Concept
While Vikatan sits on almost a century worth archives,anything published can become WhatsApp/ Telegram forwards and lose their value. A core value proposition is to create NFTs of them and opportunity for a piece of history to be ‘owned’ and ‘traded’. Vikatan and its plans to move into the metaverse in a new avatar as VSIRI - a play on the word Visiri which means ‘fan’ in Tamizh. With the same energy imbued in us, we proceeded on our journey to bring VSIRI to life.
