Sinha will join Myntra from group company Flipkart, where she is currently leading the overall charter for marketing as vice president, customer growth and marketing, the company said in a statement on Friday.

“Myntra is integral to the group as an organisation that leads the charter on fashion, beauty and lifestyle, solving the dynamic needs of the modern fashion-conscious consumer. As the forerunner of several innovations and unique consumer experiences, our aspirations continue to grow for Myntra as a separate company,” said Kalyan Krishnamurthy, chief executive officer (CEO), Flipkart Group.  

“I am certain that with her strong background in driving businesses and an acute focus on customer-centricity, Nandita will be instrumental in defining  the next phase of Myntra’s evolution as its CEO,” said Krishnamurthy.  

During her eight year tenure at Flipkart, Sinha has worked across multiple roles and categories, including beauty and personal care, books and general merchandise, home and furniture. Just like her predecessor, Sinha will be reporting to Krishnamurthy, as a part of her new role.

“As a leading player in the space, Myntra has played a key role in revolutionizing how people shop fashion and beauty, on the back of an amazing customer experience. I am very excited about my new role and look forward to the opportunity of driving Myntra’s vision of democratising fashion further while working with a very talented team at Myntra," said Sinha.
