A metaverse can be described as a hypothetical replication of the Internet as a single, universal, and immersive virtual world based on the use of virtual reality and augmented reality headsets. In simpler words, it allows a person to experience things in the digital world that closely resemble positive things that the person has been experiencing in the real world.
Metaverse has excellent use cases in gaming, edtech, tourism, real estate, entertainment and event management industries. Early investors in this field may thus reap major benefits in the coming five years.
Metaverse stocks are stocks of those companies which are currently making significant investments in building their capabilities in technology related to the metaverse such as virtual reality and augmented reality.
The following are some of the companies that are making investments in the metaverse space in India –
| Name of the Stock | Change in stock price over 5 years (%) | ROCE (%) |
| Tata Consultancy Services | 90.47 | 108.08 |
| Infosys | 116.31 | 47.82 |
| HCL Technologies | 131.84 | 36.91 |
| Wipro | 88.71 | 24.56 |

Metaverse is a new field with a growing number of use cases. It is important that Indian companies build their capability in this space so that they can take advantage of such companies and technology in the future, where AR and VR are going to be more easily available and popular.
However, once the capability is built, as it is being built now, the companies with mMetaverse-related capabilities will have higher efficiency, a competitive edge and marketing channels than otherwise. This will happen as services will then be converted into products and easily spread throughout India. Therefore, the stocks of those companies with an edge in metaverse will rise, allowing investors a good exit. There is a massive market waiting to be taken over in India too, which suggests possible growth in the company’s value. Therefore, trading the stocks ofin such companies may be a good idea too.
If you are interested in buying any of these metaverse stocks, do enough research on how likely are the chances of the companies expanding into metaverse, having the capability and finances for such expansions etc. Open demat account with Angel One and start trading in the stock market today!
