“India was once the wisdom capital of the world,” says Siddharth Rajsekar, founder of the Internet Lifestyle Hub (ILH) and creator of Game of Change.
‘Game of Change’
What if the future of learning is rooted in the past? That’s the question India’s newest experimental film, Game of Change, dares to explore. Launched across India’s top three movie hubs-Chennai, Mumbai, and Hyderabad-this under-one-hour pilot film is not your typical mainstream production. With a modest ₹1.5 crore budget and a powerful community behind it, the movie is setting in motion a movement to redefine both education and entertainment.
The response? Overwhelming. Audiences have rated the film between 3.5 to 4 out of 5, not just for its production, but for its message, mission, and meaning.
“India was once the wisdom capital of the world,” says Siddharth Rajsekar, founder of the Internet Lifestyle Hub (ILH) and creator of Game of Change. “We had Nalanda, Takshashila, Kanchipuram, Madurai, Nabadwip, and Udupi-universities that drew students from across the globe. Learning wasn’t transactional; it was transformational.”
But today, the reality is different. Much of India’s current education system, shaped during colonial rule, was designed to produce workers-not thinkers, not leaders, and certainly not creators. Game of Change seeks to challenge that.
The film places its focus on community learning, authentic storytelling, and real-life role models-replacing actors and celebrities with people who are actively shaping lives. Premiered in Mumbai, the movie has toured three cities where the cast and crew watched the movie alongside the audience-a rare gesture that’s leaving a deep emotional impact.
Directed by Sidhin, co-produced by Siddharth Rajsekar and Meena Chabbria, the movie features world renowned mentors like Surendran J- Founder of Success Gyan and Blair Singer.
Game of Change reflects Mahatma Gandhi’s sentiment “Be the change you want to see in the world,”. Siddharth believes change begins when we start building vibrant learning communities-spaces where people grow, share, and inspire together.
Why a pilot film now?
Because this is just the beginning. The next installment in the Game of Change series is already in the pipeline-this time with a longer runtime (1.5 to 2 hours) and a larger budget. It will be produced under a newly forming banner dedicated to real-life, purpose-driven storytelling.
What sets this franchise apart is its counter-cultural stance: instead of issuing the usual disclaimer that "all characters are fictional," Game of Change does the opposite. Its characters are real. The stories are real. Only the format is cinematic.
AI + Human Connection: The New Gurukul
Siddharth believes that in an AI-powered world, the value of human-to-human connection will become even more important. “AI gives us access to infinite information. But wisdom? That still comes from community, mentorship, and embodied knowledge-just like the Gurukul system of old.”
With the film already dubbed in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu (with more languages on the way), the team is currently pitching to OTT platforms to reach broader audiences.
At its heart, Game of Change is a wake-up call -a reminder that real change doesn’t come from rote learning, celebrity fandom, or industrial-age thinking. It comes from conscious communities, local leaders, and the courage to ask: What if we rewrote the script?
