More about Susmitha Lakkakula

Founder at CloudTailor - Personalized Fashion with Social Styling

An entrepreneur at heart and a technology buff by career, I have learnt my most intensive lessons by observing 'Business and Customer' interactions. Backed by my belief in engaging customer toolkits, I am building 'Cloud Tailor' as the go-to app for personalized fashion. There is a huge gap in the market for organized and interactive interfaces for fashion design, fashion styling, online personalized orders and fulfilment. 'Social Styling' is the ground for 'Cloud Tailor'. 'Cloud Tailor' selects the best outfits for your occasion and location and you can place the order with your measurements in 3 easy steps on our app. We will then 'Style - Stitch - Ship' it to you from our company owned fashion fulfilment centers in multiple cities in India. We have our app development center in Hyderabad, India.

I have learnt from my 18+ years of intensive Software Management and Testing (Planning, Review, Tracking, JIRA, Coordination) experience across multiple companies - HP UFT11.5 (QTP) and HP ALM (QC) trained - Client facing experience in US - Experience in multiple ODC Accounts in Wipro and Quantum.

I have been a founding member of my earlier startups in Product marketing, Content Production studio among many others.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
