once upon a time..
Sunday, May 20th, 2007There were these bunch of guys in different parts of the world working in various day jobs but secretly harboring dreams of starting up on their own. All were working for IT MNCs with a lot of salary and a lot of time, the type parents loved and matrimonial sites had special search criteria for!
Then one day one guy moved his behind to get his idea off the ground. He did what all desperate wannabe entrepreneurs do, spammed his alumni mailing list! He found 2 willing, desperate accomplices from his own institute. The trio then worked part time, full time, all the time, to get an architecture going. In the meantime, the power of networking started taking hold; everyone suddenly seemed to know someone unhappy in his job and day-dreaming about startups! Friends of friends got suckered into joining the startup!! Blogs became recruitment portals! And before we knew it, we were 7; call us Samurais, Magnificent, what you will!
And thus was born Myntra!
Sounds so romantic, doesn’t it!? It is true actually, so we have one aspect of the startup legend covered, the sweet beginning!!
Now for the hard part..
We are finally launching our site, www.myntra.com.
There is excitement, apprehension, tension, joy, knots in our stomach, everything one would and should expect.
So, what is Myntra?
We have yet to come up with an explanation for the name, just loved the 2 syllable sound of it!
We want to be the one-stop shop for product customization.
