Subhash Chandra 2.0: Metaverse, edtech to be key center regions

After failing to keep a grip on the greater part of his original of organizations under the Essel Group, including road infrastructure, solar projects and diversion,  71-year-old Subhash Chandra is equipping up for rendition 2.0 with spotlight on new age organizations including advanced schooling and metaverse.

“I have made some mistakes and I accept it. But if you have the mettle in you, you can build new businesses again. There is no dearth of opportunities in this country. Creating something new motivates me even now,” Chandra told BusinessLine.

“Over the last two-three years, I have been studying the opportunities that are coming up in new technology platforms like metaverse. I have renamed it as mayaverse,” he added.

One of the things Chandra plans to carry out is virtual film that will give metaverse experience to viewers in the following two years. “We will use metaverse technologies that will make cinema viewing experience immersive like never before. We want to have such cinema centres in multiple cities,” Chandra said adding that he is now mentoring few youthful entrepeneurs to assemble the metaverse platform. 

Other center regions include tapping into the web-based training space under Zee Learn, advanced publishing and scaling up news channel WION.  

Chandra said he has been especially zeroing in on building the computerized area for Zee Media, where Essel holds almost 8.5 percent shareholding. Chandra focuses to develop the clients on this stage from 300 million to 1 billion clients in the following two-three years. “And also have all those customers as D2C customers.  Their data should all be available with me which can be monetised,” he said adding that talks are on with Microsoft to set up a computerized distributing stage for Indian news outlets.
