As a seasoned leader in the consumer internet space, Sinha has deep expertise in leading businesses, and driving tech-pivoted growth and innovation, a statement said.

During her eight-year tenure at Flipkart, she has worked across multiple roles and categories, including beauty and personal care, books, general merchandise, home and furniture. She has built a strong organisation, grooming several future leaders with her exemplary people skills, it added.

Nandita joined Flipkart in August 2013 after stints in Hindustan Unilever Ltd and Britannia Industries Ltd. Before joining Flipkart, she was Co-founder at MyBabyCart.com, an ecommerce site.

"Myntra is integral to the group as an organisation that leads the charter on fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, solving the dynamic needs of the modern fashion-conscious consumer. As the forerunner of several innovations and unique consumer experiences, our aspirations continue to grow for Myntra as a separate company," Flipkart Group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy said.

He exuded confidence that given her strong background in driving businesses and an acute focus on customer-centricity, she will be instrumental in defining the next phase of Myntra's evolution as its CEO.

As a leading player in the space, Myntra has played a key role in revolutionising how people shop fashion and beauty, on the back of an amazing customer experience.

"I am very excited about my new role and look forward to the opportunity of driving Myntra's vision of democratising fashion further while working with a very talented team at Myntra," she said.
