Kalakar: AI Captioning Software Made by Desi Creators, for Desi Creators

Kalakar is an AI-powered video captioning platform designed specifically for South Asian creators. Unlike Western-centric tools, Kalakar enables users to auto-generate accurate captions in over 15 major Desi languages, apply fully customizable influencer-inspired templates, and export videos with captions seamlessly integrated for social media.

South Asian creators have long faced a lack of tools that support local languages and culturally relevant caption styles. Existing captioning solutions are built for Western markets, offering poor accuracy in Desi languages and limited customization, resulting in time-consuming workflows for regional creators.

We built Kalakar to fill this critical gap by combining accurate AI transcription across major Desi languages with a rich library of customizable caption templates. Inspired by popular influencers like Iman Gadzhi, MrBeast, Devin Jatho, and Ali Abdaal, Kalakar lets creators match trending styles with one click. We also prioritized features like SRT and Alpha channel exports to ensure professional editors can easily integrate captions back into their favorite NLE software, including Premiere Pro and Final Cut.

Kalakar revolutionizes captioning for Desi creators by making accurate, stylish captions accessible, fast, and affordable. Built out of necessity and refined with real feedback from South Asian editors, Kalakar empowers creators across the region to produce professional-quality videos without relying on Western-focused solutions.
