hoichoi, the Bengali-language streaming platform, wanted four of its original series available to Tamil and Telugu audiences, along with their trailers. The series stream on the hoichoi app and on hoichoi's channel on Amazon Prime Video, so the delivery had to meet the OTT dubbing specification for both, include audio description tracks for accessibility, hold casting and terminology steady across every episode, and land inside one month.
