Acquisition to advance Reliance Retail's AI-first strategy for personalised shopping and discovery

BENGALURU, India, Aug. 5, 2026 -- Furrl, a Bengaluru-based AI-powered styling, cataloguing and fashion discovery platform founded by Esha Tiwary, today confirmed that its technology - including its AI Styling Engine and commerce app - has been acquired by Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL). The acquisition forms part of Reliance Retail's broader strategy to embed artificial intelligence across its consumer businesses and deliver more personalised, intuitive shopping experiences.

Furrl's technology transforms fashion catalogues into fully styled outfit recommendations based on individual consumer preferences, helping shoppers discover products in a more contextual and intuitive way. Following the acquisition, the technology is expected to strengthen Reliance Retail's AI-driven discovery and personalisation capabilities across its digital and omni-channel platforms.

Founded in 2022, Furrl set out to solve fashion discovery given rapidly changing consumer preferences – starting with a catalogue focused on D2C fashion brands, and subsequently developing an AI Styling Engine to help shoppers go from browsing endless catalogues to seeing complete outfits styled specifically for them. Over the past four years, the company scaled its platform across more than 50,000 products from 200+ fashion and lifestyle brands, building deep technical capability in catalogue intelligence, personalisation and outfit-level recommendation.

Commenting on the development, Esha Tiwary, Founder of Furrl, said, "We built Furrl with one conviction: that fashion discovery is broken and AI can fundamentally change that. This acquisition enables our technology to reach millions of customers with Reliance Retail's scale, and is a powerful validation of what our team built."

About Furrl:

Furrl (operated by Kleosa Retail Private Limited) is a Bengaluru-based AI-powered styling, cataloguing and fashion discovery platform founded by Esha Tiwary in 2022. The company built an AI Styling Engine that converted product catalogues into personalised, styled outfit recommendations, alongside a consumer-facing commerce app for D2C fashion brands, scaling to over 50,000 products across 200+ brands. In 2026, Furrl's technology and IP were acquired by Reliance Retail Ventures Limited.

Cision Report Warns Brands Are Falling Into Costly 'Data Fragmentation Trap'

New analysis shows how disconnected search, social, and AI signals create blind spots, delay decisions, and escalate risks CHICAGO , Aug. 5, 2026 -- Cision, a global leader in consumer and media intelligence, today released The Data Fragmentation Trap: Why More Data Isn t Helping Brands See Clearly , a new report examining why brands struggle to turn high volumes of data into meaningful business intelligence. As AI transforms how information is created, discovered, and consumed, organizations are gathering more signals than ever, from search engines and social media to news coverage and AI-generated answers. Yet, many organizations fall into a data fragmentation trap, still relying on an old, channel-by-channel model based on gathering signals separately. This approach can be costly for organizations. It creates critical blind spots, slows decision making, and limits their ability to understand and influence brand perception.
