The problem with rabbit-holes is, well, they house rabbits or rats or fossils. And it is never easy to navigate a warren. So why have we endured the complexity, obscurity and incorrigibility of closed pipes and elusive tunnels in some industries? For so long!! Where’s the light here? Why has no one used some tough and tenacious, but, crystal-clear glass instead of copper, opacity and iron all this while?
Turns out, Blockchain could be that glass we have been looking for - glass that is transparent but also ‘not brittle’ and ‘not so fragile’. What makes it shine? Especially in green shades? And what keeps it under the bubble wrap in some places? Let’s follow this pipe.
FROM RUBBER TO COTTON TO PAPER- GLASS IS NOW MORE THAN A VASE
Recently, we saw how India is trying to promote Kasturi cotton as a premium brand from India. As seen at the meeting where the Ministry of Textiles, the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI), Texprocil and textile industry pushed for Kasturi cotton at the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) - unlocking various standards to global representatives. It will be a blockchain-enabled cotton that will help in traceability. Just by scanning a QR code of the product, a consumer can trace the supply chain right until ginning and spinning. And as envisaged, when the framework evolves, the system would be able to provide more details of the complete supply chain.
If you take an ecosystem approach and combine blockchain with IoTor IIoT, you can drive even greater transparency into supply chain management.

The T in RealTy
Hyper-personalised home buying and renting experiences? E-tours? E-signatures? Digital bookings? Why? How? Technology cannot be used as a varnish when one faces old plastered walls like unorganised agents, lack of ecosystem tech-literacy, fragmentation, complex regulation, balancing hyper-personalisation with anonymisation and still ushering customers towards virtual tours, AR, VR, AI magic and personal touch.
