What happens when curiosity, risk-taking, and a refusal to follow the expected path collide? We sit down with Vidyuth Srinivasan, CEO of Entrupy, to explore his journey from India to New York, from journalism to entrepreneurship, and from outsider to innovator. Vidyuth shares how embracing his identity, thinking independently, and challenging conventional systems helped shape Entrupy—a company built to solve one of fashion’s biggest problems: trust. From navigating cultural identity to developing authentication technology that fights counterfeiting, this conversation reveals how randomness, data, and conviction can transform industries.

Key Takeaways:
 • Authenticity starts with trust — Technology can scale transparency where doubt exists.
 • Risk fuels innovation — Nontraditional paths often create the biggest breakthroughs.
 • Identity is an asset — Staying true to yourself can become a competitive advantage.
