“I am intrigued by the evolving landscape of technology and the rapid pace at which new innovations, such as generative AI, are emerging worldwide. I am delighted to be a part of this amazing futuristic world and have thus partnered with IKONZ, promoted by Abinav, to embark on this new metaverse.”
Ever since the news broke, fans have eagerly awaited this collaboration, anticipating the unique blend of Bachchan’s legendary status and IKONZ’s cutting-edge technology.
Abinav Varma Kalidindi, the founder and CEO of IKONZ, expressed his excitement, saying,
“It is a momentous day for IKONZ as the true essence of our name is realised with the iconic Amitabh Bachchan joining forces with us.”
IKONZ has garnered support from prominent investors, including Village Global, a venture firm backed by tech luminaries such as Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Reid Hoffman.
Additionally, the company has received investments from Woodstock and Polygon, as well as actor Rana Daggubati and Prasad Vanga’s Anthill Ventures.
The collaboration between Amitabh Bachchan and IKONZ holds the promise of pushing the boundaries of generative AI, creating a compelling fusion of technology and entertainment that will captivate audiences worldwide.
