Aditya Deshpande On The Future Of XR With Now VR Talking

XR is moving beyond the metaverse. With AI, spatial computing, VR, AR and smart glasses converging, a new generation of immersive and interactive technology is taking shape.

Two years ago, we backed AutoVRse when enterprise spatial computing was still finding its footing. Earlier this year, we doubled down on that bet. So what did we see in them then, and what made us reinvest?

In this episode of Now VR Talking, Ashwin Jaishanker, Founder and CEO of AutoVRse, sits down with Aditya Deshpande, Principal at Lumikai, to revisit that first pitch and trace how AutoVRse evolved from a VR-first business to building AI-powered enterprise solutions.

They discuss Lumikai's conviction in the team, how its thinking on frontier technology has evolved, and the CIDE framework (Creation, Interaction, Distribution and Economics) for building AI-era moats.

If you are curious about what it takes to build companies in frontier technology, where XR is heading next, and why India's startup ecosystem could play a significant role in shaping the future of interactive technology, this episode is for you.
