Over the past two years, with increased access and dependence on the Internet during the pandemic, there has been an increase in the consumption of video content.
According to Statista, 61 percent of GenZ and Millennials were watching more videos on social media apps during the COVID-19 pandemic, Not only English or Hindi shows, people also started watching Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Spanish TV series and movies, among other language content.
According to a new FICCI-EY report released earlier this year, regional content consumption will account for about 50 percent of total video streaming consumption by 2025 – up from about 30 percent in 2020.
“While the global digital adoption is at its peak, there is still a huge barrier in consuming the internet for non-English users. We, at Dubverse, believe generative AI can help bridge this gap. Dubverse re-creates videos using our exclusive AI with humans in the loop system to deliver the highest quality video,” said, Varshul Gupta, Founder, Dubverse.ai.
