MUMBAI: For NeuralGarage, to revolutionise entertainment, the answer lies in VisualDub, its groundbreaking technology addressing the age-old problem of visual dissonance in dubbed content.
Now, this Bangalore-based Generative AI start-up is set to showcase its innovation on the global stage as a finalist at SXSW Pitch 2025, competing in the ‘Entertainment, Media, Sports & Content’ category.
VisualDub synchronises the lips and jaw movements of actors with dubbed audio, creating a seamless viewing experience for audiences without compromising the original resolution. Built for films, streaming platforms, broadcast networks, and advertising, this technology transforms how content is localised, enabling brands to produce native, authentic visuals in multiple languages—without skyrocketing production costs.
“VisualDub is production-ready and meets the exacting standards of the entertainment industry,” said NeuralGarage co-founder & CEO Mandar Natekar. "Generative AI will rapidly change the way content is created, distributed, and consumed. With VisualDub, we are poised to drive this change from the front. We can’t wait to showcase the full spectrum of our technology at SXSW 25 in their pitch event.”
VisualDub already has a proven track record, having been used by major global brands to adapt ad films into multiple languages seamlessly. This innovation reduces the need for costly re-shoots while delivering content that feels native and immersive to diverse audiences.
VisualDub is the brainchild of IIT Kanpur alumni Subhabrata Debnath, Subhashish Saha, and Anjan Banerjee, along with media veteran Mandar Natekar. Together, they have built a product that has the potential to reshape the global entertainment and media landscape.
On 8-9 March 2025, NeuralGarage will pitch VisualDub before a live audience of expert judges, including heavyweights like Esther Dyson of Wellville, Arlan Hamilton of Backstage Capital, and Jessica Robinson of Assembly Ventures. Hosted by Jim Breyer of Breyer Capital, SXSW Pitch promises unparalleled exposure to Hollywood power players and global investors.
In an age where content localisation is a must for global reach, VisualDub offers a revolutionary way to make dubbed content visually cohesive and engaging. Will it win over the SXSW judges? With its cutting-edge technology and strong use cases, NeuralGarage is ready to take the leap.
