“Every outfit has a story, and every day is a chance to write a new chapter, whether it's in code or in couture.”

Rageshwari Butt grew up in a middle-class family in Bangalore, where her parents instilled in her a strong work ethic and a value for education. From a young age, she displayed a keen aptitude for logic and problem-solving, which naturally led her to pursue computer science. She excelled in her Bachelor's degree program, consistently ranking among the top students. Upon graduation, she secured a position at a reputable tech firm, where she has steadily climbed the ranks over the past five years, earning a comfortable income that allows her to support her family and pursue personal interests. Her current role as a software engineer is intellectually stimulating, but Rageshwari has always harbored a creative streak. This led her to explore content creation as a side hustle, initially focusing on tech reviews and tutorials. However, her personal interest in fashion and styling soon became a significant part of her online persona. She meticulously documents her wardrobe using Google Photos, creating a digital catalog that aids her in planning outfits. This organizational habit extends to her personal life; she maintains a detailed spreadsheet that cross-references her clothing items with weather forecasts and upcoming social or professional events, ensuring she's always appropriately dressed. This dual life as a pragmatic engineer and a budding fashion influencer requires significant time management and a constant drive for efficiency. She recently decided to focus her creator efforts more on styling advice for busy professionals, leveraging her own experiences. Her income of INR 22L allows for a comfortable lifestyle, but she remains disciplined with her finances, prioritizing savings for future investments and major life goals like home ownership. She views her time as a valuable commodity, constantly seeking ways to optimize her routines and maximize her productivity across both her professional and personal endeavors.

  1. What would stop you from trying aesty (https://aesty.ai/) this month? Be specific about how you handle this today. Also say the maximum you would pay per month in USD (0 if nothing).

    The main thing stopping me is the time it would take to actually upload my entire wardrobe. Right now, I use Google Photos for inspiration and a spreadsheet to track outfits against weather and events, which works well enough for my needs. I'm always trying to optimize, but adding another system feels like a big undertaking. If it could seamlessly integrate with my existing photos or had an easy bulk upload, that would be different. I'm not sure I'd pay for it right now, but if it was incredibly intuitive and saved me significant planning time, maybe $5 per month.
