Myntra

Myntra is an Indian fashion e-commerce company. Headquartered in Karnataka’s Bengaluru, the company was founded in 2007 by Mukesh Bansal along with Ashutosh Lawania and Vineet Saxena. Amar Nagaram is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company. It was established to sell on-demand personalized gift items such as t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, and other such items. But in just a few years, it transitioned into a full-fledged online shopping site for fashion and lifestyle products such as clothing, footwear and other fashion accessories, and moved away from personalisation. By 2012, the company offered products from 350 Indian and international brands to its platform, and this has only grown in number each passing year. In May 2014, Myntra was acquired by Flipkart in a deal valued at Rs 2,000 crore ($270 million). The purchase was influenced by two large common shareholders Tiger Global and Accel Partners. In the same year, Myntra's portfolio included about 1,50,000 products of over 1,000 brands, with a distribution area of around 9000 pincodes in India. In May 2015, Myntra announced shutting down its website and introducing a shopping app to further encourage customers’ shopping spree. A year later, the company acquired Jabong – an India-based fashion platform. In 2018, it became a part of Walmart group. More
