An idea of Tailor Zone was plotted last year, when one small incident happened. I got a CALL from my college friend who was getting married and for which I bought some good formal cloths. But when I reach to my tailor he refuse to accept my order as he was overloaded with festive season and the same story was with few other local tailor aswell. Later on I discuss this incident with my friend and to my surprise, they all also had face a similar excuse and problem from their tailor. When we dig this topic further, we realize that females were facing more problem with their tailor. We did some more research and found that the Tailoring Industry was most unorganized and we though that may be by making few corrections, we can organize it upto some level. This gave rise to TailorZone.

Be the Change you want to see and when you start changing, you will find the all building bricks start sitting at the correct places for you.

At the initial level trying to convince tailors and boutique shops to work on an online tailoring concept was very difficult. All of them were happy with their traditional way of doing business and none of them were interested in accepting the online business model. So I think at the initial level trying to convince tailors to work on Online Business Model was the real challenge for us. But later on after few discussions we manage to convince them to work on this model.

Very first we did a small survey with end customers to identify what all major and common difficulties that they face with their regular tailors. Then we created a process about how the online tailoring concept can address those issues. This information, we collected and share it with Tailors and Boutique shop to convince them to work on this Online Tailoring Concept.
