By Rotation Partners With Uber to Accelerate Fashion Rental Delivery

London – By Rotation, one of the U.K.’s premier peer-to-peer fashion rental platforms, has officially announced a strategic partnership with ride-sharing giant Uber. This transformative collaboration is set to redefine the logistics of fashion rentals by ensuring rapid, same-day delivery combined with a 10% discount offer until May 31.

Innovative Logistics Tailored to Consumer Needs

Under the new arrangement, U.K. users of By Rotation can rent high-value outfits—including bulky ski gear—and have them delivered in under 60 minutes via Uber. By addressing the logistical challenges often associated with the transportation of sizable equipment, this venture directly meets the demands of a segment where 30% of ski gear renters require same-day pick-up.

Consumer-Centric Innovation

Eshita Kabra-Davies, founder and CEO of By Rotation, noted in her interview with TechCrunch that the partnership is a direct response to user feedback. “Our community loves sustainable fashion, but they also expect the speed and convenience of e-commerce,” Kabra-Davies explained. The initiative is designed to eliminate the final friction point in the rental process, effectively easing the traditional ‘panic purchase’ scenario when urgent outfit needs arise.

Championing Sustainable Fashion

This collaboration marks an important step in transitioning from fast fashion to a more sustainable, circular economy. By offering rapid delivery of premium rentals, the alliance empowers consumers to opt for quality and longevity over disposable garments. The shift exemplifies how strategic partnerships can drive both environmental sustainability and enhanced consumer convenience.

Global Vision and Expansion

Since its inception in 2019, By Rotation has scaled its operations to become a global force in the rental market, boasting more than one million users and luxury inventory valued at over $100 million. Highlighting its innovative approach, the platform has even showcased success stories where users have leveraged wardrobe earnings for significant personal milestones. With recent expansions into markets such as New York and ambitions to break into the UAE, Kabra-Davies asserts, “Our ambition, like Uber’s, is global. We want to make the ‘rotating wardrobe’ the default mode of consumption everywhere.”

This strategic alliance between By Rotation and Uber not only alleviates logistic challenges but also charts a forward-thinking roadmap for sustainable consumption in the fashion industry.

Nvidia Paves The Way For Orbital Data Centers In Space Computing Revolution

Nvidia introduced computing platforms designed for orbital data centers during its GTC 2026 conference. The systems are intended to support artificial intelligence workloads in space-based environments. CEO Jensen Huang said the development reflects a shift toward processing data closer to where it is generated, including in orbit

Redefining The Final Frontier Of Computing

During the keynote, Huang said satellite networks are expanding rapidly, increasing the need for computing infrastructure beyond Earth. He stated that AI systems may need to operate directly within space-based data environments. These developments are linked to the growth of satellite constellations and space-based data collection.

Innovative Modules And Strategic Partnerships

Nvidia introduced the Vera Rubin Space-1 module, which combines IGX Thor and Jetson Orin processors adapted for space conditions. The hardware is designed to operate within constraints related to size, weight and power.

The company said it is working with partners including Axiom Space, Planet Labs and Starcloud on related initiatives.

Overcoming Engineering Challenges

Huang noted that cooling systems remain a key technical challenge in space environments. Heat dissipation differs from Earth-based systems, as cooling relies on radiation rather than convection. These constraints require adjustments in hardware design for orbital use.

Expanding The Scope Of AI And Data Centers

The initiative comes as energy consumption and operating costs increase for terrestrial data centers. Space-based systems could rely on solar energy, which remains more consistently available in orbit.  Companies, including Google and SpaceX are also exploring concepts related to space-based infrastructure and AI systems.

Looking Ahead

As orbital data centers inch closer to reality, the integration of space computing into AI infrastructure represents a transformative leap for technology. Nvidia’s bold vision underscores an industry-wide shift, promising to expand the capabilities of digital infrastructure even beyond the confines of Earth.
