OneRare is more than just a game. It is a true Foodverse where brands & users can share common spaces for interaction and engagement. Brands get a unique opportunity to explore new ways to build a direct, customized, one-to-one connection with a global userbase.  Unlike traditional advertising where brands pay per view to build outreach, OneRare allows them to achieve this through novel methods on the blockchain. We are already seeing the first of Food brands come into the NFT space, with Coca Cola and Taco Bell releasing artworks. OneRare allows brands to go one step further with our gameplay. Users can see an actual use-case of their product as Ingredients, discover their actual in-house menu & dishes, and get to truly interact with food. As we grow, users can immerse in interactive brand experiences to discover what their favorite food business stands for. For established food brands, this is an opportunity to re-engerise their users and discover ways of monetization in Web3. Having a Foodverse presence will enable them to reach out to global audiences, new generations that haven’t yet tried them. This also makes the brand younger and more appealing, and an obvious next step from social media engagement. For new & upcoming brands, OneRare provides the perfect platform to create their first digital impression at no cost at all. They get a chance to showcase their product and use-cases in Web3 and create recall value for audiences that don’t know them yet. For Chefs & Restaurants, we create the perfect window for global recognition. With their culinary skills and fame being limited to their region or social media channels, OneRare allows chefs to go truly global, and create an emphatic entry into Web3. Rather than independent NFT releases, chefs and restaurants get to be part of a Foodverse, where their dish is engaged meaningfully in gameplay. The opportunity for the Food mavens to come into blockchain and monetise global audiences, rather than local, is tremendous. Taking their food to every corner of the world, OneRare aims to be the ultimate foodverse for the entire industry. https://www.linkedin.com/in/supreetraju/

Dr. Rashmi and her son and BYITC now guides thousands of children across the world to become math wizards through miracles of ABACUS. Now they are set in  India. Dr. Rashmi Mantri Founder & President – British Youth International College Dr. Rashmi Mantri is the Founder and President at UK-based British Youth International College. Dr. Rashmi has been through a victorious journey of 5 years in the UK, USA, Australia, and UAE, and now all set to put her foot forward with her creative concept in India as well. In 2015, she came up with an idea to let students learn through fun and curb the fear of mathematics forever. BYITC is highly dedicated to teaching children of multiple age groups starting from 4 to 17 years old invaluable skills in different areas such as Abacus, English, and Coding via e-learning through their online software. Dr. Rashmi Mantri holds 15 years of dynamic experience working in the education field and believes that the world can be changed by educating youth. She is accountable for the strategic direction and ensures the company is achieving the best of its capabilities under her guidance.

Due to her immense amount of dedication and enthusiasm to bring changes in society, Dr. Rashmi Mantri received special recognition for bringing a difference in youngster’s lives from LOANI World Summit, UK. She conceptualized BYITC to bring solid solutions for existing fear of mathematics among learners and introduce a bit of fun in the learning process. Her journey started when she realized her son’s weakness with mathematical concepts, then she started teaching her son, with the help of a humble tool called Abacus. During this teaching-learning process, she had no intentions of taking it to the global level as it is in the present times. Impressed by the outcome and after receiving inquiries and requests from parents, she then thought of accepting this as a challenge and accepted a small group of children to turn them into “Human Calculators”, the result was overwhelming, and she was invited to schools to share her skills and experience. A huge appreciation led her to accept more students and that turned out to be the beginning of British Youth International College in 2015. Dr. Rashmi Mantri is a thorough professional with a sound academic background; she holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of West of Scotland, M.Sc. (Dist.), and B.Sc. (Hons).

She always wished to return to her roots in India and work with Indian students and educators for improving the education regime in the country. Dr. Rashmi Mantri’s mission is to significantly invest in India to provide global quality in Abacus and English teaching and plans to add more than 2 lacs, students, through 1000 business partners in the next 2 years. Her vision is to offer employment opportunities in the Abacus and English teaching domain, and open enrollment for a teachers training program with 500 vacancies each quarter. Through BYITC, Dr. Rashmi Mantri wishes to bring revolution in the education sector by adding value and fun in learning mathematical, calculation and English skills of students across the globe.
