“These data points are partial and don’t give the entire picture of the company. Myntra and Jabong continue to grow at a healthy rate with a firm focus on delivering the best of fashion and lifestyle for our customers,” a Myntra spokeswoman told the Mint.
 
“We are moving forward in our strategic direction as per plan and remain committed to adding value to our customers and brand partners by transforming fashion e-commerce in the country,” she added.
 
Myntra’s private labels, which include Dressberry, Roadster, HRX, and Anouk, contributed around 25 percent to its revenue.
 
Myntra is planning to invest heavily in the coming years to improve its market share and expects its gross merchandise value (GMV) to reach $4 billion by 2021.
