[Video footage and photos]

Close-up shot of Shashin, positioned slightly on the left side of the frame, talking straight to the camera while seated on a stool in a warmly lit lounge area. Next, a picture-in-picture layout with a photo situated on the left side of the screen shows Shashin standing in front of a Shell Recharge EV charging station while holding the pump. The photo is set against a full-screen video backdrop of solar panels encompassing the lower half of the screen while white clouds are moving against the blue sky on the top half of the screen.

Shashin

We have gone ahead and pioneered door-to-door diesel delivery for B2B customers.

[Picture in picture]

A close-up diagonal photo of the front of a white truck with a rectangular label on the side of the truck that reads “Doorstep Diesel Delivery” in block white letters against a red placard sign. It transitions to a new photo of the same truck but seen on a side view. Next, the photo changes to the same truck and angle, now with Shashin in his Shell uniform and another person standing in front of the side of the truck while Shashin is holding a peace sign. These photos are positioned in the middle of the screen set against a full-screen aerial footage slowly moving horizontally to the left featuring a parking space with several trucks parked.

As a result of that, customers do not have to take their vehicles to the fuel station.

[Video footage]

A medium shot of Shashin, positioned in the middle of the frame, talking straight to the camera while seated on a stool and leaning towards the high table in a warmly lit lounge area. The camera zooms in to a close-up of Shashin in the same area.

Shashin

Working on challenging projects together with job rotations in the program, as well as support from the leaders, helped me to excel in any of the role.

[Video footage and photos]

A medium shot of Shashin on his left side, sitting on a desk chair while typing on a keyboard. Next, a front view of his face is shown from behind his computer screen as he continues to work. The next four photos show up one after the other with one second each. A full-screen photo comes up of Shashin with a big smile set against a blurred background of people smiling and laughing. Another photo pops out with a medium long angle of Shashin holding a briefcase while walking along a blurred hallway full of people. The next photo shows Shashin in a room full of men in their Shell uniforms. Shashin is wearing a red Shell collared shirt with a neon yellow safety vest on top, and making peace signs with both his hands. The last photo is a group selfie photo with Shashin holding the camera while doing a thumbs up sign against a blurred background of an office with colleagues smiling towards the camera. A cake is on a table in between Shashin and his colleagues. The montage ends with a medium shot of Shashin back in the warm lounge speaking towards the camera.

Shashin

Shell enabled me to diversify my skills, and most importantly, they value me.

Shashin

That feeling of being valued at workplace is something I deeply care for and want to pay forward.

[Video footage]

We see a full body frame of Shashin sitting in a booth in the lounge with two of his co-workers viewing from diagonally to the left of their booth. The screen transitions to a new angle of a medium close up shot of Shashin resting his arms on the table in front of him, while smiling and listening to his co-workers. It slowly zooms in to his face. The video goes back to a medium frame of Shashin sitting on a stool in the warmly lit lounge as he talks towards the camera.

Shashin

We have established employee networks for people with disability as well as for LGBTQ+ community. And these networks also provide a platform for these communities to come together and explore their further potential.

[Video footage and photos]

Next, a photo is shown of a conference room full of people seated and listening, and looking towards a person situated on the left side of the photo.

[Split-screen footage]

The frame is split into two side-by-side screens. The left side shows Shashin talking towards the camera, the other is a close up shot of his lanyard decorated with a stripes design in rainbow colors and words that say “Proud to be an ally” in capital letters and the Shell logo. The left side changes to a photo of a group of people holding signs with positive LGBTQ+ artworks with Shashin in the middle walking along a road. The right side changes to a photo of a bigger group of people holding positive LGBTQ+ artworks standing on the stairs in front the main entrance of a building. Then, the left side transitions to another photo of a standing poster for Shell Powering Love with a rectangular cutout in the middle for photo ops, and positioned in the middle are Shashin and his colleagues.

[Video footage]

In the next frame, we see a static medium shot of Shashin back in the warm lounge, seated on a stool, speaking towards the camera.

[Transition]

Shashin

With Shell’s value-led culture, I found not only success in my career, but also a deeper sense of value for the work that I do.

[Video footage and photos]

We see the back of Shashin and we follow along as he walks down a hallway with the wall to his left showcasing Shell’s milestones throughout the years. The video changes to a view of his front, as he continues walking with a huge smile on his face. A photo is shown next of Shashin doing a peace sign and smiling towards the camera while standing with other people in a room. Next, a video shows Shashin in a small meeting room as he talks and gestures to his co-worker. We then see a close-up show of his two colleagues as they speak to him. A medium shot shows the left side of Shashin as he is seated on his desk chair while he works in front of his computer. The following frame shows a front view of him while he continues his work on his desk, looking towards his computer that is out of frame. The last frame in the montage is of Shashin in the lounge booth with his two colleagues as they share a conversation with smiles on their faces.

 Shashin

It’s an environment where you can truly thrive as you work on powering progress.

[Video footage]

A medium long shot slowly zooms in towards Shashin as he is seen sitting on an orange armchair reading a book. He is sitting in front of a wide window that brings in warm light from outside. The last frame of Shashin shows him against a blurred background of a cafeteria full of table and chairs peppered with leafy plants on waist-tall light wood planters around the space. He says his final line towards the camera.

[Video footage and animated sequence]

Over medium footage of Shashin talking towards the camera, a yellow line draws the shape of a Pecten, and text displays below this. Then, concentric Pecten shapes pulsate out from the original shape until the frame is filled with radiating Pecten shapes.
