Flipkart's Michael Adani joins Styletag

Styletag.com, India's first online women's curated fashion and lifestyle destination has announced the appointment of its new CEO, Michael Mehran Adnani.

Michael has joined Styletag from Flipkart, where he was the Vice President of the commerce platform and headed the strategic brand alliances for the e-commerce giant.

Speaking on the announcement, Sanjay Shroff, founder and managing director, Styletag.com, said, "Styletag has experienced notable and visible growth since inception and, through our conservative and innovative strategies. We have been able to create an enterprise, which has weathered the various weather patterns that have emerged in the ECom landscape."

"Styletag now possesses the correct ingredients for rapid acceleration, expansion and consolidation. We already have an omni-channel presence, which was established two years ago and which has turned profitable.

My job will be to leverage the strengths of the company and turn them into winning strategies to cement Styletag's position as a domain leader."
