  • M‑Now operates in 10 cities, 940 pin codes, 100k styles.
  • M‑Now accounted for 10% of orders in active pin codes.

Pulse Analysis

The appointment of Sharon Pais signals continuity and fresh momentum for Myntra’s growth engine. Having steered Flipkart Fashion, Pais brings deep insight into consumer trends and supply‑chain efficiencies, allowing her to align the brand’s expansion with the rapid‑commerce push. By reporting to Flipkart Group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy, she ensures that strategic priorities—brand portfolio diversification and AI‑enhanced discovery—remain tightly integrated with the broader group’s objectives.

M‑Now, Myntra’s 30‑ to 60‑minute delivery service, is now live in ten major Indian cities, covering more than 940 pin codes and offering a catalog of 100,000 styles from 1,000 brands. The service captured roughly 10% of orders in its operating zones as of November 2025, a metric that is expected to climb as the platform leverages data‑driven insights to fine‑tune inventory placement and logistics. This rapid‑commerce model taps into a growing consumer appetite for immediacy, especially for premium fashion and beauty items tied to festive occasions or social moments, differentiating Myntra from slower e‑commerce rivals.

Financially, Myntra’s FY25 results underscore the payoff of its dual strategy. Net profit surged 18‑fold to ₹548 crore (about $66 million), while revenue rose 18% to ₹6,043 crore (≈$728 million), outpacing cost growth. The company added two million new customers and saw a 70% jump in orders from non‑metro regions during the festive season, highlighting the untapped potential outside India’s major metros. As the only profitable Flipkart unit, Myntra’s performance may attract further capital for scaling M‑Now and could set a benchmark for profitability in a market where many e‑commerce players still grapple with losses.
