History Established in 2007 by Mukesh Bansal along with Ashutosh Lawania and Vineet Saxena, Myntra was in the business of on-demand personalisation of gift items. It mainly operated on the B2B (business to business) model during its initial years. Between 2007 and 2010, the online portal allowed customers to personalize products such as T-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, calendars, watches, teddy bears, pendants, wine glasses and jigsaw puzzles. Within the initial 3 years, Myntra became India’s largest personalisation platform with more than 50% of the market share. In 2011, Myntra expanded its catalogue to include fashion and lifestyle products and moved away from personalisation.
