Diwali, the festival of lights, is around the corner. We all have seen so many events celebrated in various metaverses worldwide and wondered why big festivals like Diwali are not celebrated there. Finally, we have the World’s First Diwali in Metaverse! The celebration will happen on AltWorld — India’s own Social Metaverse platform, between the 22nd and 24th October.
Diwali Celebration in the AltWorld Metaverse
Subham Boundia, Co-founder at AltWorld, says “A strong component of user experience in any industry is the culture connect of target audience. A virtual Diwali experience inside metaverse is our attempt to bring an Indian phenomenon into the wave of 3D content consumption for socialising in virtual worlds.”
In AltWorld, people can join and experience the festival in a thrilling new way with Diwali-themed decorations and various activities to sparkle the festive vibe. People can create 3D Avatars that look like them, which include facial features, hairstyles, and dress up in multiple options available in clothing, footwear, and accessories. On top of these, there are also newly designed ethnic clothing options for users during this Diwali celebration.
There are various fascinating merriments for the users to enjoy with their friends & family on AltWorld. For example, users can eat & share 3D sweets and light up different types of crackers at AltWorld’s favourite spot, the Beach Club.

Lepasa – The Idea and Startup Story
2021 has been crazy or we may say the craziest year for the Crypto community. DeFi & NFTs have stolen the show from top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. It is such strong evidence that NFTs are bringing a massive number of “New Crypto Owners” to the industry. A scenario where a new user buying any crypto for the first time to buy NFT is too common nowadays.
They had started working on the “NFT” concept back in late 2020 when Cryptopunks were everywhere & the entire industry was in awe of the pixel arts. On that very day they had decided that if they are going to NFTs, it has to be something else, not just one another project in the crowd.
Being in Blockchain Tech for almost a decade, their seasoned & dedicated team suggested having an equal proportion of Tech & Art go ahead. Oh WOW! That was one strong statement that laid the founding stone for this world-class Fine Art 3D Game Ready NFT project.
They onboarded world-renowned Traditional Fine Art Artists, and CGI Artists and formed a strong bond with the Tech team. Even though NFTs have been one of the largest real-world use cases of blockchain and smart contracts to date, their adoption has been unidimensional. NFTs have been restricted to GIFs and JPEGs in popular culture, failing to incorporate the vastness the technology is capable of.
Virtual lands are envisioned as spaces where anyone can go and hang out with their friends via a monitor or through their virtual reality headset. Eventually, enthusiasts expect metaverse real estate properties to support virtual structures, where users can build whatever they’d like. But contrary to the fact most of the existing options are either low poly, cartoonish, or tokenised games. It is difficult to think of a real, immersive experience in the current scenario.
Web 3.0 will lay the foundation for the phenomenal evolution of the Internet. That’s the reason the millennials are flocking into this, their expectations from metaverse could be immense in the context of enhanced experiences, gamification, and financial gains. True to the belief of web 3.0, they are adding a 3D layer to the existing model of the tokenised, low poly/2D version of the constrained metaverses. They are building an enthralling, immersive 3D visual experience. A planned Metaverse will provide immense opportunities to participants.
Lepasa – Customer Acquisition
They had worked day and night almost a year before launching their project, and they had worked a lot on launching it when there is a lot of demand and curiosity for the project, they had 200+ customers on the day of launch.
They have been working hard to sustain their early customers and at the same time gain more new customers. Their customer base is constantly growing in the last six months they have organically grown multiple X.
Lepasa – Challenges Faced
The most challenging part in such futuristic, comparatively newer concepts is mostly around finding the right resources/talent. They have been lucky on this part as they have been in this space for a long. Still, they too have to struggle while growing their team.
Their Launch event was one of the most exciting and successful events so far, as mentioned above they had 200+ customers on day 1. They have been working constantly and their user base is growing constantly since.
The integration of blockchain technology with the real-estate could bring a revolution in the industry & will result in a lot of benefits including increased trust, enhanced loyalty, proficient data management, and access to real-time information. They have added a layer of state-of-the-art conceptualization & planning to bridge the gap between virtual & real. To create a Virtually-Real experience, it needs to perceive, conceptualize & planned as a real-world project.
Lepasa Metaverse is planned exactly like any state-of-the-art real estate project shall be planned and developed. Right from the ideation phase to town planning, they have followed real-world objectives & principles. At the ideation stage, they were driven by the idea of “Ikigai: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life” based on a study of the Blue Zones – the geographic regions where people live longer and have fewer diseases than anywhere else in the world.
Lepasa – Advisors
They have been fortunate to have the industry’s leading name in their core team & advisory. Their technical advisory associations include Polygon, FalconX, EPNS, etc.
Looking at the vast use cases and humongous possibilities with metaverse, they have been very careful and futuristic in their vision to develop such a solution that is relevant not just in the current scenario but also capable of serving the future phases of the business use cases.
