Flipkart Group has put Sharon Pais in charge of Myntra, effective immediately, replacing outgoing chief executive Nandita Sinha. (stories.flipkart.com) Pais will report to Flipkart Group Chief Executive Officer Kalyan Krishnamurthy, and Sinha will stay on for the coming months to support the handover. (stories.flipkart.com) The change became official on April 13, 2026. CNBC-TV18 reported Pais had been Myntra’s chief business officer before moving to lead Flipkart Fashion, while Sinha had run Myntra since 2022 and spent nearly 13 years across the Flipkart group. (cnbctv18.com) Flipkart is keeping the transition inside its own bench. In the same reshuffle, Kapil Thirani will lead Flipkart Fashion, and the group said it will start looking for a new leader for its marketplace business. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) Myntra is not changing direction at the same moment it changes leaders. Pais told The Economic Times that M-Now, the company’s rapid-delivery service, will be a big growth driver as Myntra pushes faster shipping, brand expansion, and artificial-intelligence-led product discovery. (economictimes.indiatimes.com) That service is a recent bet. Myntra launched M-Now in December 2024 with 30-minute delivery in Bengaluru for 10,000 fashion, beauty, accessories, and home products. (cnbctv18.com) By June 2025, Myntra said M-Now had expanded to Delhi-National Capital Region and Mumbai, with 90,000 stock keeping units from more than 600 brands across the three metros. (blog.myntra.com) The timing also fits a broader reset at Flipkart as it prepares for a possible public listing. Financial Express said the group is trying to scale growth and strengthen margins, while The Times of India described Flipkart as initial-public-offering bound. (financialexpress.com; timesofindia.indiatimes.com) For Myntra, the immediate story is continuity: the same parent company, an internal successor, and a handover that keeps Sinha involved while Pais takes over the fashion platform’s next phase.
