Stylz

Summary

Founded by Sai Kiran Vemuri in Hyderabad, Stylz is India’s first AI-powered personal styling platform designed to make professional fashion guidance inclusive and accessible. Combining data-driven insights with human creativity, Stylz delivers personalised recommendations tailored to each individual’s lifestyle, culture, and preferences.

History

The idea for Stylz was conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic when Sai Kiran Vemuri observed that people were struggling with self-assurance in their personal style. Recognising the gap in accessible, affordable personal styling, he set out to merge the precision of AI with expert fashion and styling knowledge. Stylz was born as a solution to help people dress confidently, no matter their budget or background.

“Stylz didn’t begin in a boardroom. It began with a question: Why is getting dressed so hard? I’ve always asked weird questions. Like why getting dressed can feel like such a chore. Or why style advice online never seems to get you. I studied Data Science at Monash University. Loved it. But somewhere between model training and café-hopping, I realised I was more obsessed with people than algorithms — with what it takes to actually feel seen,” says the founder on the official website. “Stylz started as a frustration. Then a scribble. Then a house-turned-office in Hyderabad and a very real decision to not take the easy route. I didn’t wait for perfect conditions. I never had corporate work experience. But I did have curiosity, a messy Google Sheet of outfit patterns, and a gut feeling that style could be solved smarter — with tech that listens.”

Incorporating a unique dataset of over ten million curated images, Stylz focuses on India’s rich cultural diversity and wide range of body types, skin tones, and regional styles. This diverse foundation allows Stylz to provide personalised recommendations, reflecting contemporary fashion, heritage textiles, regional fabrics, and modern silhouettes. The Stylist-in-Loop model ensures human effort and expertise guides every AI output, making it an inclusive styling experience.

Ahead of its public launch in December 2025, Stylz plans to expand to Tier-2 cities and collaborate with digital-first fashion brands to bring accessible styling to more users across India. “Our goal is to help people look and feel their best without guesswork,” said Sai Kiran Vemuri, Founder, Stylz. “We’ve built a platform that combines speed, precision, and cultural understanding, ensuring that technology enhances personal style rather than replacing it.”

Since its beta launch, Stylz has gained significant traction with over 10,000 users and a growing community of freelance stylists. Stylz also promotes ethical and sustainable fashion choices, encouraging capsule wardrobes, re-wear habits, and budget-conscious recommendations that reduce waste. All user data is encrypted and fully compliant with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act and GDPR standards.

Vision

Sai Kiran Vemuri, the founder of Stylz, envisioned a platform that would make personal styling accessible, personal and inclusive. Inspired by the challenges people face with self-expression, especially during times of uncertainty, he wanted to create a solution that empowered individuals to dress confidently without relying on expensive stylists. His vision was to use technology to bridge the gap between fashion expertise and everyday users.

The founder also believes in leveraging AI to enhance human creativity rather than replace it. Stylz is designed to bring together the best of both worlds: the precision and data-driven insights of AI combined with the artistry and cultural relevance provided by human stylists. In doing so, Stylz aims to democratise personal styling, ensuring everyone can access expert advice tailored to their unique needs.

Mission Statement

Stylz’s mission is to shape the way people approach personal styling by combining cutting-edge AI technology with professional fashion insights. The platform seeks to make styling accessible, inclusive, and affordable for all users, from fashion enthusiasts to those seeking to improve their personal style. Through its AI-driven recommendations, Stylz aims to remove the guesswork, providing users with outfits that not only suit their features but also make them feel confident and authentic.

Stylz also commits to promoting sustainability within the fashion industry by encouraging responsible fashion choices. With a focus on capsule wardrobes, re-wear habits, and budget-conscious suggestions, the platform supports users in making choices that are both stylish and ethical. Stylz’s vision of a more sustainable fashion future is reflected in its platform’s features, which help users make long-term, informed style decisions.
