Ananth Narayan, the chief executive of Myntra's on Friday had announced that the company is going to sack 250 employees. "Myntra and Jabong will now fully integrate all the remaining functions including technology, marketing, category, revenue, finance and creative teams," a Myntra spokesperson told ET in an email. He, however, refused to discuss more on the termination of another 200 employees.

 

Myntra acquired Jabong back in July 2016 for $70 million from German investors of Rocket Internet after defeating other rivals like Snapdeals and Future Group. Myntra always tried to maintain Jabong as a separate business.

"Flipkart Fashion, Myntra and Jabong will also be integrated wherever there are synergies, while the front-end will continue to operate separately," the financial daily had quoted the source as saying.
Myntra has also joined hands with Goonj to allow customers to exchange their old clothes which will gain them Myntra point. These points can be used during the purchase. The company has taken this initiative under ' Myntra Fashion Upgrade' banner and it is scheduled from November 21 to November 24.
