Hosted by Sharlaine from Orbis86, the conversation delved into Hari’s career trajectory, challenges, and the future of gaming in India.

Reflecting on his experience in venture acceleration, Hari emphasized the importance of understanding users and treating gaming as a product. This approach, rooted in business principles, has guided Hari’s endeavors in the gaming industry, where user engagement and monetization are paramount.
Metaverse Gaming Innovation: Hari Krishnan’s Journey at BharatBox

From launching a $100 Million Sand fund to support Indian creators to creating experiences based on Indian culture, BharatBox is at the forefront of fostering innovation in the gaming space.
Given the promise of the gaming and metaverse industry in India, Hari acknowledges the challenges ahead, particularly in the widespread adoption of virtual spaces. To address these challenges, Bharat Box is focused on making platforms like Sandbox more accessible by launching Android and iOS versions and reducing friction in the user experience. To ensure that their platforms reflect Indian culture, Bharatbox has partnered with Mithova Studios to create experiences for users based on the events of the Mahabharata series. They are also planning integration with corporations and D2C brands.
Looking ahead, Hari sees great potential in web3 gaming, interoperability among platforms, and play-to-earn mechanisms. These developments are poised to reshape the gaming and leisure landscape in India, offering new possibilities for creators and customers alike. They can face challenges in coordinating with Bollywood celebrities and educating them about the benefits of the metaverse.
In closing, Hari provided insights for others on a similar journey in the industry, encouraging them to discover possibilities within the gaming and web3 spaces.
