Enamoured by Bangalore’s startup ecosystem, Nandita Sinha launched her own e-commerce venture in 2012. The learnings from that journey took her to Flipkart, where she rose through the ranks, leading multiple businesses and driving customer growth.

For the past 4 years, she’s been at the helm of ‪@myntra‬

one of India’s largest fashion, beauty and lifestyle ecommerce platforms - steering it to robust growth while innovating on Gen Z fashion and redefining the possibilities in fashion shopping with quick commerce.

Her journey reflects a rare mix of entrepreneurial hustle and leadership at scale, giving her a unique vantage point on what it really takes to build fashion and lifestyle brands in India.

On this episode of Interstellar, she opens up about India’s $150B fashion opportunity, shifting consumer behaviour, and the unique complexities of building in fashion.
