MetaDrive blurs the distinction between virtual racing and real-world driving experiences by combining real-time motion input, precise mechanics, and immersive simulation.

The company balances high-end technical applications with pleasure through its operations in arcade gaming, professional driver instruction, and B2B simulation use cases.

Although the technology was impressive, the Sharks expressed concerns about agreements that were not revealed, opaque financial arrangements, and a lack of transparency around revenue sources.

With a live racing demo featuring Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta competing on the simulator, MetaDrive requested ₹90 lakh in exchange for 1% equity.

Sharks admired the ingenuity and Manish’s talent, even calling him “India’s Leonardo Da Vinci,” but dropped out owing to trust difficulties, NDAs, and murky financial engineering.

MetaDrive left without a transaction, demonstrating that in order to gain the trust of investors, even cutting-edge technology needs to be accompanied by openness, clarity, and a targeted business plan.
