Cultural Background

In cities like Mumbai and Delhi, 'vibe' is more than a word; it's a lifestyle. A 'vibe check' is a way to filter social circles. Modern Bollywood songs often use 'vibe' in their lyrics, making the term mainstream across India. In modern tech startups, 'vibe check' is sometimes used even in semi-formal settings to ensure team culture fit. Instagram reels and TikTok (before it was banned) were the primary drivers for this phrase in India.
