A whole new world: How an Indian EdTech platform is betting big on classrooms in the Metaverse

Firstpost  

Metaverse promises to revolutionise the Indian education system like no other technology before. Ask anyone working with the EdTech industry though, and you’ll see why many industry insiders are willing to bet big on EdTech platforms, despite the cut-throat competition and several unicorns seeing their valuations reduced. “Metaverse will bring about a major paradigm shift in how we see education in India,” says Yuvraj Krishan Sharma, the CTO, CPO, and one of the co-founders of Edverse, an EdTech platform who have the first Metaverse classroom in the country. Because of Metaverse, we are able to provide a completely decentralised and democratic platform to the students in India to learn, and teachers from across the globe, to teach.” The Metaverse isn’t the only technology that institutions like Edverse have applied to learning and teaching. EdTech platforms are increasingly introducing learning modules and education content that use 3D assets and Virtual or Augmented Reality.
