Myntra has announced that it has been awarded the master distribution and management rights for the Spanish fast fashion brand Mango in India, making it the first e-commerce player globally to manage the Omnichannel strategy for a global fashion brand. As a part of this arrangement, Myntra plans to curate and facilitate 25-30 Mango stores as well as list the brand exclusively on Myntra and Jabong, in association with select retail partners over the next five years.
