OmNamashivaya Biri , Founder at Privaseverse

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?

OmNamashivaya Biri: The idea for Privaseverse came from my deep frustration with the current  state of internet privacy. After working on multiple startups, I realized that PII(Personally  Identifiable information) data breaches and privacy violations weren’t just occasional issues they  were becoming the norm. From A for Apple to Z for Zoom, every major company has been affected  by data breaches, and I knew this was a problem that needed a radical solution. 

Initially, I was focused on building a SOS device & hospital management software with a strong  emphasis on privacy. But as I explored further, it became clear that the real issue was much broader  our entire internet infrastructure was built in a way that made true privacy nearly impossible. That’s  when I realized I couldn’t just patch up the existing system. I had to create something entirely new. 

Web 3.0 was a step in the right direction, focusing on decentralization, but it still left significant  gaps in privacy and data security. Web 5.0 aimed to push even further, but even then, it didn’t fully  address the issue of PII data breaches. I saw an opportunity to build something beyond these  advancements, an ecosystem that guarantees privacy and anonymity at its core. 

That’s how Privaseverse was born. It’s not just another platform it’s a completely new digital  universe, built on seven fundamental rules: 100% privacy, 100% anonymity, zero ads, zero trackers, zero data selling, zero data sharing, and zero PII data breach. To achieve this, I developed Cyber 2.0 technology, which goes beyond what Web 3.0 and Web 5.0 offer. It’s a privacy-first foundation that  makes our apps not just secure but fundamentally data breach-proof. Seeing the potential to redefine how people interact with the internet, and to create a safer digital  world, has driven me every step of the way. 

Great Companies: What are the various services provided by Privaseverse? 

OmNamashivaya Biri: Privaseverse is more than just a single product it’s an entire Privacy ecosystem built to redefine  privacy and security on the internet. Here’s what we offer: 

1.Privasemail: This is our flagship service, an anonymous email app suite designed to give users  full control over their communication. Privasemail ensures that every message sent and received is  fully encrypted with end-to-end encryption (E2EE), and users remain completely anonymous.  Unlike traditional email services, Privasemail guarantees that no personal data is ever tracked,  stored, or sold lastly not to mention it comes with PII data breach proof by default.

2. AnyKrypt: A secure file-sharing app that allows users to share files, documents, and media with complete privacy. AnyKrypt uses 128-bit end-to-end encryption, and each file is secured with a  unique key. This ensures that only the intended recipient can access the content, keeping it safe  from prying eyes. It’s perfect for sharing sensitive information without worrying about PII data  breaches.

3. Cyber 2.0 Technology: At the core of Privaseverse is our proprietary Cyber 2.0 technology.  This isn’t just a service, but the backbone of everything we do. It’s an advanced security protocol  that goes beyond Web 3.0 and Web 5.0 technologies by making all our apps PII data breach-proof.  Cyber 2.0 enforces the seven fundamental rules of Privaseverse, ensuring 100% privacy, 100%  anonymity, and zero PII data breaches across all our services.

4. PacID (Privaseverse Anonymous Citizenship ID): Every user of Privaseverse receives a unique  PacID, which acts as their identity across the entire ecosystem. PacID ensures that there’s no link  between a user’s personal information and their digital activities. It’s a decentralized identity  management system that includes zero-knowledge proof, ensuring complete anonymity and  security

5. Software Ingredients Sheet: We’ve introduced the world’s first ‘ingredients sheet’ for software,  similar to what you’d find on food packaging. This sheet details what’s inside every app trackers,  analytics, cookies, data sharing practices, etc. providing complete transparency to our users. It’s  available on every page of our apps, so users always know what they’re interacting with.

These services are just the beginning. Privaseverse is designed to expand, bringing more privacy focused apps and services into the fold. Our goal is to create a digital universe where privacy isn’t  just an option it’s the default. 

Great Companies: What makes Privaseverse different from hundreds of other similar service  providers? 

OmNamashivaya Biri: What truly sets Privaseverse apart from the countless other service providers is our unwavering  commitment to privacy, security, and transparency values that are not just part of our marketing but  are embedded into the very DNA of everything we do. 

1.Cyber 2.0 Technology: Unlike most platforms that rely on existing security frameworks, we’ve  developed our proprietary Cyber 2.0 technology. This technology goes beyond the capabilities of  Web 3.0 and Web 5.0 by making all our apps PII breach-proof. While others may offer encryption,  Cyber 2.0 enforces seven non-negotiable rules: 100% privacy, 100% anonymity, zero ads, zero  trackers, zero data selling, zero data sharing, and zero PII data breach. This is not just an upgrade  it’s a fundamental shift in how digital security is approached.

2. Complete Anonymity with PacID: Many services claim to protect user data, but few can offer  true anonymity. With Privaseverse, every user is issued a Privaseverse Anonymous Citizenship ID  (PacID), which ensures that there is no link between their real identity and their online activities.  PacID is built with zero-knowledge proof, meaning even we don’t know who our users are. This  level of anonymity is unparalleled in the industry. 

3. Transparency with the Software Ingredients Sheet: We’re the first in the world to introduce the  ‘software ingredients sheet’ a concept inspired by food labeling. This sheet provides full  transparency, detailing every aspect of what’s inside our apps, from trackers to data-sharing  practices. It’s available on every page, so users always know exactly what they’re interacting with.  No other service offers this level of transparency.

4. No Compromise on Privacy: Many companies claim to prioritize privacy but still make  compromises, like allowing ads or trackers. At Privaseverse, we’ve built our entire ecosystem  around the idea that privacy isn’t just a feature it’s a fundamental right. We don’t track, store, or sell user data. Period. Our zero-compromise approach means that our users can trust that their  information is safe, no matter what. 

5. A Vision Beyond the Current Internet: While many providers focus on improving or securing  existing systems, Privaseverse is about creating an entirely new digital universe. We’re not just  offering apps we’re building a platform where privacy and security are the foundation of everything. This forward-thinking approach positions Privaseverse as a leader in the next generation of internet technology. 

6. Privacy-Centric Development: Our services are designed with the users privacy in mind. From  Privasemail to AnyKrypt, every app is built to empower users with control over their data. We listen to our community, continuously refining our products based on their feedback, ensuring that our  solutions are not just effective but also user-friendly. 

Privaseverse isn’t just another service provider it’s a movement toward a safer, more private  internet. We’re not following the trends we’re setting new standards. 

Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome  them?

OmNamashivaya Biri: The journey to building Privaseverse has been anything but smooth. From personal life constraints  to technical challenges, I’ve faced numerous obstacles along the way. But each challenge has taught me valuable lessons and pushed me to innovate in ways I never imagined. 

1.Early Betrayal and Setbacks: My entrepreneurial journey began with the development of an  SOS device designed to send location data to hospitals during car accidents. I worked on it for 18  months, pouring everything into making it a success. But I was betrayed by friends who were  supposed to help build it, and ultimately, I had to shut it down due to a lack of market potential.  This experience was a harsh introduction to the realities of business, but it also taught me the  importance of trust and resilience. I realized that I needed to be more careful about who I worked  with and to always have a contingency plan. 

2. Technical Challenges: Developing Cyber 2.0 technology wasn’t easy. It required a level of  innovation that went beyond what was currently available in Web 3.0 and Web 5.0. The challenge  was to create a system that was not only secure but fundamentally PII breach-proof. There were  countless sleepless nights, endless iterations, and moments of doubt. But I kept pushing forward,  driven by the belief that this was the only way to truly protect people’s privacy online. The result  was a technology that’s now the backbone of Privaseverse and sets us apart from everyone else. 

3. Gaining Trust and Credibility: In the early days, convincing people to trust a new platform that  promised absolute privacy was a significant challenge. With so many companies making similar  claims and failing to deliver, skepticism was high. To overcome this, I focused on transparency. I  introduced the world’s first software ingredients sheet, detailing every aspect of our apps, from  trackers to data-sharing practices. This move not only built trust but also set a new standard for  transparency in the industry. 

4. Balancing Innovation with Simplicity: Another challenge was making sure that the advanced  technology behind Privaseverse was accessible and user-friendly. Cyber 2.0 is incredibly powerful,  but it’s also complex. The challenge was to present it in a way that users could easily understand  and interact with. I overcame this by continuously iterating on the user interface and gathering  feedback from real users to make sure that Privaseverse was as intuitive as it was powerful.

5. Standing Out in a Crowded Market: With so many privacy-focused services out there, it was  crucial to differentiate Privaseverse. I knew that being just another service provider wasn’t enough.  I focused on making sure that everything we did was rooted in our seven fundamental rules and that we were truly offering something no one else could absolute privacy and anonymity, backed by our unique Cyber 2.0 technology. This differentiation has helped us carve out a niche in the market and  attract users who are serious about their privacy. 

Each of these challenges could have derailed Privaseverse, but instead, they became the driving  force behind our innovations. I’ve learned that challenges are opportunities in disguise, and with the right mindset, they can lead to breakthroughs that define your success. 

Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look  like for Privaseverse ?

OmNamashivaya Biri: My vision for Privaseverse is to transform the way the world interacts with technology by making  privacy and security the default, not the exception. Over the next five years, I see Privaseverse  evolving from a pioneering platform to the global standard for digital privacy and anonymity.

1.Expansion of the Ecosystem: In the immediate future, I plan to expand the Privaseverse  ecosystem by developing and launching more apps built on our Cyber 2.0 technology. We’ve  already started with Privasemail and AnyKrypt, but there’s so much more to come. I envision a full  suite of essential apps everything from messaging to cloud storage to social networking each  adhering to our seven fundamental rules. This will provide users with a comprehensive, privacy first digital environment where they can conduct all their online activities without fear of PII data  breaches or privacy invasions. 

2.Global Reach and Adoption: Over the next five years, I aim to make Privaseverse a household  name worldwide. We’ll be focusing on increasing our global reach through strategic partnerships,  aggressive marketing, and expanding our user base across different regions. We’ll also be working on making our technology more accessible by localizing our services for different languages and  markets, ensuring that everyone, regardless of where they are, can benefit from the security and  privacy that Privaseverse offers. 

3. Development of New Technologies: While Cyber 2.0 is already a significant advancement over  Web 3.0 and Web 5.0, I’m not stopping there. In the coming years, I plan to push the boundaries of  what’s possible in digital security and privacy even further. This includes exploring new forms of  encryption, decentralized technologies, and AI-driven privacy solutions. The goal is to keep  Privaseverse ahead of the curve, continuously evolving to meet the ever-changing landscape of  cyber threats. 

4. Building a Privacy-First Internet: My ultimate vision for Privaseverse is to contribute to the  creation of an entirely new kind of internet one where privacy, security, and user control are at the  forefront. This means not just developing apps but also influencing how digital infrastructure is  built. I see Privaseverse playing a key role in the development of privacy-first standards and  protocols that could be adopted globally, creating a safer and more secure internet for everyone. 

5.User Empowerment and Education: Part of our growth strategy involves empowering our users  by educating them about privacy and security. In the next five years, I plan to launch initiatives  aimed at raising awareness about the importance of digital privacy and how users can protect  themselves online. This will include workshops, webinars, and partnerships with educational  institutions. By fostering a more informed user base, we’ll be able to drive even greater adoption of  our services.

6. Revenue Growth and Financial Sustainability: Financially, the goal is to scale our subscription  model, increasing our customer base while maintaining our commitment to zero ads and zero data  selling. We’re also exploring additional revenue streams, such as enterprise solutions to ensure  long-term sustainability. By focusing on delivering unmatched value to our users, I believe we can  achieve significant revenue growth while staying true to our core principles. 

7. Social Impact and Advocacy: Beyond business growth, I want Privaseverse to be a force for  good. In five years, I see us not only as a leader in the tech industry but also as an advocate for  digital rights and privacy laws. We’ll be actively involved in shaping policies and regulations that  protect user privacy on a global scale, working with governments and organizations to ensure that  the digital world becomes a safer place for everyone. 

Five years from now, I envision Privaseverse as the go-to platform for anyone who values their  privacy. We’ll have a diverse and loyal user base, a wide range of innovative products, and a global  impact that goes beyond just business success. We’ll be known not just as a company but as a  movement a movement toward a more secure, private, and trustworthy internet. 

Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? 

OmNamashivaya Biri:  If I had to give one piece of advice to someone just starting out, it would be this: Embrace failure  as a stepping stone to success. When you’re building something new, especially in the world of tech or entrepreneurship, failure is  inevitable. You’ll face setbacks, make mistakes, and sometimes feel like giving up. But those  moments of failure are where the real growth happens. They force you to rethink, to innovate, and  to become resilient.

I’ve experienced my fair share of failures from being betrayed by friends in my first startup to  shutting down projects I poured my heart into. But each time, I learned something invaluable that  helped me on the next leg of the journey. Those lessons are what led me to create Privaseverse, and  they’ve made me a better entrepreneur. 

So, go big and go deeper, but never go home. Don’t be afraid to take risks and push the boundaries  of what’s possible. Dive deep into your passion, commit fully to your vision, and even when things  get tough, keep moving forward. Success isn’t about avoiding failure it’s about persevering through  it and emerging stronger on the other side.
