- “Katraar means a group of learned people who can change the world,” Rahman said in a Twitter post. “This platform is to bring in new talents, technologies, and to bring direct revenue to help emerging technologies and probably bridge them to the future,” he said.
- In partnership with non-profit organization the HBAR Foundation, Katraar plans to bring in rare and unique non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in music, art and storytelling, Rahman said.
- Rahman will release some of his exclusive works through this platform, the Katraar website said.
- Among his achievements, Rahman has won two Academy awards, two Grammys, a BAFTA, as well as a Golden Globe.
- A Deloitte report states that the metaverse could add as much as US$1.4 trillion a year to gross domestic product across Asia by 2035, or as much as 2.4% of overall GDP. The metaverse could also create new marketplaces and businesses as well as open up employment opportunities, the report said.
