Inc42 caught up with the cofounders, Maheshwari and Pratap on the company’s future plans, challenges, competition and more.

@manishm @tanaypratap

➡️What made you launch Metaversity?

@manishm: During COVID times, we saw how students suffered when everything moved online. Most of them could not go to college. They missed classes and good placement opportunities.

You have launched Meta MBA on Metversity. What’s the plan? Is it going to be limited to higher education only?

@manishm:

➡️Can we call it a marketplace then?

@manishm: Yes, a marketplace embedded with the layers of community and social experiences.

➡️Don’t you think this could be easily replicated? While the Indian government has already announced plans to launch a digital university, edtech startups like BYJU’s and Unacademy too may come up with similar offerings later?
