Myntra launches Myntra Global in Singapore, targeting Indian diaspora while doubling down on home market
CEO Nandita Sinha says the May 19 Singapore launch of Myntra Global courts 650,000 resident Indians, with 30,000 users already signed up. Domestically, the Walmart-owned platform chases India's under-15% e-fashion penetration and a 100 million customer target among aspirational Gen Z shoppers.
