Peak XV Leads $15.3M Series A in Zilo’s Fashion Tech Revolution
Zilo, the Bengaluru-based fashion tech startup powering AI-driven apparel design and supply chain automation, has raised $15.3 million in a Series A round led by Peak XV Partners to dominate India’s $100 billion textiles ecosystem.
Generative AI Transforms Couture to Commerce
Founded by NIFT alumni engineers, Zilo replaces manual sketching and sampling with multimodal AI generating hyper-realistic garment renders from text prompts, predicting trend lifecycles, and optimizing deadstock fabric utilization for brands like Aditya Birla Fashion and Raymond. Their platform cuts design-to-delivery from 90 days to 14 while slashing material waste 40%, powering 500+ SME manufacturers serving Zara and H&M fast-fashion pipelines.
Capital Fuels Global Supply Chain Dominance
Peak XV’s investment accelerates US/Europe go-to-market for Indian exporters, virtual fitting room APIs, and blockchain provenance tracking. The round targets the $20 billion digital fashion stack where generative design crushes physical prototyping costs.
Zilo proves AI unlocks India’s textile superpower status. $15.3 million scales the platform generating 1 million virtual collections annually, turning Surat powerlooms into global trend engines from catwalk algorithms to billion-thread wardrobes.
