Before you try to understand Flipkart’s new platform Flipverse, you need to understand a few things first such as what is immersive shopping, Web3, avatars & strands in Flipkart, Flipkart’s Firedrop platform, etc.

When or before you start using Flipverse, you will most probably come across a set of few terms that you must know to understand what Flipkart’s Flipverse platform is actually.
