MUMBAI: Digital visionary and entrepreneur Manish Kumar, the brains behind the SS Yoga App by Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Digi-Osmosis, has launched his latest venture: V4B.ai, an AI-powered content agency revolutionising branded content creation. With sales offices in the UK, UAE, and USA, V4B.ai aims to redefine how businesses produce content—efficiently, affordably, and at scale.

V4B.ai eliminates the need for traditional actors and video shoots by leveraging a cutting-edge blend of AI platforms, CGI, Unreal Engine, and motion capture technology. The agency delivers high-quality, scalable, and cost-effective business content solutions that cater to an ever-demanding digital audience.

At its core, V4B.ai transforms communication with its AI-powered, multi-lingual audio-video-chatbot. This smart digital assistant replaces outdated text-based chatbots, customer service centres, and FAQ pages, acting as a 24/7 sales and training tool that offers seamless, human-like interactions.

The agency boasts an extensive library of 75 exclusive AI actors, ranging from hyper-real meta-humans and CGI-powered 3D characters to nostalgic toon mascots. These AI-driven avatars enable businesses to create engaging content at unprecedented speeds.

V4B.ai also provides a groundbreaking service—AI cloning. Individuals and brands that struggle with time and financial constraints can now create content effortlessly using their AI avatars, allowing them to communicate in multiple languages without ever stepping in front of a camera.

Speaking on the launch, Kumar shared his vision, “India has long held a leadership position in business process outsourcing (BPO). Now, we have the opportunity to dominate a new industry—business content outsourcing (BCO).”

He further explained, “Marketing and branding have always been vital for businesses, but in today’s fast-moving digital world, video content has become non-negotiable. With shrinking attention spans and skyrocketing content consumption, our goal is to make video creation affordable for SMEs and scalable for large enterprises.”

The AI-driven agency provides businesses with an innovative way to produce diverse content, including training videos, sales pitches, service guides, product showcases, social media clips, educational materials, and even fashion and e-commerce visuals—all without the need for physical shoots.

With a presence in multiple countries and an expanding client base across India, Europe, and the Middle East, V4B.ai has already begun making an impact. Multi-ethnic AI actors speaking various languages ensure that brands can localise their messaging at scale.

The company has set an ambitious target: securing one per cent of the global branded AI-content market, which is projected to reach US$ 5.2 billion by 2026. With its unique production model and cutting-edge AI integration, V4B.ai is well on its way to becoming a leader in the AI-powered content revolution.

Before launching V4B.ai, Kumar held key leadership positions in major entertainment and digital firms, including Red Chillies Entertainment and Kolkata Knight Riders, where he served as chief marketing & digital officer. His career spans over two decades, starting as the brand custodian at TVS Motors and Kinetic Honda, before becoming head of content marketing at Hungama Digital.

With V4B.ai, Kumar has once again positioned himself at the forefront of digital transformation, setting new benchmarks in AI-driven content creation.
