Resurfacing Myntra's June launch of Global in Singapore, targeting Indian diaspora while doubling down on home market
CEO Nandita Sinha's June strategy outlined a dual approach: expand internationally via Myntra Global's Singapore debut aimed at the 650,000-strong Indian community, while deepening leadership in an underpenetrated home market where e-fashion sits below 15%. The pre-launch had drawn 30,000 Singapore users, with an initial target of 12-15% of that consumer base.
