## Summary

Soumya Das, CEO of Inpixon, discusses how the company applies indoor intelligence and the concept of the metaverse to enterprise environments. He explains that Inpixon combines mapping, positioning, and analytics to create digital twins and immersive 3D experiences for Global 3000 companies in manufacturing, warehousing, and office management. Das identifies key enabling technologies including AR displays, 5G connectivity, and IoT data integration as critical for moving beyond 2D maps to actionable, location-aware insights. He emphasizes that businesses should focus on specific efficiency use cases like wayfinding and desk booking rather than chasing the abstract 'metaverse' label.
