The Metaverse represents an enduring and constant multiuser realm that merges the physical world with digital virtual elements. It stands as the cosmos beyond the realm of reality. The term “metaverse” refers to a shared, permanent, immersive, three-dimensional virtual environment that combines the physical and digital worlds and allows users to interact in real time while shopping, working, playing, and hanging out. Since the beginning of the internet, its quick development and the present entry into a new technological era with Metaverse have moved many human activities from the real world to the virtual one. All human necessities, from shopping to education, are now performed in a 3D virtual world where bitcoin is used for payments instead of actual money. Even art is available to buyers online in the current day. The Metaverse has led to the emergence of new professions and the expansion of the economy across numerous dimensions. People's lives are made simpler by the metaverse, yet there are certain obstacles along the road that take the form of downsides and uncertainties. The Metaverse offers India's developing e-commerce sector a big potential. The Indian e-commerce industry, estimated to reach $ 99 billion, is experiencing substantial annual growth. The e-commerce business in India has drawn growing attention from investors in Asia and other foreign markets. The idea of the Metaverse, with all of its advantages and disadvantages, is gradually changing society and people's way of life.
