Myntra obtains Rs 1,062.5 crore from parent entity amid global expansion
Online fashion retailer Myntra has secured Rs 1,062.5 crore in fresh funding from its Singapore-based parent company, FK Myntra Holdings. The capital infusion follows earlier investments of $339 million in March 2024 and $81 million in November 2024, as the platform accelerates growth.
The development coincides with Myntra's international expansion through the launch of Myntra Global, a new platform designed to serve the Indian diaspora in Singapore, Apparel Resources India reported. The service offers a curated selection of fashion and Made-in-India products, marking the brand's first foray into global e-commerce.
To support cross-border operations, Myntra is leveraging third-party international logistics providers to ship inventory from India to Singapore, with average delivery times ranging from four to seven days.The expansion comes amid heightened competition in India's online apparel market, including the re-entry of Chinese fast fashion platform Shein.
Despite an increasingly competitive market, Myntra posted a turnaround in the 2024 fiscal year, recording a net profit of Rs 31 crore, compared to a net loss of Rs 782 crore the previous year. Operating revenue rose by 15% year-on-year to Rs 5,122 crore, reflecting growing demand and improved operational efficiency.

Skechers shareholder sues footwear maker for details on $9.4 billion 3G buyout
A Skechers USA shareholder has sued the footwear maker for more details about its $9.4 billion buyout by private equity firm 3G Capital, saying the decision by Skechers' founder and controlling shareholder to sell raises "red flags." According to a complaint filed on Thursday in Los Angeles federal court, founder Robert Greenberg and his family, who hold about 60% of Skechers' voting power, appear to have "controlled the sales process to a single bidder and deprived the minority stockholders of any legitimate bidding process." Florida-based Key West Police Officers & Firefighters Retirement Plan said the buyout should not close until Skechers makes required disclosures with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to help shareholders decide if the terms are fair. The complaint cited a Reuters article in which Needham analyst Tom Nikic called the buyout "very surprising" because Skechers was considered a family business. Sources said the Greenbergs eschewed an auction because of their long ties to 3G. Known for comfort-first sneakers, Skechers is the world's third-largest footwear maker. Skechers spokeswoman Jennifer Clay declined to comment on Friday, saying the Manhattan Beach, California-based company does not discuss pending litigation. The vast majority of large U.S. corporate mergers are challenged in court. Lawsuits seeking greater disclosures often end with defendants paying legal fees to plaintiffs' lawyers, and plaintiffs recovering nominal payouts or nothing. According to a regulatory filing, Greenberg, 85, could collect more than $1 billion from the buyout, which is scheduled to close in the third quarter. The buyout values Skechers at $63 per share in cash, 20% below its 52-week high of $78.82 set on January 30. Like other footwear makers including Nike, Skechers faces pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump 's tariffs. Many Skechers products come from China, and the company withdrew its full-year financial guidance in April. Brazil-based 3G is known for stringent cost-cutting, including at such companies as Anheuser-Busch InBev and Kraft Heinz. The case is Key West Police Officers & Firefighters Retirement Plan v. Skechers USA Inc. et al, U.S. District Court, Central District of California, No. 25-04863.
