Speaking to businessline, Nandita Sinha, CEO, Myntra, said, “We are seeing strong growth in core categories and new categories that we are building. For example, this EORS, we will grow 30 per cent versus last year in the footwear category. Similarly, we are growing 2x-3x in the beauty and personal care category.”
She added that the impact of inflation is not very uniform across all categories. There are some customers and categories which are more impacted. For Myntra, the metro segment continues to grow faster. “Beauty and personal care, footwear, and ethnic have continued to grow for us. Apart from that, categories like home and kids are also growing. The consumption occasions for customers have changed and they are now picking up different kinds of categories in this period,” said Sinha.
New undertakings
Ahead of EORS-18, Myntra has rolled out new features like vernacular search in 11 different languages, MyFashionGPT, Virtual Try-On, Product Finder, AI Skin and Hair Analyzer, among others.
