Company:

"Everyone is gifted - but some people never open their package" goes an old saying. Most of us would never want the surprises we gift our loved ones to go unopened and unused. But those of us who have tried hunting for unique gifts know the painful truth.

Be it hunting a unique gift for that special person, a token of recognition for your employees to celebrate their performance, expressing your support for a cause, or just a wearing a couple of lines on your t-shirt to show your attitude, it proves more complex than solving a Rubik's cube.

Well, not anymore. We at Myntra are here to simplify this cumbersome task into a couple of easy steps. Founded in July 2006, Myntra happens to be the brain wave of 6 guys from IIT/IIM background. It's an online platform where one can create or buy customized and personalized merchandize such as t-shirts, mugs, calendars, watches, notepads, and so on.

That's right! Bid a goodbye to the same old boring gifts. Make them yourself and express your heartfelt feelings. Yes, we will print your designs, messages, or even pictures of your loved ones on our various products.

Not just that, you could upload your innovative designs, whacky one-liners, et al on our website which showcases your creativity to others. And what's more, you can make money if somebody buys the designs. If you are not the creative types, choose from our huge gallery of designs.

So what are you waiting for? Click here to take a tour
