For over a decade, YourStory has been at the forefront of India’s startup revolution, and has shaped the narrative of the country’s new innovation-driven economy. Today, as India and the world stand at the cusp of pushing the reset button in almost every industry, YourStory is bullish on a future that will be decentralised, community-driven, and built on Web 3.0. 

We believe that even as blockchain technology adoption across sectors has been accelerating at a rapid pace, shaping whole industries and driving efficiency and growth, a new way to experience the Internet is now upon us. Web 3.0 — the latest slew of apps and digital services powered by blockchain — is on the path to becoming this generation’s defining invention, just like the Internet did over the past three decades.

At this opportune moment, YourStory is launching The Metaverse Summit – a flagship event and platform for bringing the global blockchain and Web 3.0 ecosystem together to BUIDL a decentralised future and accelerate innovation in the building blocks of the Metaverse.

YourStory’s The Metaverse Summit will showcase the new wave of Web 3.0 innovations, powered by blockchain technology which will fundamentally transform the way we interact with the digital world and the internet economy at large, and spotlight the companies and innovators leading the Metaverse revolution — a Web 3.0-enabled virtual universe that combines virtual spaces and multiple aspects of digital technologies, such as cryptocurrencies, virtual reality, to allow global users to meet, chat, work, and play games.

On December 18, 2021, join us at a virtual event for the launch of The Metaverse Summit, where we reveal the dates for the global, mega version of The Metaverse Summit (to be held in March 2022) and share other key details about the event.
