A serial entrepreneur, Modukuru is currently working on a stealth startup. Some of his previous ventures include marketing startup SŪNYA and mental wellness startup Oneself (inactive). He has previously worked with companies like Microsoft, Cisco, and Qknow among others.

Modukuru leveraged the power of GPT-4 and prompt engineering techniques for seamless translation. To ensure accurate voice representation in different languages while preserving the original speaker's voice, he collaborated with ElevenLabs for voice training and text-to-speech capabilities.

In order to achieve precise lip syncing, Modukuru utilised wav2lip-2, which harnesses AI for generating lifelike lip movements. This breakthrough in the AI industry opens up new possibilities, allowing users to easily comprehend informative content in their preferred language.

In the near future, this technology can revolutionise dubbing, and can be used by major OTT platforms to translate content including series and movies to any other language.
