How did Glamate start in 2021?
After completing her Master’s in the US, Sharmila Gayathri has started working for United Health Care, but she always thought of Job isn’t her cup of tea and always wanted to do something on her own.
When MS.Gayathri was in the US, she has a severe acne problem hence used many skincare products on a trial & error basis to find out the desired routine, Once she moved back to India she had faced the same problem.
So here she thought of why can’t we use the technology of AI and ML in picking up the right beauty products for one skin, she started working on the idea for 8 months, finally, Glamate has registered in the month of May 2021.
