Resurfacing Myntra's June Singapore launch, India still its core market
CEO Nandita Sinha had detailed Myntra Global's Singapore debut, which launched in early June 2025 targeting the 650,000-strong Indian diaspora, with 30,000 pre-launch users. India remains the anchor market, where e-fashion penetration below 15% and Gen Z demand signal long runway for its 100 million-plus customer base.
