Manish Maheshwari, former head of Twitter India, will leave his start-up, Invact Metaversity, after disagreements with co-founder Tanay Pratap and investors, the company’s official Twitter handle announced on Friday. Invact was founded just six months ago.
“I am moving from Invact to first take a break for a few months and then pursue new opportunities. It is heartbreaking for a founder to leave the startup, like a mother leaving her baby. I go through the same feeling, ”Maheshwari tweeted
“I have full confidence in Tanay Pratap. I want to cheer from the sidelines for Invact to become the next unicorn and eventually go to a stock exchange listing under his leadership,” he added. Invact Metaversity was started as an immersive university-like platform where students can experience a virtual-meeting-real-world. It is designed to facilitate the creation of communities and ecosystems over the open web. “Invact will continue to build on its vision of accessible quality education for all. Manish wishes all the best for the future. Farewell is always difficult,” tweeted Tanay Pratap.
