D/Sphere AI Platform by Dhana Inc. Wins BOLD Awards VII for Open Innovation
Redefining fashion through AI-powered circular co-creation
Barcelona, Spain – March 30, 2026 — Dhana Inc. proudly announces that its D/Sphere AI Platform has been honored with the BOLD Awards VII in the Open Innovation category, recognizing groundbreaking digital solutions that are transforming industries on a global scale.
D/Sphere is an AI-powered circular operating system for fashion and textiles, designed to reimagine how garments are created, used, and sustained. By enabling real-time collaboration across brands, designers, manufacturers, and consumers, the platform introduces a new paradigm: fashion as a dynamic, co-created ecosystem rather than a linear product lifecycle.
“The future of fashion will not be designed for people—it will be designed with people,” said Shamini Dhana, Founder and CEO of Dhana Inc., during her acceptance speech. “D/Sphere is a new operating system for fashion—where creativity is shared, systems are open, and garments are designed to live many lives.”
Through the integration of artificial intelligence, D/Sphere empowers stakeholders across the value chain to make more informed, sustainable decisions—reducing waste, optimizing materials, and extending product lifecycles. The platform supports circular design principles by enabling garments to be repaired, renewed, repurposed, and remade, unlocking long-term value and minimizing environmental impact.
Key capabilities of D/Sphere include:
AI-driven design and lifecycle intelligence to optimize material use and reduce waste
Co-creation tools that enable collaborative design across global stakeholders
Circularity integration, supporting multiple product life cycles
Transparency and data insights to inform sustainable decision-making
The BOLD Awards recognize visionary companies and leaders who are redefining industries through innovation, creativity, and impact. Being selected among global innovators in the Open Innovation category underscores D/Sphere’s role in advancing a more collaborative, intelligent, and circular fashion ecosystem.
“This recognition belongs to our global community—our team, partners, garment workers, and creators—who are building this future together,” added Dhana. “We invite the industry to move beyond closed systems and join us in creating open ecosystems that unlock shared value.”
Dhana Inc. continues to work with fashion brands, technology partners, and sustainability leaders worldwide to scale the adoption of D/Sphere and accelerate the transition toward a regenerative fashion economy.
