March 30, 2022Tech Mahindra, IT services major, announced its debut into the metaverse in February, and dubbed it TechMVerse. It said that the company would work on constructing fully interactive multiverses in order to provide clients with immersive metaverse experiences.
In a press release, the company stated, “In its initial phase, Tech Mahindra will leverage the opportunities presented by the Metaverse through various use cases including DealerVerse - metaverse-based car dealership, Middlemist - NFT marketplace, Meta Bank – a virtual bank, and gaming center.”
Then, a few days ago, Mahindra & Mahindra announced its foray into the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The company's premium sports utility vehicle, Thar, will be the basis for the first-ever tranche of tokens. The NFTs will be released in partnership with Mahindra Group's IT division, Tech Mahindra.
NFTs are digital collectibles, most commonly pieces of art, that grant the buyer complete ownership of the object. They, like cryptocurrencies, are traded on the blockchain. Some of the most prized NFTs are selling for millions of dollars in auctions.
