Myntra is bolstering strategic international brand partnerships to elevate consumer experience
As a trailblazer in India, Myntra had established itself as the go-to partner for foreign companies looking to enter the rapidly expanding Indian market. In a conversation with Jayanti Ganguly, Myntra's Vice President of Business, on the elements that have helped the company draw in, grow, and hold onto global brands as well as how these alliances have raised customer happiness to all-time highs. In response to this demand, Myntra has added almost 50 foreign brands in the last year alone, bringing its portfolio to over 400 coveted worldwide brands.
