Myntra promotes gender diversity by scaling the share of women hiring this festive season



Myntra, in its commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity in the fashion industry, will be hiring more than 21% women as compared to the previous festive season, the company said in a statement. In preparation for its annual event, the Big Fashion Festival (BFF), the company said it is set to increase women hiring in its supply chain and contact center operations.

Myntra says its goal is not only to provide employment, but also to create opportunities for women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to improve their livelihoods. Myntra is investing in training programs led by both in-house experts and external professional trainers to ensure that these women can make meaningful contributions to their roles.

The initiative will extend to rural areas and villages in states such as Haryana, Telangana, West Bengal, and Karnataka. Additionally, as an effort for gender diversity in its contact center, it is aiming for 45% of total hires in this department to be women during this festive season.

Nupur Nagpal, CHRO of Myntra, said in a statement, “Our preparations for the Big Fashion Festival are in full swing to cater to the high demand from our customers eagerly waiting to shop on Myntra for their festive needs. At Myntra, we are committed to advancing the entire fashion ecosystem, and a key part of this commitment is our dedication to diversity and inclusion. We are particularly excited about onboarding the on-ground staff, where women will play a pivotal role in offering optimal experience to customers and adding to their joy in the festive season.”
