"After nearly three years of leading Myntra, Amar has decided to leave the Flipkart Group to pursue his own venture.

When contacted, Myntra – which is part of the Flipkart group – confirmed the development.

"Amar will be with us till end-December to ensure a smooth transition and will continue to be associated with us in an advisory role. We will share details of his successor shortly," he added.
