Enamoured by Bangalore’s startup ecosystem, Nandita Sinha launched her own e-commerce venture in 2012. The learnings from that journey took her to Flipkart, where she rose through the ranks, leading multiple businesses and driving customer growth.
For the past 4 years, she’s been at the helm of @myntra
one of India’s largest fashion, beauty and lifestyle ecommerce platforms – steering it to robust growth while innovating on Gen Z fashion and redefining the possibilities in fashion shopping with quick commerce.
Her journey reflects a rare mix of entrepreneurial hustle and leadership at scale, giving her a unique vantage point on what it really takes to build fashion and lifestyle brands in India.
On this episode of Interstellar, she opens up about India’s $150B fashion opportunity, shifting consumer behaviour, and the unique complexities of building in fashion.
