Invact Metaversity was founded in the second half of 2021 by Manish Maheshwari and former Microsoft executive Tanay Pratap. It runs a 3D immersive virtual learning platform, which allows students to communicate with one another and their teachers via animated avatars regardless of their physical location.

“With virtual lives playing an equally important role as physical realities, the idea of Metaverse would dominate all aspects of living,” Invact Metaversity said in a statement.

The company plans to use this capital to hire engineers, illustrators and 3D designers.
