My book ‘Exploring the Metaverse’, is now available in stores globally, including Amazon and BPB Online. It features forewords and testimonials from a diverse group of industry leaders, adding valuable perspectives to the content.

One of the most distinguished endorsements comes from Prof. M Manivannan, who leads the Experiential Technologies Innovation Center (XTIC) at IIT Madras.

Prof. Mani has spearheaded innovation at XTIC and have made India proud. His pioneering work in areas like iTad(interactive Touch Active Display) and integrating haptics into virtual reality solutions is noteworthy. He believes that India will become “Metaverse corridor” for the world and lead towards Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. Under his leadership, startups like Merkel Haptics have successfully transitioned academic concepts into practical applications for industry and consumers.

It has been a privilege to share the stage with Prof. Mani at the XROS Fellowship Summit, the Metaverse India Policy and Standards (MIPS) initiative, and through our collaboration on the white paper “XR in India”.

🙏 I extend my heartfelt thanks to Prof. Mani for reviewing early versions of the book, offering his invaluable insights, and contributing the following foreword:

“Future of Metaverse in India presents a captivating parallel to the concept of Maya, a concept that has existed for centuries in the country.

Kuldeep offers insights, analyses, and visions that collectively contribute to a deeper understanding of the Metaverse and its transformative potential. In this remarkable journey through the pages of this book, the readers are invited to explore the impacts and the challenges of this uncharted territory of a digital universe that has the potential to transcend the confines of screens and pixels to become an integral part of our everyday existence soon.

This book has highlighted the need for a collective effort from industry, government, academia, and people to make this Metaverse come true. The role of academia in the Metaverse is multifaceted and dynamic. As the Metaverse continues to evolve, academia stands as a guiding force, illuminating the path toward a more interconnected and knowledge-rich digital reality.

I hope the readers would embark with an open mind and an adventurous spirit, for the Metaverse awaits. "

I hope to continue fostering collaboration between academia and industry, as emphasized in my book. The future hinges on collective action from all of us, and we will be responsible for how wisely or poorly we embrace and shape technology.
