In both cases, there are chances that you may not find the right attire to suit the occasion. And then your hunt begins.

There’s a saviour for you and that too for free. StyleCracker is India’s only personal styling platform.

Will this business survive?
Now comes the biggest question of the era that is haunting start ups quite often – will this business survive? A confident Shah said, “The biggest change in the industry has been the shift away from discounts and the ‘me too’ syndrome. There have been enough companies over the past few years that have launched with half-baked ideas or copies of other companies in the similar space. These companies have now disappeared and it gives the genuine players enough room to really solve deep consumer needs rather than engage in petty battles for consumer mindshare.”
Funding
StyleCracker has raised nearly $1mn in the past.
