Myntra to bring Mango to India

Myntra, India’s leading online shopping platform, has been awarded the master distribution and management rights for Spanish fast-fashion brand Mango in India.

The move means that Myntra will be responsible for managing Mango's omnichannel presence including Mango.com, offline stores in the country as well as the brand's presence on its own platforms, Myntra and Jabong. Plans include the ambitious opening of 25-30 Mango stores in India over the next five years.

The association between the two companies goes back to 2014 when apparel from Mango was first listed on Myntra, and Mango is currently one of the top five womenswear brands on the marketplace.

Commenting on the news, Ananth Narayanan, chief executive of Myntra and Jabong, said: ”We are very excited to be the first e-commerce company to be awarded these exclusive rights by a leading global fashion brand such as Mango.
