A launch everyone saw, explained
Tesla's flying Roadster, broken into two systems: fans that hold it down and compressed-air thrusters borrowed from rockets.

Your expert records 10 minutes. We make the series.
This is the system behind our own channel, Raksham Explains: a topic people are talking about, explained in about a minute, with graphics that make it click. Your founder or expert records about 10 minutes once and tells us their subject. We find the topics, write the scripts and build every episode: presenter, B-roll, animation, text, music, sound and captions.

Want a series like Raksham Explains for your company?
Explainer Shorts is a done-for-you series of one-minute vertical explainers. Your founder or expert records about 10 minutes once and names their subject. FDM does the rest: topics, scripts, the on-screen presenter, B-roll, animation, music, sound and the edit. We run the same system on our own YouTube channel, Raksham Explains, and make it for companies in India, the US, the UK, Australia and Europe.
What makes an explainer series work
A series you can watch now
Why it matters
Anyone can make one good Short. A series needs a repeatable way to find topics, write and shoot.
How FDM handles it
We run this format on our own channel. 8 recent episodes are on this page.
Research before the script
Why it matters
An explainer that gets a fact wrong costs more trust than it earns.
How FDM handles it
Every script is built from named sources, and your expert approves the claims.
One idea per minute
Why it matters
Viewers leave the moment a Short tries to cover two things.
How FDM handles it
One question, one picture that makes it click: the bathtub for El Niño, the rule book for your phone's clock.
Graphics made for the script
Why it matters
Stock footage alone makes every explainer look the same.
How FDM handles it
Maps, diagrams, stat cards and illustrations drawn for each episode.
Your expert barely has to show up
Why it matters
A series that needs a busy founder on camera every week usually stops in month two.
How FDM handles it
They record about 10 minutes once and approve scripts. Their presenter is built from that recording, so the series keeps going.
Works with the sound off
Why it matters
Many people scroll on mute.
How FDM handles it
Word-by-word captions and on-screen labels in every episode.
From topic to feed
How an episode gets made.
Your founder or expert talks to the camera for about 10 minutes and tells us the subject they want to be known for. We build their on-screen presenter from that recording. If they prefer to film every batch themselves, that works too.
Something your buyers are already hearing about this week, or a question they keep asking your team. We check the facts and the sources before anything is written.
One idea, one picture that makes it click, and a first line that earns the next second. Your expert approves the script. That is their main job from here on.
Presenter, B-roll, diagrams, maps and stat cards made for the script, text animation, music, sound effects and word-by-word captions, cut tight for a vertical feed.
Your expert checks every claim on a shared link. Then the next batch: one look and one voice across the whole series.

Before you brief us
Explainer Shorts questions.
Start with a first batch ↗What is an explainer Short?
A vertical video of about a minute where a presenter explains one topic, cut with graphics that make the idea easy to picture. FDM makes them as a series, so viewers start to expect the next one.
What is Raksham Explains?
It is FDM's own YouTube channel, presented by our founder Raksham Shahu through a presenter built from his own recording. Every episode on this page comes from it. We use it to run the system we offer to clients: topic, script, presenter, graphics and edit, done by the same team.
Who presents our series?
Your founder or one of your experts. A recognisable person is what turns a set of videos into a series people follow. They record about 10 minutes once; after that, their part is approving scripts.
Is the presenter an AI avatar?
By default, yes: an avatar of your own expert, built from their recording, with their voice. It is on screen for short moments; most of each episode is B-roll, diagrams and animation that FDM makes for the script. It only ever says scripts your expert has approved, and we label AI-generated footage where a platform asks for it. If you would rather film in person, we can do that instead.
Where do the topics come from?
From what your buyers are already hearing about: news in your field, a launch, a number people argue about, or a question your sales or support team gets every week. We suggest topics and you pick.
How do you make sure the facts are right?
We research each script from named sources before writing, and your expert approves every claim before we edit. We do not publish anything your team has not checked.
Which platforms is it made for?
Vertical 9:16 videos for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and LinkedIn. Captions are built in, so they work with the sound off.
Do you work with companies in India and abroad?
Yes. FDM is based in Baner, Pune, and works with companies across India and remotely with teams in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Europe. The 10-minute recording can happen at our studio in Pune or where your expert is, and reviews happen on shared links.
How is a series priced?
We quote after a short call, because the number of episodes, how often they go out and how much research each topic needs all change the job. You can start with a first batch before committing to more.
