Zyod Raises $18 Million To Revolutionizing Fashion Manufacturing With Tech-Enabled Solutions
Zyod, a startup based in Gurugram, is revolutionising the fashion industry with its cutting-edge technology platform that expedites the complete design-to-delivery process for international fashion brands. Zyod recently raised $18 million in a Series A investment round to support its goals for international expansion, which it intends to pursue in more than 40 nations.
Empowering Factories, Optimizing Production
Zyod’s core offering is an ERP (enterprise resource planning) software solution designed specifically for fashion manufacturing. This “brain of manufacturing,” as Zyod co-founder Ankit Jaipuria terms it, empowers Indian factories by:
Optimizing production capacity: Zyod tackles the challenge of underutilized capacity in Indian factories (over 80% have utilization below 33%). Their platform intelligently assigns production tasks, maximizing efficiency.
Streamlined production processes: Zyod eliminates the reliance on paper-based or WhatsApp communication, replacing it with a daily production reporting system for clear action plans.
Material and pattern optimization: The platform provides factories with precise instructions on materials, cutting patterns, and stitching methods to ensure quality and minimize waste.
Building a Global Fashion Network
Since its founding in early 2023, Zyod has experienced impressive growth:
Customer Acquisition: Over 550 customers across 18 countries, including major brands like Reliance Industries and Aditya Birla (India), Urban Research (Japan), Anthropologie (USA), NEXT and Boohoo (UK), and VAN-DOS (Spain).
Mobile App Launch: In January 2024, Zyod launched a mobile app for iOS and Android, catering to long-tail customers and offering order tracking for enterprise clients. Future updates include order approval and live chat functionalities.
