The platform allows users to browse sarees, select styles and book an assisted shopping session through the app. A Pinit vehicle then delivers the selected collection along with a trained stylist, who creates an in-home showroom using a mirror and lighting.
Customers can view, touch, drape and compare the sarees before making a purchase, combining the convenience of digital ordering with the physical evaluation typically associated with store-based shopping.

Pinit’s sarees are priced between approximately Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 20,000 and include handlooms, regional weaves and designer collections for everyday wear, festive occasions and weddings. The company fulfils orders through location-based fulfilment points, enabling it to dispatch collections from nearby hubs.
The company has a team of more than 150 employees and sources sarees directly from weavers and weaving clusters. It also operates an electric-vehicle delivery fleet.
Pinit was founded by saree entrepreneur Sangeetha Rajesh, who has 16 years of experience in the saree and textile industry. Rajesh is also the founder of Sangeetha’s Saree Emporium and pioneered Facebook Live-based saree sales in 2015.
Her saree business has sold more than one million sarees, built a social media following of more than eight lakh and organised over 190 exhibitions. It operates a 5,000 sq. ft. emporium in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, with more than 15,000 sarees, including Kalamkari and other regional weaves.
Sangeetha said Pinit was created to digitise saree discovery and ordering without removing the physical experience that remains central to the category.
“Every saree carries a weaver’s skill. Pinit takes that skill to the doorstep, creates dignified jobs for women, and does it without polluting our cities. This is business with a purpose,” she said.
Pinit differentiates itself from conventional online saree platforms by combining app-based discovery, 45-minute fulfilment and stylist-assisted, in-home shopping. The model is designed to bring the selection and service of a physical saree store to the customer’s home while offering the speed and convenience of quick commerce.
