Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha to Step Down Ahead of Flipkart IPO; Sharon Pais Likely To Take Over
Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha is set to step down in the coming weeks, with Flipkart beginning the search for her successor ahead of its IPO. Sharon Pais is likely to take over. Myntra remains a key player, contributing to nearly 50 percent of India’s USD 21 billion fashion e-commerce market.
Bengaluru, April 3: Nandita Sinha, the chief executive officer of Myntra, is set to resign in the coming weeks, marking a significant leadership shift within the Flipkart group. According to sources, the company has already initiated the process of identifying her successor as it prepares for key strategic developments, including its much-anticipated IPO later this year.
Sinha, who has been associated with Flipkart since 2013, played a crucial role in scaling Myntra into India’s leading fashion e-commerce platform. During her tenure as CEO, which began in 2022, she also briefly oversaw Flipkart Fashion, strengthening the group’s dominance in the highly competitive online fashion market.
Insiders suggest that Sharon Pais, currently heading Flipkart Fashion and previously serving as Myntra’s chief business officer, is the frontrunner to take over the top role. While the transition is still under discussion, a final decision is expected soon.

Myntra remains a key asset within the Flipkart ecosystem, which is owned by Walmart. The platform competes with major players such as Amazon Fashion, AJIO, Nykaa Fashion, and Meesho. Together, Myntra and Flipkart Fashion command nearly 50 percent of India’s USD 21 billion fashion e-commerce market, underlining their market leadership.
