  • Use marketplace demand data to refine inventory allocation between owned channels, physical retail, and third-party e-commerce.
  • Introduce Myntra-exclusive colorways or entry-price products to limit direct conflict with existing one8 channels.
  • Test adjacent multi-brand platforms or expand Myntra availability if return rates and discount dependence remain controlled.
