'Mark Zuckerberg of India' Pratik Gauri Ventures Into Hollywood

A man who is referred to as the 'Mark Zuckerberg of India' is now setting his sites on Tinsel Town, and bringing his entertainment-changing technology with him.

Pratik Gauri, the visionary founder of the World’s fastest-growing blockchain unicorn 5ire.org, is venturing into Hollywood and has conceptualized what is being coined the 5th Industrial Revolution.

Here's what you should know. 5ire is Pratik’s 9th entrepreneurial venture and he has amassed a fortune building and scaling disruptive companies from the ground up.

Fun fact – this guy is only 32 years old!

As you know, last year Facebook rebranded itself as 'Meta' in order to pivot one of the world's largest digital companies towards its efforts in the metaverse.

After announcing the huge shift, Zuckerberg said, "Metaverse isn't a thing a company builds. It's the next chapter of the internet overall."

"What’s exciting about 5ire.org’s plans is that it plans to become the backbone of a new, decentralized internet on which many metaverses will be built," Pratik added. It sure seems like Gauri, has a bigger vision for the metaverse than Zuckerberg himself.

The momentum seems to be on Gauri’s side. In less than a year of starting 5ire, his company reached a valuation of $1.5 Billion with partnerships with some of the largest institutions across the world.

So why Hollywood? And why now you ask?

Well, according to Gauri, “Entertainment shapes culture and culture shapes how we engage with the world. As someone trying to build a for-purpose revolution with sustainability as its core value, funding powerful movie scripts, supporting innovative visions, investing in cutting-edge technologies, and providing technical infrastructure to give wings to path to breaking ideas in Hollywood is central to our ambitions."

We're told 5ire has elaborate plans to set up an office, deploy capital to fund promising scripts and movie stars, offer blockchain certifications in partnership with top-notch universities, and provide the technical infrastructure to revolutionize the entertainment industry at large.

Even before this announcement, Gauri has been flooded with inbound requests from some of the leading stars and Hollywood production houses. Interestingly he said no to many of them as they did not have big enough ambitions for business and sustainability. Time will tell how India’s Zuckerberg sparks a new chapter in Hollywood but it is worth paying attention to how much capital, technology, and talent he is willing to deploy to make all of it happen.

We are guessing he might want to call Dubai's 'Male Kris Jenner?!'
