Dignity in the Digital Age: Who Gets Included?

Under The Same Sun  COP Premiere

Under The Same Sun: Gujarat is a community-led video storytelling campaign co-created by PLUC and Self Employed Women&rsquo;s Association under the Social Saheli initiative, launched at COP30.
While SEWA has trained thousands of rural women as solar technicians, a critical gap remained&mdash;recognition and visibility. Women were often confined to peripheral roles, with their technical skills overlooked.
The campaign addresses this by enabling women to document their own work through mobile-first storytelling. Across Gujarat, 1,000+ women captured real-time solar labour&mdash;installation, maintenance, repair, and operations&mdash;creating stories in local languages, later subtitled for wider reach.
With 3000+ videos and a reach of 3 million, the campaign has become one of India&rsquo;s largest visual archives of women-led solar work. Distributed across digital platforms and supported by offline screenings, it engaged both grassroots communities and clean-energy stakeholders.
Beyond visibility, the project strengthened women&rsquo;s professional identity, increased community recognition, and demonstrated a ready, skilled workforce for India&rsquo;s energy transition&mdash;including participation from groups such as salt workers and Rabari communities.
Under The Same Sun makes a clear case: India&rsquo;s clean-energy future depends not just on jobs, but on recognising the women already powering it.

"POP quiz! 🎈 Did you know bubble wrap wasn’t meant to be popped?"

Graham Bell picked up the phone — but he didn’t say hello! ☎️😮

Wait, What? is where curiosity crashes into everyday life and nothing looks the same again.
Each episode begins with a question so random, it could only come from a 3AM brain spiral &mdash; like why do we say hello on the phone? or who decided bubblegum should be pink?
But what starts as a passing thought turns into a rabbit hole of surprising truths, forgotten histories, and oddly satisfying &ldquo;ohhh&rdquo; moments.
Hosted by Vani &mdash; your charmingly curious, delightfully dorky guide, this show is made for the ones who overthink under umbrellas, who pause mid-conversation to Google weird stuff, and who find wonder in the wildly specific.
Told through witty storytelling, quirky visuals, and a voice that feels like a friend, Wait, What? isn&rsquo;t just about facts &mdash; it&rsquo;s about the fun of not knowing and the thrill of finding out.

One Word Away

Poetry Show is where timeless words meet today&rsquo;s feelings. Each episode unpacks a powerful line from history&rsquo;s greatest poets and thinkers &mdash; exploring themes like love, heartbreak, self-doubt, healing, expectations, and everything in between. Told through cinematic storytelling, poetic narration, and visual depth, this series is made for a generation that feels deeply but often silently. Whether it's Shakespeare, Ghalib, Rumi, or voices still unheard &mdash; we retell their verses as emotional stories that connect across time. This isn&rsquo;t about textbooks or trends. It&rsquo;s about one line that stays with you. One story that feels like your own. One episode that helps you breathe lighter. Poetry Show is not just a series &mdash; it&rsquo;s a feeling. And if you&rsquo;ve ever felt too much, this one&rsquo;s for you.
