Muraly Srinarayanathas has a rich multicultural background, beginning with his birth to Sri Lankan parents studying in the UK and continuing through a childhood marked by moves between Sri Lanka, Canada, and India.
These experiences instilled a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and adaptability, which became core aspects of his identity.
In Canada, he was profoundly influenced by the multicultural ethos, particularly through events like Winnipeg’s Folklorama, which showcased the country’s commitment to celebrating diverse heritages.
This foundation of multiculturalism later influenced his professional interest in blockchain technology as a means to address systemic issues like land ownership in South Asia and to improve global credential recognition and education systems.
He touches on personal reflections, including the significant impact of his father’s mentorship and the current challenges of caring for him, underscoring the importance of family, time, and the desire to make a meaningful contribution to the world
