Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha explained the strategy behind why the company chose Singapore as a foreign business destination. She said, "We have a huge Indian diaspora in a country like Singapore -- almost 650,000 Indians live in Singapore. As we were going through our data...we realised that almost 30,000 of these users are actually visiting us every month. We then decided to launch Myntra Global in Singapore".
