Kamaverse is an avenue for visitors to explore the vast world of intimacy and eroticism. The two-floor zone has selfie (take a selfie and win rewards), products (browse through and buy the wide range of top Kamasutra products) and NFT (create art and get it featured on Kamaverse) zones on the ground level. The first level is dedicated to KamaCafe (a hangout zone), seduction (videos and creatives on the art of seduction), pleasure (fun and exciting way to learn about foreplay) and lovemaking (lessons on lovemaking based on the modern Kamasutra ideology) wings. The visitors can also be part of an exciting treasure hunt, and engage with the lovely, Kamya, a virtual influencer who will give a tour of Kamaverse.
Visiting Kamaverse has its rewards. Visitors, who click selfies at the selfie zone and linking them to their social media handles, stand to win exciting prizes. They are also encouraged to experiment with their imagination by creating their own NFTs. The best ones will feature on the existing NFT wall with the names of the creators.
Last year, KamaSutra became India’s first ever sexual wellness brand to launch NFTs in the category. A pioneer for introducing the concept of sex as a pleasure to India joined hands with Bobble AI, the country’s largest conversation media platform, to launch its six distinct NFTs as part of its sexual wellness campaign. The funds generated from the sales were donated to Pathfinder International, a global non-profit that focuses on sexual wellness and reproductive health.
