The weight of the IITK tag
From the moment you receive your admit letter, you are defined by labels. Your branch, your batch, your CPI, the clubs you get into. These tags become the lens through which everyone — and eventually you — see yourself.
The social cost of vulnerability at a place like IIT Kanpur is enormous. Admitting you are struggling feels like weakness. And so thousands of brilliant people navigate the hardest years of their lives in silence.
Veil strips away the tags. It gives you a completely detached identity and lets you just be a person who wants to talk.
