This means that Myntra, India’s largest e-commerce fashion retailer, which currently controls 70% of the mass fashion market (alongside Flipkart) will start to face competition.
Among the high-end (fashion) brands going online is ZINGRIN, one of the first high-end fashion brands from North-East India to have settled snugly in the mainstream fashion industry. It had flagship stores in New Delhi, Mumbai and Manipur before it decided to completely move to eCommerce.
