Tanmaya Sharma – Founder, Omniscient AI · The Metaverse Street Journal (MSJ News) · Tokenised News

Tanmaya Sharma is an entrepreneur and media technologist pioneering the next generation of AI‑powered, Web3‑native journalism. As the founder of Omniscient AI, The Metaverse Street Journal (MSJ News), and Tokenised News, he is building a trust‑layered news ecosystem that combines AI‑driven fact‑checking, on‑chain tokenisation, and community‑driven verification to combat misinformation and reshape how credibility is measured and rewarded in the digital public sphere.

Background and entrepreneurial journey
Tanmaya holds a BA in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship from Coventry University, followed by an MSc in Investment Management, giving him a strong foundation in both entrepreneurial thinking and financial systems. Before founding his current ventures, he worked in investment banking and financial analysis, where he developed a systems‑oriented mindset that now shapes how he designs data‑driven AI and blockchain products for media.

He later led a Facebook‑India‑funded fintech startup in India, where he gained hands‑on experience in product strategy, investor relations, and scaling technology platforms in emerging markets. This experience directly informed his later focus on building AI‑enabled fact‑checking and tokenised news infrastructure that can operate at scale across global newsrooms.

Omniscient AI – AI‑powered fact‑checking at scale
Through Omniscient AI, Tanmaya leads the creation of an advanced fact‑checking SaaS platform used by startups, governments, and even defence‑adjacent organisations to verify narratives, detect misinformation, and surface layered perspectives on complex stories. The platform operates as an “AI‑powered truth‑engine” inside newsrooms, enabling rapid decision‑making without replacing human editorial judgment.

Omniscient AI has been deployed in high‑stakes environments where narrative accuracy is critical, including policy‑adjacent research, public‑infrastructure reporting, and strategic communications, positioning Tanmaya at the forefront of AI‑driven media integrity.

The Metaverse Street Journal (MSJ News)
In 2022, Tanmaya founded The Metaverse Street Journal (MSJ News), the world’s first metaverse‑specific news media company, blending digital‑newspaper format with an online broadcasting setup focused on virtual worlds, NFTs, and Web3 innovation. MSJ quickly evolved into a global media partner for major blockchain and metaverse events, including high‑profile G20‑linked gaming and digital‑economy initiatives and leading Web3 conferences across Asia and Europe.

MSJ News has become a key platform for explaining complex Web3 and AI narratives to mainstream audiences, acting as a bridge between cutting‑edge builders in the metaverse and traditional media, policymakers, and investors.

Tokenised News – trustless, tokenised journalism
In 2026, Tanmaya launched Tokenised News, an open, trustless, Web3‑native news ecosystem that introduces “fact‑opinion scoring,” auditable on‑chain reputation, and community‑driven verification into journalism. The platform operates as an engage‑to‑earn protocol, rewarding publishers and readers when their actions—posting, fact‑checking, reacting, and sharing—increase verifiably truthful engagement, turning accuracy and nuance into tokenised incentives.

Tokenised News is designed to work both inside traditional newsrooms and as a standalone social news layer, where users can earn tokens for contributing evidence, flagging misinformation, and curating high‑quality coverage of breaking stories. By aligning economic incentives with epistemic quality, Tanmaya’s vision is to create a “trustless but trustworthy” news ecosystem for the age of AI and synthetic content.

AI Impact Summit, AI Media Conference, and institutional backing
Tanmaya has spoken at major events including the AI Impact Summit and the AI Media Conference, where he has presented the roadmap for Omniscient AI, MSJ News, and the Tokenised News app as part of a broader “verifiable news stack” for the AI era. At these events, he has engaged with policymakers, media executives, and investor communities to demonstrate how AI‑driven fact‑checking and tokenised news can be operationalised inside legacy and next‑gen news organisations.

His work has gained recognition from India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, which has supported MSJ News and related AI‑media initiatives as part of broader efforts to strengthen digital‑media infrastructure and combat misinformation. The portfolio has also received backing and engagement from the UK Government, including departments and agencies focused on innovation, digital economy, and open‑data governance, reflecting the cross‑border relevance of his media‑tech stack.

Vision and positioning
Tanmaya’s core mission is to rebuild news as a transparent, accountable, and incentive‑aligned public infrastructure rather than a centrally‑controlled attention‑economy game. By combining AI‑powered fact‑verification, on‑chain reputation, and community‑driven rewards, his ventures form a coherent, multi‑layered architecture for “trustless but trustworthy” journalism in the age of algorithms and synthetic content.

Through Omniscient AI, MSJ News, and Tokenised News, Tanmaya Sharma is shaping the future of how news is produced, verified, rewarded, and governed—positioning himself as one of the leading voices at the intersection of AI, Web3, and global media innovation.
