Why Blockchain and Fashion?
Rakesh Ramachandran and Peter Jeun Ho Tsang unravel the complexities of blockchain technology and its potential pivotal role in the fashion industry. They reflect on the anticipated shifts towards decentralisation and automation in fashion production, in which Rakesh believes that blockchain brings promise of a transparent and sustainable fashion ecosystem. With his startup QBrics, Rakesh helps listeners understand what is blockchain, how his low-code platform enables better digital workflows, and the ways the technology can be applied to fashion.
Fashion's Truth Engine
Featured in chapter 3 of the book, Fashion Tech Applied, Rakesh makes a case for blockchain platforms functioning as a 'truth engine' that ensures data integrity and trust. Hear Rakesh's analogy of a garment's life akin to revealing the 'karma' of clothing, and discuss how this emerging tech equips consumers with the power to make ethical and sustainable choices. However, this is not without challenges from larger fashion corporations and the like.
