The Future of Global Storytelling

The Problem

Creating lip-synced videos in multiple languages usually takes massive post-production work: dubbing, editing, and endless back-and-forth between translators and VFX artists.

For creators, studios, and brands that want to reach global audiences, that’s time and money lost before a video even launches.

The Solution

Sync Labs builds AI-powered dubbing that actually looks natural.
Their platform syncs speech, facial movement, and emotion in real time.

Lips move naturally, and the performance stays authentic.

What once took weeks of editing now takes minutes with the state-of-the-art models that Sync has built:

  • LipSync-2 model achieves frame-accurate alignment between voice and facial movement, preserving the tone and emotion of the original performance

  • LipSync-2 Pro model extends these capabilities to cinematic and full-body scenes, giving studios precise control over motion, lighting, and mouth realism

The Market

The global media localization industry is worth more than 200 billion dollars and growing fast as video becomes the universal language of the internet. As demand for high-quality multilingual content surges, Sync’s own growth reflects that momentum.

The platform has 100,000s of users joining through its freemium model.

From YouTubers expanding audiences overseas to film studios localizing for new markets, Sync helps creators scale their stories without losing their voice.

Meet the Founders

Prady Modukuru, Sync’s Founder and CEO, is an AI engineer and product leader who previously built large-scale systems at Microsoft, working at the intersection of language, video, and creative technology.

A lifelong builder with a background in computer vision and generative media, Prady has spent his career exploring how AI can make storytelling more human.

Along with his three co-founders — Prajwal K R, Rudrabha Mukhopadhyay, and Pavan Reddy — they started Sync Labs to remove language as a barrier to global creativity.
