Sora 2 Arrives on Segmind: Bringing AI Video Generation to India
We are excited to share that OpenAI’s most advanced AI video generation models, Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro, are now available across India through Segmind.
For the first time, Indian users, including creators, developers, and enterprises, can officially access Sora models with the Segmind Playground interface and full API support.
What is Sora 2?
Sora 2 is OpenAI’s flagship video generation model that requires a basic image or text input to produce detailed and dynamic video clips that are precisely audio-synced. The model is for creators, brands, and developers who desire more than static images, as it can design ads or exquisite cinematic sequences. Sora 2 can produce impressive videos that include ambient audio, sound effects, and music, simply from short descriptions.
Sora 2 will enable you to generate detailed video scenes, for example:
“A man walking through a rainy day on a Bangalore street.”
The output features visuals with precisely synchronized sounds and a lively atmosphere for a realistic appeal. It supports English and also works seamlessly with major Indian languages like Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and more.

What Sets Sora 2 Pro Apart from Sora 2?
Sora 2 Pro will work exceptionally well for professionals and production-level use cases. It is engineered to produce videos with the highest fidelity, richer motion dynamics, and enhanced audio-visual coherence.
Compared to Sora 2, it renders higher-resolution videos (up to 1792×1024) and supports longer clip durations, while effectively preserving the cinematic consistency and clarity in each frame.
| Model | Resolution | Performance | Speed | Price (per sec) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sora 2 | 1280×720 (HD) | Higher | Slow | $0.10 |
| Sora 2 Pro | 1280×720 → 1792×1024 (HD → FHD+) | Highest | Slowest | $0.30 – $0.50 |
Both versions produce videos with synchronized audio, but Sora 2 Pro delivers higher quality, making it an optimum choice for storytelling, advertising, music videos, or professional-level visuals.
Before being available on Segmind, the Indian creators didn’t have direct access to Sora models due to geographic and billing restrictions.
How Sora 2 Stacks Up Against Other Models?
What's the biggest difference in new AI video models?
Synchronized audio: Compared to AI video models (released before Sora 2) that could only deliver visual, Sora is the only one that generates precisely synced video and audio output.
Which AI video model is best?
It depends on what you need:
- For the best quality: OpenAI's Sora 2.
It creates impressive videos with high-quality layered sound, making it ideal for film-grade projects. - For smart storytelling: Google's Veo 3.
It is designed to generate audio to complement the mood and story of a scene. - For fast results: Google's Veo 3 Fast.
It prioritizes speed over perfection, making it a preferable option for creating drafts in a short time and social media content.
Pricing and Usage
Segmind follows OpenAI’s global pricing structure, accessible for professional content generation:
- Sora 2:
$0.10 per second for 720p video generation - Sora 2 Pro:
$0.30 per second for 720p and $0.50 per second for 1024p videos
Based on this pricing structure,

Prompt Example 1: Cinematic Scene
“A woman walks through a rainy street in Bangalore at night, there are reflections on the wet road, flickering restaurant lights, cars passing by, cinematic lighting, soft piano background music.”
The prompt generates a 720p video clip with dynamic rain motion, street reflections, and soft-synced piano audio.
Prompt Example 2: Product Video

“Aerial view of Himalayan mountains at sunrise, clouds drifting slowly, birds flying, gentle wind sound.”
This prompt is ideal for travel creators and stock-video producers.
Pro Tip:
You can also upload a reference image: your brand's logo or a still frame, and use the same prompt to turn it into a moving sequence.
