Myntra launches Myntra Global in Singapore, targeting the Indian diaspora as growth engine
CEO Nandita Sinha kicks off international expansion via Myntra Global in Singapore, courting 650,000-plus resident Indians while keeping India at the core. The domestic bet leans on an underpenetrated e-fashion market (sub-15%) and aspirational Gen Z shoppers atop a 100 million-plus customer base.
What happened
Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha outlined global expansion starting with Myntra Global in Singapore targeting the Indian diaspora, while deepening domestic leadership

- 650,000 Indians in Singapore
- 30,000 users from Singapore pre-launch
- 12-15% target consumer base
- e-fashion <15% penetration
