Nandita Sinha, chief executive officer (CEO) of Flipkart-owned Myntra, is set to resign in the coming weeks, ending a decade-long association with the Walmart-owned group. The company has started looking for her replacement.
Sharon Pais, who leads Flipkart Fashion and previously served as Myntra’s chief business officer, is reportedly the leading candidate to replace Nandita Sinha and take over Myntra, strengthening leadership within Flipkart’s fashion e-commerce segment.
Nandita Sinha joined the Flipkart group in 2013 as Associate Director. Over the years, she contributed to multiple teams, including furniture, customer engagement and health and beauty, showcasing her diverse experience before becoming Myntra’s CEO in 2022.
During her tenure as Myntra CEO, Sinha also took on the responsibility of leading Flipkart Fashion. She later handed over the fashion portfolio to Sharon Pais, ensuring a smooth leadership transition while focusing on Myntra’s continued growth and performance.
Nandita Sinha is leaving Myntra just before Flipkart’s planned initial public offering (IPO) later this year. As one of Flipkart’s most profitable units, Myntra continues to play a key role in the group’s fashion strategy and investor focus.
According to reports, Myntra continues to lead India's fashion e-commerce market, outpacing rivals such as Amazon Fashion, Reliance's AJIO, Nykaa Fashion and Meesho. The platform remains a central driver of Flipkart’s fashion segment performance.
Bengaluru-based Myntra is among Flipkart’s most profitable companies. Other group entities include Cleartrip, Ekart and Shopsy, highlighting Flipkart’s diversified operations. Myntra’s leadership role strengthens Walmart’s presence in India’s competitive e-commerce sector.
Walmart, through Myntra and Flipkart Fashion, controls roughly half of India’s $21 billion fashion e-commerce market. These platforms are central to Flipkart’s strategy, cementing its market dominance ahead of the planned IPO and future growth.
