Card Byte - Replacing Business Cards- Building Business Networks - In Conversation with Navinn Kapur, Co-Founder & Director
CardByte, a recently launched contactless contact management and business networking company. The onset of the pandemic brought about many changes in our lives and engulfed us with terminologies that have become part of the ‘New Normal’ or our daily routine. Being ‘Contactless’ is no longer a choice or style statement but a way of life. But isn’t this situation an oxymoron, because on one hand technology has redefined the way we interact but at the same time it also has given us multiple outposts to connect. What it truly means is that we now want to Contact-More via Contact-Less.
It is this concept of contactless contact management translating into seamless business networking that is the sole foundation of CardByte. A business card-based business networking and contact management for individuals and companies, CardByte is driven and regulated with proprietary AI-integrated management systems

ONE RARE - Feasting in Foodverse - In Conversation with Supreet Raju
OneRare is more than just a game. It is a true Foodverse where brands & users can share common spaces for interaction and engagement. Brands get a unique opportunity to explore new ways to build a direct, customized, one-to-one connection with a global userbase. Unlike traditional advertising where brands pay per view to build outreach, OneRare allows them to achieve this through novel methods on the blockchain. We are already seeing the first of Food brands come into the NFT space, with Coca Cola and Taco Bell releasing artworks.
OneRare allows brands to go one step further with our gameplay. Users can see an actual use-case of their product as Ingredients, discover their actual in-house menu & dishes, and get to truly interact with food. As we grow, users can immerse in interactive brand experiences to discover what their favorite food business stands for.
For established food brands, this is an opportunity to re-engerise their users and discover ways of monetization in Web3. Having a Foodverse presence will enable them to reach out to global audiences, new generations that haven’t yet tried them. This also makes the brand younger and more appealing, and an obvious next step from social media engagement.
For new & upcoming brands, OneRare provides the perfect platform to create their first digital impression at no cost at all. They get a chance to showcase their product and use-cases in Web3 and create recall value for audiences that don’t know them yet.
For Chefs & Restaurants, we create the perfect window for global recognition. With their culinary skills and fame being limited to their region or social media channels, OneRare allows chefs to go truly global, and create an emphatic entry into Web3. Rather than independent NFT releases, chefs and restaurants get to be part of a Foodverse, where their dish is engaged meaningfully in gameplay.
The opportunity for the Food mavens to come into blockchain and monetise global audiences, rather than local, is tremendous. Taking their food to every corner of the world, OneRare aims to be the ultimate foodverse for the entire industry.

Dr. Rashmi has been through a victorious journey of 5 years in the UK, USA, Australia, and UAE, and now all set to put her foot forward with her creative concept in India as well. In 2015, she came up with an idea to let students learn through fun and curb the fear of mathematics forever. BYITC is highly dedicated to teaching children of multiple age groups starting from 4 to 17 years old invaluable skills in different areas such as Abacus, English, and Coding via e-learning through their online software.
Dr. Rashmi Mantri holds 15 years of dynamic experience working in the education field and believes that the world can be changed by educating youth.
