Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 16: Even today, many homes in India have women who know stitching, alteration, embroidery, blouse fitting and boutique-style work very well. They may have learned the skill from family, years of practice or personal experience, but many of them never get the chance to turn that skill into a proper business. Opening a boutique needs money, space, staff, rent, setup and daily management. For many home-based women, this is not easy.
At the same time, these women are already doing good work from home. They stitch suits for neighbours, do blouse fittings for relatives, alter clothes for known customers and sometimes even handle wedding season orders quietly through word-of-mouth. But outside their small circle, very few people know about them.
This is one of the biggest gaps Tailorix is trying to solve.
Tailorix is an open connecting platform created to give local tailors, home-based women tailors, boutique owners and karigars a digital presence. The platform does not give orders by itself and does not promise fixed orders. Instead, it gives tailors an online space where they can show their work, mention their services, share their location and allow customers to contact them directly.
In simple words, Tailorix works like an online dukaan for tailoring services.
Customers who need a tailor can explore profiles, check work photos, compare nearby options and directly connect with the tailor according to their requirement. Tailors and customers talk to each other directly. Tailorix does not take commission on orders, keeping the model simple and transparent for local service providers.
The idea behind Tailorix came from the real ground problem of India’s tailoring market. In many cities and towns, customers still struggle to find the right tailor at the right time. During wedding and festive seasons, this problem becomes even bigger. People need blouse stitching, lehenga fitting, suit designing, saree alteration, embroidery work and urgent measurements, but finding a trusted tailor nearby is still dependent on references, market visits or last-minute search.
On the other side, there are many skilled tailors sitting in small shops, local markets or working from home, waiting for customers to discover them. Their work may be good, but without visibility, their business remains limited. Tailorix is built to bridge this exact gap.
The startup was founded in June 2025 by Deepak Sharma, with Saloni Sachdeva later joining as Co-founder. Deepak Sharma, Founder & CEO of Tailorix, focuses on platform growth, operations and business development, while Saloni Sachdeva, Co-founder & Brands Head, brings her understanding of design, customer communication and brand building to the platform.
Before shaping Tailorix into an app, the team first understood the market closely. They interacted with local tailors, spoke to home-based women, observed customer behaviour and tested the concept through a website experience. This helped them realise that most local tailors did not need a complicated business tool. They needed something simple: a profile, photos, service details, location visibility and direct customer contact.
That learning became the base of Tailorix.
For home-based women tailors, the platform creates a chance to be visible without opening a shop. For local tailors and boutique workers, it creates a digital profile beyond their physical location. For customers, it reduces the old habit of going market to market without knowing the quality of work.
Tailorix also keeps its model clear. It is not an order guarantee app. Orders depend on customer demand, pricing, location, profile quality, services and work photos. The platform’s role is to connect both sides and make discovery easier. Once a customer contacts a tailor, the order discussion happens directly between them.
With its 0% commission approach, Tailorix wants to make online discovery practical for small local businesses. A tailor should not feel that every order will reduce their earning through platform commission. Instead, the focus is on giving visibility and helping customers find the right service provider.
Tailorix is not trying to replace traditional tailoring. It is trying to give traditional skill a modern digital identity. From ghar baithi women tailors to local shop-based masters, the platform is creating a space where tailoring work can be seen, trusted and discovered online.
