Losing nothing to translation with AI
CTO and Co-founder, CAMB.AI
Akshat 鈥淎ck鈥� Prakash (SCS 2019) was ecstatic to watch a recent cricket match highlight reel presented in Hindi 鈥� even before he realized he was watching a voice translation made by the artificial intelligence tech he designed at the company he co-founded, .
The AI translation is nearly impossible to detect because Ack鈥檚 software preserves both the tone and timing of the original speech, creating a sports highlight that鈥檚 effortlessly convincing.
鈥淗aving your work creeping into your daily life without immediately recognizing it is the biggest gift. That moment really captures how well-integrated CAMB.AI is today,鈥� he says.
As a localization platform, CAMB.AI offers live and on-demand dubbing for any spoken media, to and from dozens of languages. Clients in the sports and entertainment industry, such as Major League Soccer, IMAX and Comcast jumped on the tech. It鈥檚 also showing up in partnership with chip manufacturer Broadcom, where CAMB.AI enables audio description tasks for better content accessibility, even when a computer is not connected online.
"My mission truly is to make sure that we not only break language barriers, but also biases about where a great AI company can come from," he says. 鈥淟anguage is no longer a barrier to any great idea or opportunity.鈥�
Recognition is rolling in for the Dubai-based company, including a spot for Ack on Forbes鈥� 30 Under 30 in Sports list in 2026. The success builds on his stint working for Apple on Siri tech. He also worked with tech accelerators such as Techstars and Alchemist on his first entrepreneurial effort to scout teenage talent in computer science.
鈥淭hat experience is how I learned more about business, and how to build scalable technologies that can be sustainable and grow,鈥� he says.
