Ayna

Based in Bengaluru, India, Ayna is a business-to-business software-as-a-service platform that provides generative artificial intelligence tools for creating virtual fashion models and product photoshoots. The company utilizes proprietary compound foundational and diffusion models to convert standard flat-lay or mannequin images into professional, studio-quality photographs without requiring physical human models or expensive traditional photography setups. The platform primarily serves global e-commerce apparel and furniture brands through tiered subscription plans, counting recognizable retail companies such as Reliance Retail’s Clovia and Wakefit among its growing customer base. To support its planned commercial expansion into the United States and European markets, the enterprise recently secured $1.5 million in a seed funding round led by Inflexor Ventures, with additional participation from Faad Network. Ayna was officially founded in the year 2023 by Aastha Rajpal and Yash Bansal.
