Here are some of the most frequently asked questions on metaMBA:
1) What is metaMBA and how different is it from a traditional MBA?
The metaMBA is unique in that it will be made accessible to a large number of people. We’re offering education in the metaverse, which helps students learn in a socially immersive environment.
Given how everyone throughout the world has had to adjust to a remote setting, this will be a powerful way for us to reinvent education. The idea is to make good quality education accessible to millions of people. Another one of our strengths is the proof of work concept through which learners can work on real problems.
2) You are an alumni of the prestigious Ivy League and hence couldn’t fall short on career opportunities. What motivated you to come up with metaMBA?
I have always been passionate about reforming education. Whatever I have been able to achieve was because of the kind of education I received. With quality education, one can break into new and challenging frontiers, and even change the course of their life.
I wanted to scratch this itch by guaranteeing that everyone had access to this type of knowledge, but we didn’t want to go along with the crowd. We wanted individuals to have a university-like experience from the comfort of their own couches, and we’re doing this in the metaverse.
