Nothing can be 'lost in translation' for Mumbai-based entrepreneur Mayank Jain. His company, VAudioT, is one of the leading names in India, when it comes to providing translation, trans-creation, dubbing, and other services related to the world of films, television and OTT platforms.
Born into a Marwari-Jain family based in Ajmer, Rajasthan, Jain completed his schooling from Utpal Shanghvi School in Mumbai, and went on to pursue his Master's in Computer Science from Mithibai College. After completing his high school exams, he took up a summer job at Sound and Vision India, one of India's foremost media localisation companies. The founder, late Leela Ghosh, a Dadasaheb Phalke Award recipient, trained Jain in the areas of dubbing direction and script writing. And then, there was no looking back for him.
Making a beginning
Jain’s work entails adapting an English (or any other foreign language) movie or show and making it Indian by way of trans-creating (not simply translating it). He ensures that meaning is justified and simplified to such an extent that anyone can understand and relate with it. Till date, Jain has trans-created more than 150 Hollywood films from English to Hindi for the silver screen, television as well as several OTT platforms. He writes in all genres—drama, romance, action, comedy, sci-film, lifestyle, travel, and food—and has also trans-created more than 100 movies from languages down south into Hindi.
