The Problem
Khan Academy is known for delivering high-quality education to students around the world. But for learners in India, the clear American accent of its narrators—while articulate—sometimes created a sense of distance. The content was rich, but the voice didn’t feel like it belonged to them.
Re-dubbing 120 hours of Khan Academy videos into Indian-accented English wasn’t easy. We had to ensure every word, tone, and emotion stayed true to the original—preserving its educational value—while making it sound more relatable. And we had to do it all at lightning speed.
The Goal
“Same lessons. Familiar voice. Bigger impact.”
Our goal was to make Khan Academy’s world-class educational videos feel more native and relatable to Indian learners—so they could focus better, understand faster, and learn more comfortably.
