Booking a cab takes a few taps. Ordering food happens in minutes. Beauty appointments, home cleaning and household services have become increasingly accessible through digital platforms.

But what happens when someone needs a professional photographer for a portrait, a birthday celebration, a product shoot or an urgent content-creation assignment?

For many customers, the process still begins with recommendations, Instagram searches, phone calls, availability checks and lengthy pricing negotiations.

Ahmedabad-based technology startup KliqShot wants to simplify that experience.

Developed by Ninez IT-Tech Solutions Private Limited, KliqShot is a technology-enabled photography and videography booking marketplace connecting customers with verified photographers, videographers, drone operators and other creative professionals.

Its ambition is simple but significant: make booking a professional photographer as convenient and transparent as booking a cab.

With its web and mobile platforms launched in 2026, KliqShot is now seeking seed funding to support its next phase of technology development, market expansion and customer acquisition.

The Idea: Why Should Booking a Photographer Still Be So Complicated?

India's digital services ecosystem has transformed everyday consumer behaviour.

Technology platforms have made transportation, food delivery, online shopping and many household services easier to discover, compare and book.

Professional photography, however, remains a market where customers frequently depend on personal references, unstructured inquiries and manual coordination.

Recognizing this gap, Ranjit Singh, Founder and Managing Director of Ninez IT-Tech Solutions Private Limited, began exploring how technology could modernize the photography booking experience.

According to the company's account of its development journey, the idea emerged in 2025 following market research and engagement with photography professionals to better understand the operational challenges of the industry.

The research highlighted difficulties on both sides of the market.

Customers faced uncertainty over professional credibility, portfolio quality, pricing, availability, service inclusions and booking confirmations.

Photographers, meanwhile, struggled with inconsistent inquiries, limited digital visibility, manual customer coordination, scheduling complexities and unpredictable business opportunities.

The opportunity was not simply to create another photographer directory.

It was to build a marketplace where customers could discover, compare, customize and book creative professionals through one connected digital experience.

That thinking became the foundation of KliqShot.

Beyond Weddings: Photography Is Becoming an Everyday Digital-Content Need

Professional photography is no longer limited to weddings and major celebrations.

India's growing creator economy, digital commerce ecosystem and social-media culture are creating new photography and videography requirements across personal and business activities.

Consider the range of potential customers:

A college graduate preparing a professional portfolio.

An aspiring actor requiring a headshot.

An influencer creating Instagram reels.

A couple planning a pre-wedding shoot.

A family celebrating a birthday or anniversary.

A restaurant launching a new menu.

A beauty brand requiring detailed product photography.

An e-commerce seller preparing product listings.

A startup creating content for its next marketing campaign.

A company arranging coverage for a corporate event.

Each represents a different use case for professional visual-content services.

While individual customers may book occasionally, the broader economy creates demand across different categories, locations and seasons.

This is the opportunity KliqShot is targeting: moving photography booking beyond a wedding-centric experience into a more accessible, everyday creative-services marketplace.

How KliqShot Works: Search, Compare, Customize and Book

KliqShot brings the photography booking journey onto a unified digital platform.

Customers can visit www.kliqshot.com or access the KliqShot mobile application to search for professionals based on the photography service, city and required date.

The booking journey is designed around five steps:

1. Discover: Search verified photographers, videographers and drone operators for the required occasion or assignment.

2. Compare: Explore professional portfolios, experience, services, reviews where available, and package prices before making a decision.

3. Customize: Select a fixed package or create an à-la-carte package based on required professionals, coverage hours and eligible add-ons.

4. Check Availability: View real-time professional calendars to identify bookable dates and time slots.

5. Book Online: Complete the booking process through the platform, subject to professional availability and applicable booking terms.

From a short portrait session to a multi-day wedding assignment, the platform is designed to accommodate different photography requirements and budgets.

For urgent requirements, customers can explore the availability of suitable professionals without individually contacting multiple providers.

The cab-booking comparison refers to the simplicity of digital discovery and reservation, rather than guaranteeing immediate physical arrival.

KliqSmart: Technology That Makes Package Pricing More Flexible

Photography pricing can become particularly complex when customers need multiple professionals, extended coverage or different creative services within one assignment.

A conventional wedding package, for example, may include a traditional photographer, candid photographer, videographer, cinematographer and drone operator.

KliqShot has developed KliqSmart, its proprietary smart pricing engine, to make such configurations easier to understand and evaluate.

The engine is designed to support pricing calculations that consider booking duration, team composition, eligible discounts and selected services.

This allows customers to explore structured package options instead of relying solely on individual quotations.

For professionals, standardized package configuration can simplify communication around inclusions, pricing and expected deliverables.

KliqSmart represents an important part of KliqShot's technology-led differentiation: combining customer flexibility with more transparent pricing.

KliqAI: Bringing AI Assistance Into the Booking Journey

KliqShot also integrates KliqAI, an AI-powered customer assistant designed to improve navigation and booking support across the platform.

KliqAI helps customers find information about available services, understand package details, navigate booking processes and resolve common questions related to payments and platform policies.

Its purpose is to make the booking experience more intuitive, particularly for customers unfamiliar with photography terminology or package configurations.

By supporting customer inquiries through automation, KliqAI also creates opportunities for more efficient customer assistance as the platform scales.

Together, KliqSmart and KliqAI demonstrate KliqShot's focus on using technology to reduce booking friction and improve customer experience.

KliqChamp: Turning Photography Skills Into Business Opportunities

While KliqShot focuses on simplifying customer bookings, its professional ecosystem, KliqChamp, addresses the other side of the marketplace.

KliqChamp provides photographers, videographers, drone operators and studios with a dedicated digital platform to showcase their work and manage their professional presence.

Creative professionals can build service profiles, upload portfolios, configure offerings, manage availability and participate in booking opportunities.

For talented professionals who may not have the resources to build independent websites, invest heavily in advertising or establish large sales networks, a marketplace can provide additional visibility and customer access.

KliqShot aims to empower these professionals with digital tools while enabling them to focus more on their creative work.

This creates a two-sided ecosystem in which customers benefit from professional choice while photographers gain another channel for business development.

India's Photography Market: A Significant Digital Opportunity

The opportunity KliqShot is pursuing extends into a sizeable and fragmented industry.

According to a photography services market study published by Custom Market Insights, India's photography services market was estimated at approximately US$6.79 billion in 2024, with the report projecting the market to reach US$13.7 billion by 2033, representing an estimated annual growth rate of 8.1%.

The research points to an industry opportunity around the ₹60,000-crore scale, although market valuations differ across research providers depending on which photography services and businesses they include.

Several demand drivers are contributing to the industry's development, including weddings and celebrations, social-media content creation, e-commerce product photography, corporate marketing and specialized photography services.

For KliqShot, the strategic opportunity is to digitize a portion of this transaction activity through a platform connecting fragmented professional supply with consumers and businesses.

Unlike a conventional photography studio, KliqShot operates as a technology-enabled intermediary, allowing independent professionals to deliver services while the marketplace facilitates discovery and booking.

The company's revenue approach includes transaction-based commissions, with additional monetization possibilities around its professional marketplace ecosystem.

Its business model is designed to support expansion across locations and service categories without requiring the company to directly employ every photographer operating on the platform.

Building From Ahmedabad With National and Then International Ambitions

KliqShot is developed by Ninez IT-Tech Solutions Private Limited, a technology company established in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in 2023.

After product research and development during 2025, KliqShot introduced its customer web platform in Ahmedabad and Surat on 3 June 2026.

The company subsequently expanded its digital marketplace presence into additional markets, including Mumbai and Delhi, alongside the rollout of its Android and iOS applications.

KliqShot's broader national strategy targets major metropolitan markets and Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities, with expansion guided by professional onboarding, local supply availability and customer demand.

The platform is intended to serve both B2C and B2B customers, enabling it to address personal photography requirements as well as recurring business demand for commercial visual content.

Its long-term ambition includes opportunities beyond photography and videography within the wider wedding and event services ecosystem.

The Founders Behind the Vision

KliqShot is led by Ranjit Singh, Founder and Managing Director, and Tara Singh, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, of Ninez IT-Tech Solutions Private Limited.

Ranjit Singh brings a multidisciplinary professional background spanning technology and business, with a focus on innovation, marketplace development and long-term strategy.

His vision for KliqShot emerged from recognizing an opportunity to modernize an industry where talented professionals and customers often struggle to connect efficiently.

Rather than treating photography purely as a creative service, he approached the challenge as a technology and marketplace problem requiring structured discovery, transparent pricing and improved booking workflows.

Tara Singh complements this vision through her focus on commercial strategy, customer experience, operations and business execution.

Together, the founders have pursued KliqShot's development through a bootstrapped approach, emphasizing product development and a scalable business foundation.

Their goal is to establish an organized digital marketplace that creates value for customers, creative professionals and business partners.

From Booking Photographers to Building a Broader EventTech Ecosystem

KliqShot's current focus remains professional photography and videography.

However, the founding team's longer-term vision extends into complementary wedding, celebration and event-related services.

By building a marketplace infrastructure around professional discovery, availability, configurable services and digital transactions, the company hopes to create a foundation that could support additional service categories over time.

Such expansion would require careful development of new supplier networks, customer experiences and operational workflows.

For now, KliqShot's immediate ambition is to establish a stronger position within photography and videography bookings before pursuing the broader opportunity.

The Future: Why Shouldn't Photography Be Booked Like a Cab?

India's digital transformation has changed how people discover and purchase everyday services.

The next opportunity may lie in making specialized professional services equally accessible.

A photographer capturing a family milestone, a videographer producing a business campaign or a drone operator supporting a commercial project should not necessarily require days of searching and negotiations before a customer can make a booking.

KliqShot wants to make that process simpler, more transparent and more accessible.

For customers, the promise is convenience and choice.

For photographers, it is greater digital visibility and new booking opportunities.

For investors, it is the potential to build a scalable marketplace around professional creative services.

From Ahmedabad to India's growing digital economy, KliqShot is working toward a future where booking a photographer becomes a natural part of the country's everyday services ecosystem.

Because when a moment deserves to be captured, finding the right professional should be the easy part.
