The first day of Walmart-owned online fashion retailer Myntra’s flagship event End of Reason Sale (EORS) witnessed shopping by over 1.2 million customers, purchasing 4 million products. The Bengaluru-based firm recorded the highest-ever opening day traffic sessions growth for Myntra, at 200 per cent over BAU (business-as-usual).

Nearly 53 per cent of first-time customers came from Tier 2-3 and beyond making their first purchase on Myntra, giving the 14th edition a major fillip. In the biggest ever spike, one million new customers installed the Myntra app, making the most of the day-1 value offers.

“With the largest opening day ever, this EORS is a testimony to how customers continue to place their trust in Myntra and see value in our offerings, as it serves as the harbinger of revival for the fashion ecosystem,” said Amar Nagaram, CEO, Myntra.

Myntra witnessed about 6x growth over BAU on the first day,  with a majority of shoppers placing orders for men’s casual wear, women’s western wear and personal care.

Men’s Jeans and Streetwear ruled the roost among top categories, followed by Women’s Westernwear and Ethnic wear, together constituting over 50 per cent of the total sales.  During the Early Access, customers purchased over 3 million items..
