Myntra launches Myntra Global in Singapore, targeting Indian diaspora while defending home turf
CEO Nandita Sinha frames international growth via Myntra Global's Singapore debut, aiming at 650,000 Indians there with early traction of 30,000 users. The play targets 12-15% of the diaspora as e-fashion penetration stays below 15% and Gen Z-led demand fuels a 100M-plus domestic base.

Key facts

- 12-15% target consumer base
- less than 15% e-fashion penetration
