Myntra launches Myntra Global in Singapore, targeting Indian diaspora while keeping India core
CEO Nandita Sinha unveiled a May 19 Singapore launch aimed at the 650,000-strong Indian diaspora, with 30,000 pre-launch sign-ups. Myntra targets 12-15% of that consumer base while betting on an underpenetrated domestic market (sub-15% e-fashion penetration) and 100M-plus existing customers.
