A blinking cursor on a fresh blank page can be intimidating even for someone who's written thousands of lines of code.
But this space begins with a single question:
What if fashion didn’t have to cost the planet or lose its soul?
Hi, I’m Neha — a technologist by training, a dreamer by default, and now the founder of Darzy.ai.
Darzy was born at the intersection of my Indian heritage and 20+ years in technology.
It started with a personal problem: an overflowing closet, a love for unique designs, and a longing to make rewearing feel as desirable as buying something new.
That problem led to bigger questions:
🧵 Can AI help us preserve the soul of craftsmanship while scaling circular fashion?
🌍 Can we make upcycling easy, joyful, and personalized for everyone, not just the fashion elite?
Darzy is my attempt to answer those questions.
And this Substack?
It’s where I’ll share the raw, unpolished journey of building it, the wins, the failures, and the messy, beautiful middle.
This isn’t just a newsletter.
It’s a journal. A lab. A studio. A late-night voice note.
For anyone building at the messy intersection of tech, sustainability, heritage and self-expression.
Whether you’re a fellow founder, an artisan, a fashion nerd, or someone just tired of fast fashion’s emptiness, this space is for you.
I’m inviting you not just to follow my journey, but to shape this one with your own.
You’ll see posts on:
📓 Founder Journal Entries: My journal entries, in the form of stories of building Darzy
🧠 Tech x Tradition: Ideas, explorations, and rants on AI, personalization, and fashion futures
♻️ Sustainability in Practice: Real-world attempts at circular design, and what we’re learning
✨ Creator Spotlights: Featuring the human designers, tailors, our team, and creatives shaping this world with us
Posting rhythm: Once a week (mostly), sometimes more if inspiration strikes or chaos calls.
I’m not promising polished perfection here, just truth, curiosity, and a vision worth chasing.
