Myntra launches Myntra Global in Singapore, targeting Indian diaspora as first overseas market
CEO Nandita Sinha frames international growth around the Indian diaspora, starting with Singapore's 650,000-strong community and 30,000 early users. Myntra aims to capture 12-15% of that base initially while keeping India core, chasing 100M-plus domestic customers in a market with under 15% e-fashion penetration.
