“This festive season is going to be the biggest fashion event, not just for Myntra, but what this country has seen,” said Amar Nagaram, CEO of Myntra. “It’s also going to be the biggest in terms of the selection we’ve put together - 9 lakh styles, across 5,000 brands.”

“What we’ve done in the last four months is help our brands get through the low time in the offline space with our omnichannel play. So, brands are no longer dealing with unsold inventory, it’s going to be new season merchandising at a very sharp pricing,” said Nagaram.

“Brands are partnering with us in a much more direct way with us, and there are a lot of data insights that we share to help them come up with the kind of selection,” he added.
