Myntra set to become ‘mobile-
only’ by 2015
“Growth in mobile commerce continues to beat our expectations month-on-month, and we will close this financial year ending March 31, 2015 with 75 per cent of our revenue coming from mobile. Of this, 60 per cent of mobile traffic will come through our Myntra app and the rest through the mobile web browser. This is because navigation is faster and more intuitive on the Myntra mobile app compared to the mobile web browser which is slower”

Flipkart's Myntra merger can't stop
Amazon
Amazon has already come up as a true innovator
for the 'hungry-for-more' Indian consumer.
Mobile apps, same-day delivery, superb brand
and the ability to deliver goods to the last man
standing.
It covers more than 20,000 PIN codes.
Its pace of growth in such a short time is no
magic.
Amazon has been the top player across the
world, and the size of its pocket, coupled with no
investor-driven hurry will speak for itself in the
Indian market soon enough.
FINE FOR TAX EVASION

of up to Rs 54 crore on a slew of e-retail players

CHALLENGES Logistics is an important aspect of any ecommerce company and
Myntra’s model for success is its Hybrid logistics models. They have distributed the operational logistics between themselves and third party service providers on the basis of geography.
In the early days, hiring was one of the biggest challenges that we faced. We worked from a home and people who came for interviews saw this, they used to leave at the doorstep, without even coming in. So in the beginning, we had really focused on people who wanted to be entrepreneurs. With time we have overcome this challenge.
Myntra today is in creating a balance between profitability and growth; the balance between investing to grow and staying profitable.
“Cost is a function of the capacity that you want to build in your brand; the more capacity that you want to build the more cost that you spend on it. It is also a function of how long before you need it, you’re building your capacity, for example are you building capacity 3 or 6 months in advance to the time of need. We can use lean principles to keep the costs down; doing things just in time also helps.”
