Akash Nigam, CEO of Genies, on avatars as a new communication method and what will change with XR!

Akash Co-Founded Genies with the goal of enabling a new form of communication and expression, in ways that weren't possible physically! At a point, the team was him and a couple friends at a WeWork and it happened to be that Offset reached out asking for one of their high fidelity avatars, which when posted gained substantial traction! Genies has set the industry standard for high fidelity avatars, which resulted in Bob Iger joining their board as was aligned with the vision. Akash shares what they are building to enable Genies to be the go to platform for avatar creation and integrations and how he thinks your avatar will be the base of a mixed reality experience! Hope you enjoy!
