Key facts
- 650,000 Indians in Singapore
- 30,000 users from Singapore pre-launch

- less than 15% e-fashion penetration in India

- Monitor Walmart capital allocation commentary on Myntra international vs domestic
- Assess private-label and India-designer brand traction abroad as differentiation lever
- Domestic: scale tier-2/tier-3 acquisition toward the 100M target via affordability/quick-commerce
