PlanetRead is a not-for-profit with the vision of a planet where everyone can read and have access to interesting and affordable reading opportunities in native and any other language(s) of interest. This vision is built around its core innovation, Same Language Subtitling (SLS), and a mission to implement SLS on audio-visual content already watched with a passion by millions of people, in every country, in locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally important languages.

PlanetRead along with the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad have implemented and published several multi-year TV pilot studies of SLS in eight Indian languages (2002-2023). This has led to a national policy mandating SLS on 50% of all entertainment programming on TV in India, by 2025. Building on the potential of SLS for reading, language learning, and media access, PlanetRead further innovated the 'AniBook' or animated stories with SLS to massively scale up children's reading in any language(s), on any screen.
