Seven visual search startups training sights on fashion e-commerce

Saw a pretty dress on Pinterest or Instagram but have no idea where to get it? In that case, visual search startups can come to your rescue.

Visual search is the next big thing in the fashion e-commerce space with more and more e-tailers introducing visual or image search on their platform.

For example, Flipkart is using a visual search feature from Singapore-based startup Visenze for its fashion category. Similarly, Snapdeal's visual search tool, FindMyStyle.in, makes product discovery easier for shoppers.
