Film producers and streaming platforms need Malayalam films and shows subtitled and dubbed into other languages, often at short notice. Kochi is the home base of the Malayalam film industry, so producers, editors and voice artists are close at hand.

This studio writes subtitles for Malayalam films, web series and advertisements in English and other Indian languages, and records dubbed versions with hired voice artists. It can also add captions for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, which streaming platforms often ask for.
Kochi is the main base of the Malayalam film industry, with most producers, editing suites and sound studios in and around the city. Malayalam films now reach viewers across India and abroad on streaming platforms, and each release needs subtitles, and often dubbed versions, delivered on tight deadlines. Kochi's large pool of graduates with good English and computer skills, many drawn to the InfoPark office belt, gives you people to train as subtitle writers.
You need a sound-proofed recording room, good microphones, editing computers and subtitle software, plus translators who know both languages and the local slang well. The hard part is that machine translation keeps getting cheaper, so your value is careful, well-timed human work that gets jokes and dialect right. Producers can pay late, and platforms test your work before listing you as a supplier.
Find work by meeting producers and post-production houses in Kochi, and by applying to the supplier lists of streaming platforms.
