For over two decades, Kiran Rao has been a powerful voice in Indian cinema. As a director, writer, and producer, she has challenged norms, elevated women’s voices, and helped bring uniquely Indian stories to a global audience. Her acclaimed new film 𝐿𝑎𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑎 𝐿𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑠 blends humor and satire to explore deep social issues with nuance and empathy—continuing her legacy of bold, purposeful storytelling. Her upcoming project, 𝐻𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑜𝑜𝑝, takes on the intersection of AI, society, and the future of inclusion. Kiran joined me on IFC’s 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 podcast to talk about her creative journey, the business case for inclusive storytelling, and why patient capital is essential for risk-taking cinema. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eWdB7NXS IFC - International Finance Corporation IFC Asia Pacific #Bollywood #IndianCinema #CreativeEconomy #Storytelling #InclusiveInnovation

Today at the Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Forum, we reached another key milestone in our journey to deliver energy access across Africa. Seventeen new African countries joined our collective push toward #Mission300 — the ambitious goal to connect 300 million people to electricity by 2030. In partnership with The World Bank, African Development Bank Group, and the private sector, these countries have committed to new National Energy Compacts — roadmaps that will unlock investment, drive reforms, and expand infrastructure. This is about more than power. It’s about lighting up homes, enabling businesses, and creating jobs for the future of Africa. Together, we are turning ambition into action. 👉 Read more: http://wrld.bg/2VfI50X1K4Z #Mission300 #PoweringAfrica #UNGA #EnergyAccess #Africa IFC - International Finance Corporation

For decades, Indian cities have relied on diesel buses that strain budgets, worsen air quality, and limit service quality. IFC is working with JBM Ecolife and GreenCell Mobility to change this by supporting the deployment of electric buses, shared charging infrastructure, and stronger payment security mechanisms for state transport operators. Find out how this will make public transport cleaner, more dependable, and more financially viable, benefiting commuters, city planners, and local communities: http://wrld.bg/iQur50X0eo0
