In an official statement, Naren Ravula, VP and Head, Product Strategy and Deployment, at Flipkart Labs, said, "The launch of Flipverse will continue to have an impact on innovative industries like e-commerce and enhance the customer experience while delivering a gamified and immersive shopping experience, especially in light of the adoption of the metaverse and web3 platforms by multiple brands in India."
He further added, "By providing customers with access to their preferred brands, offers, SuperCoins, and digital collectables, we are aiming to improve their shopping experiences in a virtual and immersive setting."
The objective of the launch is to 'flip' the shopping narrative, allowing consumers to get closer to their favourite brands in a metaverse where the communication runs two ways.
Flipverse will be available on Flipkart's newly launched platform, FireDrops, which can be accessed from the e-commerce platform's app. It will enable a multiverse of brands to create unique product launches, discovery and inspiring experiences to attract and engage users.
At the same time, it will give brands the ability to generate and create their metaverse-ready digital twin in the virtual world, the company said.
