Former Twitter India Managing Director Manish Maheshwari quits the company and announced that he is all set to join an Ed-tech venture Metaversity

His resignation came just months after he was transferred to the United States in August when Twitter was engulfed in a range of controversies regarding compliance with the new IT rules.

Most recently, based out of the US, he was working as Head- Revenue Strategy and Operations of global emerging markets for Twitter.

Sharing the development on Twitter Manish said, “After close to 3 years, I am leaving Twitter to dedicate myself to education and teaching. While it is with a heavy heart that I leave Twitter, I am excited about the impact that can be created globally through education.”

“Education is very close to my heart. I have been a teacher since high school while growing up in a middle-class household in India’s hinterland. Even at Wharton, I paid for my education by being a teaching assistant. This is an opportunity to go back to my roots.” he added.

He further said, “I am partnering with Tanay Pratap who has been a Senior Software Engineer with Microsoft, to reimagine education. We will start by imparting employability training via a virtually immersive platform, which we are calling Metaversity.”

Elaborating Metaversity he said,” It is particularly relevant for women in emerging markets as it equalizes the playing field. It empowers them to become whosoever they want to be, build learning communities and make inroads into professional networks, thereby improving their career prospects.”

“Our vision is a high-quality and socially immersive learning experience for everyone, delivered to them wherever they are, at a price they can afford. I am looking forward to your support as we build the team and raise the funds to deliver on this Metaversity vision.” Manish said.
