"Give your 200 % if you want to chase your Dream and never say never."

Kamal Gulati did his Master’s degree in Insurance and Risk Management from Birla Institute of Management Technology. Later, he pursued Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Innovative Institute. It was while observing Zomato, that Kamal wondered how the company reached heights by providing the pictures and menu of the food. He felt spa and gym industry lacked this approach, so he conceptualized The Makeoverz.

The Makeoverz is an online directory for the Salons, Spas and Gyms in Delhi NCR. It give customers a chance to know some very essential but basic information about Salons, Spas, and more. It also allow people to express their views and provide ratings, so that their experience is pleasant from the very first step to the last.

Please provide a brief overview of your product/ service.

The Makeoverz is an online directory to the Salons, Spas, Makeup Artists, Skin Centres, Gyms, Fitness Studios and Personal Trainers & Dieticians in Delhi NCR. We have also started selling offers for Salons, Spa & Makeup and will start likewise from other categories soon. Our biggest USP is that we customise deals on the basis of our user’s requirements. No other website has this feature. We have a chat plugin where we interact with our users directly and based on their requirements provide them the best deal. For instance if a user doesn’t require a specific service given in the deal then we will modify the deal so that the user doesn’t have to pay the money for the service he/she doesn’t need. We provide all Information, Actual Pictures, Rate Lists and Offers. We have more than 2200 Vendors Listed on our Website.

What inspired you to build the above product/ service?

It was about November 2013, when I thought about Zomato and its success. How the company reached the heights by providing the pictures and menu of the food around us. Beauty & Fitness was the industry which lacked information. So it just struck me that how convenient it would be for people if somebody could just provide the information like Rate List & Pictures about Salon, Spa & Gym. I talked to some friends and they told me that a portal like this should exist. So, I visited a couple of salons and told them about the idea where everyone could get all the information with just a click. They got excited and told me that they want to get featured. That research was enough for me to work on it
