Artificial Intelligence Powers Next-Gen Fashion at Myntra



·         Smart Bot ‘Artie’significantly shortens Concept-to-Production Cycle for Fashion
·         Introduces new products under the brand ‘ModaRapido’

Bangalore, October 1, 2015: Changing the way fashion trend forecasting will be managed, Myntra has introduced a revolutionary concept that leverages Artificial Intelligence and big data analytics to significantly shorten the fashion production life cycle. ‘Artie’, an indigenously developed smart bot, gathers consumer insights to create a range of on-trend, fast fashion apparel under the ‘ModaRapido’ brand.
The AI platform was developed with the objective of leveraging technology to develop a better understanding of consumer interest/ likesand shorten fashion life cycles. The smart bot, created by a team of 25 Myntra technologists and fashion experts over the past eight months, gathers all fashion-related information in real time and uses it as a base to determine trends and forecast demand.
The complex yet seamless process shortens the design to production cycle from about 6 months in the traditional practice, to only 3 weeks. This significant reduction will benefit brands, by reducing inventory and enabling time-to-market collections as apparelbrands need to spend little time designing products.This platform is therefore intended to disrupt the conventional method of forecasting fashion,based on expert opinion.
According to Gautam Kotamraju, SVP, New Initiatives, Myntra, “In all the pre-pilot studies we have conducted, this technology has mirrored what people want in terms of their style in real-time. What Artie does is, it allows us to offer trendy apparel synonymous with the current style that is prevalent on the fashion streets. We have put together a nimble supply chain which allows us to produce real time fashion and bring it to our customers in under21 days. So, no longer doesone have to look into a crystal ball for fashion which is at least six months away from the current fashion.”
ModaRapidocurrently offers a collection of tees, jeans and sweatshirts for men and jeans for women. A new Fall/Winter collection has been launched and is available on the Myntra app.The product line will be extended to other categories in the coming months.
