About The Project

Celebrating its 75th year of significant influence in India, KfW is preparing to spotlight its longstanding commitment and impactful presence, centered around its Indian office. This initiative involves producing a brief film aimed at both internal and external stakeholders, highlighting KfW's crucial involvement and accomplishments in the Indo-German Development Cooperation. The film is intended for an audience of high-ranking officials and dignitaries from India and Germany, illustrating KfW's cooperative endeavors with the Indian government and various regional authorities. It emphasizes KfW's role in advancing India's sustainable development. The film is envisioned as a tribute, visually narrating over six decades of transformational contributions in sectors like energy, urban development, mobility, and natural resources in India. UIL has been selected to create a 5-6 minute film that encapsulates KfW’s journey through these sectors, showcasing key projects, milestones, and its dedication to the development finance sector in India.

UIL, under KfW's directive, is leading the film's production, covering pre-production, actual filming, and post-production phases. The film will feature specific project footage and photographs. UIL's collaboration with KfW is essential for project selection and logistical coordination. The production will include an essential interview with a KfW Group Board member. The final product will conform to the standards set by KfW's Communications Department, particularly in terms of branding guidelines. Throughout the production process, UIL will engage in a consultative approach with KfW, incorporating their feedback at each stage. A
