Our story

Didn't give up. Kept building.

After dozens of job rejections, Kanika didn't stop. She built an AI that turns a selfie into a professional headshot. Today, that product has grown into GoStudio: AI image and video tools for people, pets and products, building with a small team in Bengaluru.

Where it started

Not giving up. Going indie.

Dozens of rejections. No offer letter.So Kanika built the photographer she couldn't afford.

  1. The laptop where GoStudio.ai started

    Early 2025The first $211

    26 strangers paid for something she made.

    No ads. No funding. Just a launch post. In 30 days, 26 people paid, mostly freelancers, coaches and job seekers who found it through LinkedIn posts and cold DMs. Only $211, but it was proof that people wanted this.

    Mid 2025$500 in a month

    The community built it with us.

    Every message was a lesson. Users asked for features, and we shipped them with their names on it. Then, with their feedback and God's grace, we crossed $500 in a single month. That's when we knew: this works.

  3. Revenue screenshots: $5.1K total revenue, $4,968 in commission and a $2,241 PayPal payout from Paddle

    2025$12K with one laptop

    No office. No investors. Still growing.

    No office, no investors, no team. Just one laptop, late nights and a product people kept paying for. One year after the rejections, GoStudio had closed $12K in total revenue.

  4. The GoStudio team in Bengaluru

    TodayA small team in Bengaluru

    From one laptop to one table.

    What started as one person is now a small team in Bengaluru, building a company around one problem: great visuals shouldn't need a studio. GoStudio now makes AI images and videos, and recreates photos, for people, their pets and their products.

OUR MISSION

Great visuals shouldn't need a studio.

A job seeker's first headshot. A small shop's product photo. A family's favourite pet. Everyone deserves to look their best, and money shouldn't decide who does. We're a small team in Bengaluru building honest, affordable AI tools to create and recreate images and videos, so that's possible for everyone.
