Industries often talk about transformation but hesitate when change disrupts established systems. IAVerse, under the leadership of Shantanu Barai, has quietly changed this narrative, enabling modernization without fear.
Founded in 2022 with a modest ₹3 lakh investment, IAVerse is now a ₹12 crore enterprise, redefining industrial processes with its immersive platforms—iTwinity and iSimulo.
The brilliance of IAVerse lies in its integration. Instead of demanding costly infrastructure overhauls, its solutions work seamlessly with existing systems, providing immediate benefits. iTwinity offers real-time visualization and analytics, while iSimulo enables scenario testing and immersive employee training.
Resistance from industries was natural. Legacy systems carry decades of inertia. But Shantanu’s strategy of pilot projects demonstrated efficiency improvements and ROI, gradually breaking down resistance.
Today, IAVerse partners with government bodies, Fortune 500 companies, and global manufacturers, proving that industrial modernization can be both effective and non-disruptive.
Its impact is tangible: reduced downtime, enhanced decision-making, faster employee onboarding, and better process visualization. By helping industries adapt to Industry 4.0 standards, IAVerse is making them future-ready.
The company’s efforts have earned it prestigious accolades, including the Digital Visionary of the Year 2025 and the Most Transformative Digital Twin Innovation Award. CIO Tech Outlook further recognized it among India’s Top 10 Deeptech Companies.
For Shantanu, success is not just about technology but its usability. His guiding principle is that “technology is only valuable when it integrates seamlessly and delivers quick wins.”
Inspired by Satya Nadella’s transformative leadership at Microsoft, Shantanu envisions IAVerse expanding into smart cities and infrastructure ecosystems. His advice to future entrepreneurs is rooted in this philosophy: “Innovation must align with market readiness. Solve real problems, and success will follow.”
What began as a small venture in Kolkata has now become an industrial revolution in motion. Through IAVerse, Shantanu is not only modernizing industries but also building a blueprint for how legacy systems can embrace the future with confidence.
