Abstract: The paper aimed at understanding the psycho-social impact of Covid-19 on working Indian millennials and Gen Z. The study was designed as a systematic reviews based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The researchers mutually decided upon an exclusion and inclusion criteria based on which the papers, addressing the objective were to be searched. It was also decided that along with research papers, grey literature (newspaper articles and e-blogs) too would be utilised. The search process that commenced in September 2021 and continued till January 2022 identified 53 articles combining both research papers and grey literature. Out of these, only 5 could be retained as per the inclusion criteria. It is also interesting to note that all these 5 articles are a part of grey literature. Limitations, uncertainty and insecurity, emotional and psychological fatigue and resilience were identified as the four major themes emerging from the accepted articles. The limitations and future scopes of the study have been discussed.
