The aim is to make Indian youth competent, capable and self-sustainable.

"Our vision is to make India a nation of creators instead of just consumers when it comes to immersive technologies.

According to an official release, AjnaLens aims to solve the problem of unemployment at grassroot level in India through the world of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies. Additionally, with their new AjnaXR glasses and learning platform AjnaVidya, users can learn all kinds of skills inside the virtual space. They also allow every user to interact with each other and provide leaderboards that measure learning performances and outcomes.

"Our Partnership with AjnaLens is a big step towards reshaping the way we imagine education and training. The world is changing faster than ever, and there is a strong need to upgrade the content and platform for providing skill based training to our youth - make them future ready. With the combined strength of AjnaLens' hardware and MetaStudios' immersive content, we are stepping on an ambition to build a skilled workforce from India, for the world," said Kapil Dhiman, CEO, MetaStudios.
