And so we had this like, sit down with me and he was like, ‘you want to do this? Like, you don't need any of that like school stuff and whatever. Like I'll give you a sabbatical. Like you go figure this out. Like you're ready to do it. You don't need somebody's, like, stamp of approval.'” - Ambika Singh “But I do take a lot of, kind of, like, comfort in the fact that I, most of the time show up and do my best. And so when I don't do my best, that is really a painful and hard loop to talk myself out of. So most of the time, I do my best.” - Ambika Singh Connect with Ambika Singh: Armoire.style Armoire on Instagram Ambika on Instagram If you're looking to take your business to the next level: Join our Entreprenista League community of women founders!

Ambika Singh is the Founder and CEO of Armoire, a clothing rental membership company built for working women. She has worked across small and large organizations with roles in marketing, business development, product management, SEO, and social media. Additionally, she played a significant role in the creation of internet startups Rover.com and TravelPost.com as well as Internet Explorer 8 and Windows 7 for Microsoft.

In this episode... Are you a woman that doesn't have time to endlessly scroll through retailers trying to be stylish? Where can you get the help you deserve to revolutionize the way you dress?  Women deserve to invest in themselves. As much as they invest in their careers, they should also invest in how they look to raise their self-esteem. According to Ambika Singh, a modern woman is a busy, social, and stylish person. She decided to make women's lives easier by making an algorithm that delivers personalized clothing recommendations based on style and fit preferences. Ambika now shares her journey running a fashion company for the modern bosslady. In this episode of Reclaim Your Career, Jess Galica is joined by Ambika Singh, Founder and CEO of Armoire, to discuss how women can invest in themselves through fashion. Ambika shares her background in founding Armoire, what Chief Bosslady means, how Armoire positively impacts its customers' lives, and how she overcomes challenges.

Armoire CEO and founder Ambika Singh and her team built a women's clothing subscription service with their "bosslady" members in mind, providing an on-demand wardrobe of apparel primarily for work and events. Two years ago, the Seattle-based startup was on a roll, posting a record month in February 2020 after growing nearly 400% in 2019. But then came the pandemic. Armoire's members no longer needed to dress up for the office or to go out. So close the door on Armoire, right? Not so fast. Ambika Singh talks with GeekWire's John Cook and Todd Bishop about Armoire's survival story, how the startup's underlying business works, competition with Rent the Runway and others, its return to the office, and what's next in its startup journey.

Ambika Singh is revolutionizing the way women dress. As a woman in the tech industry – known for its casual dress code – Ambika didn’t place much importance on her personal style. When she made a career shift that demanded a more polished appearance, her opinion quickly changed. And she discovered that feeling confident wasn’t as simple as throwing on a jacket. Now, Ambika makes women’s lives a bit easier with her high-tech, high-touch company, Armoire, which offers a true “wardrobe as service” experience.

Ambika Singh is the Founder and CEO of Armoire, a high-end clothing rental service that’s evolving the way women shop and dress. The idea was born during her time getting an MBA at MIT and the company launched in 2016 after she spent time at impressive companies like Microsoft, The Boston Consulting Group and Rover. Ambika shares her thoughts on mentors, molding your definition of success as you progress in your career and the importance of family. She’s been recognized on the 40 Under 40 List and is extraordinarily humble and relatable. Listen to her discuss what it’s like to build a company from the ground up and how she’s continuing to learn and iterate as the company plans to 10X in the next 12 months.
