Myntra.com announced the launch of its on-demand platform for personalized merchandise like T-shirts, Calendars, mugs, watches, teddy bears, and other products today. The company specializes in providing a one of its kind service in India where users can create their own product using their own photographs, designs, text captions, or by picking from Myntra’s large database of designs. Myntra.com is also a marketplace for designers where creative people can simply upload their designs and earn a royalty every time their design sells. In addition to this, Myntra also runs multiple contests every month like “Public ka Picasso”, “Paint-your-tee”, and so on where designers can win prize money up to Rs 25,000. Myntra has 100’s of active designers who create designs for every occasion like birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and also on current affairs like the cricket controversy.

Though it has been running on beta for the last few months, Myntra.com has been extremely popular with people from different walks of life. The website traffic has been increasing at an astounding pace and it has earned a large loyal user base. There are people who have bought as many as six times over last 9 months. A user Preeti says that “every time I have a friend’s birthday, I simply log on to myntra.com and create a gift that stands out”. Another huge user base is the college kids or the gen Y who want to express their opinions in a constructive and creative way.

Myntra has also made considerable headway in attracting small groups of friends or colleagues who want to create a group identity. An example of this is a group of graduating college students from Bangalore who wanted their caricatures to be printed on T-shirts as a way to represent their time together. This is also true for project groups in multi-national companies who want to create their own identity within the organization.
