Kalyan Chakravarthi (COO & CCO – Threads & Needles) says that the application intents to provide a marketplace that is user friendly and ensures easy payment terms and delivery options. The designs provided by the customers are priced by a bidding process by the designers and the best quote can be chosen by the customer. This is an innovative step that helps every designer make a successful business with Threads & Needles. We aim at targeting 1 million fashion customers at the end of 2017.

Threads & Needles has both android and IOS apps for fashion customers and fashion designers. Think of an app where a customer uploads an outfit of their choice, while the designers bid for the price and the customer chooses the best price and confirms an order which is then shipped to any place on the globe. “The next update aims at providing a more interactive and virtually appealing application.” says Shabbeer Hussain.S (CTO – Threads & Needles) who is a software engineer and the senior of the lot.

“Our market is not confined to India alone we aim at making our business global and I am here to help my mate meet targets” says Vinay Penikalapati (CTO & International Marketing Head)
