Tata Power Community Development Trust Hosts Special Inclusive Screening of “Tanvi The Great” to Champion Neurodiversity
Chennai: Tata Power Community Development Trust (TPCDT), in collaboration with Anupam Kher Studio, hosted special screenings of the film “Tanvi The Great” to build greater awareness, understanding, and acceptance of Autism Spectrum Disorder and the broader neurodiversity spectrum. The event marks a significant step under Tata Power’s flagship Pay Autention initiative.
The screening was attended by over 470 participants, including neurodiverse individuals, PWDs, caregivers, parents, special educators, NGOs, partners, and Tata Group companies. A Pay Autention Sensory Experience Zone, curated by Sensory All, a startup dedicated to creating inclusive sensory environments, was set up at the venue, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to engage with the world from a neurodiverse perspective.
Pay Autention Initiative: Tata Power’s flagship initiative focuses on awareness, early diagnosis, caregiver support, inclusive education, skill development, and workplace integration, impacting thousands of lives.
Strategic Partnership: Tata Power and Anupam Kher Studio will extend curated screenings of “Tanvi The Great” and the Pay Autention Experience Zone to multiple cities, creating inclusive spaces for neurodiverse and neurotypical individuals.
Himal Tewari, CHRO & Chief Sustainability & CSR, said, “Inclusion isn’t about treating people with autism differently, it’s about celebrating the uniqueness in each of us. With Tanvi The Great, we aim to spark conversations that build empathy and embrace differences.” Anupam Kher, Veteran Actor and Director, added, “We are all made of stories, they shape us, inspire us, and connect us. ‘Tanvi The Great’ is deeply personal, inspired by my niece Tanvi, who, like so many neurodiverse individuals, is brimming with talent and potential”.
The screening aligns with Tata Power’s ongoing commitment to social equity through its Pay Autention program. With over 500 partner organizations and 18,000 individuals and families impacted, the initiative has already made a significant difference in the lives of many. The partnership between Tata Power and Anupam Kher Studio aims to create a lasting, meaningful impact for neurodiverse communities.
