Beyond the cinematic spectacle of flying and X-ray vision, there is a different kind of heroism our cities crave: the power to fix the daily grind. Four young professionals from India’s busiest hubs—Chandigarh, Delhi, and Mumbai— answer a simple question: If you had one superpower to fix a national headache, what would it be? They aren't asking for the ability to scale skyscrapers. They want something much more powerful: a way to make India work.
