Introduction:

In the vast landscape of the cinema industry, where visuals transcend boundaries, a revolutionary concept was born in 2020 – Cinedubs.

The brainchild of Aditya Kashyap and his brother Vineet Kashyap, CINEDUBS is not merely an app; it’s a testament to the power of inclusivity, breaking language barriers, and making the magic of movies accessible to everyone.

Journey:

Aditya Kashyap, an industry professional with a passion for cinema, and Vineet Kashyap, a seasoned expert in software development, embarked on this groundbreaking journey inspired by a personal inconvenience.

Aditya found himself unable to enjoy Mission Impossible in 2014 while in Paris, as all the shows were in French.

This experience led to a profound realization – that language should never be a barrier to cinematic enjoyment.

Product:

Driven by this mission to make the cinema industry more inclusive towards vernacular languages, the Kashyap brothers founded Cinedubs.

The app’s primary purpose was to offer movie audio in various vernacular languages, ensuring that audiences could enjoy their favorite films in their preferred language, regardless of their geographical location.

Challenges Faced:

The early days of Cinedubs in 2020 were marked by challenges:

  • Movies released in limited languages
  • Obtaining licenses for movie audios proved to be a formidable task
  • It took two years to secure audio rights for their first movie

Transformation:

However, by the end of 2022, Cinedubs had transformed these challenges into triumphs:

  • Raised an impressive $350,000 in a seed funding round
  • Implemented AI-based tracking to sync audio in real-time, ensuring a seamless viewing experience
  • Enlisted acclaimed actor R Madhavan as their Brand Ambassador, adding star power to their mission
  • Projected revenue of $2.3 million by the financial year 2024-2025
  • Celebrated the download of 80,000 soundtracks by over 35,000 users
  • Entered discussions with major production houses such as Warner Bros and Universal Studios

Cinedubs’ success is not only measured by its financial achievements but by the impact it has had on the cinematic experience of users worldwide.

The app’s commitment to breaking language barriers resonates with its growing user base, making movies a truly universal language.

As Cinedubs continues to grow, it envisions a future where the theatre industry becomes more inclusive globally, introducing more movies and languages to cater to diverse audiences.

  • The app is not just a technological innovation;
  • it’s a cultural bridge,
  • connecting people through the universal love for storytelling and cinema.

Conclusion:

In a world where diversity is celebrated, Cinedubs stands at the forefront of ensuring that everyone, regardless of their language or location, can immerse themselves in the magic of cinema.

The journey from an inconvenience in Paris to a thriving app influencing the global cinema landscape is a testament to the vision and determination of the Kashyap brothers and their Cinedubs team.
