The focus on Gen Z is smart, but I hope they don't forget about other age groups. Sometimes the app feels a bit cluttered with fast-fashion trends. That said, the beauty section is fantastic – the K-beauty range is better than any other Indian platform.

M-Now delivery in 30 mins is a lifesaver! Used it twice during last-minute festival shopping. It's a bit pricier, but worth it when you're in a pinch. Glad to see an Indian company leading in tech innovation like this.

The expansion into home decor and jewellery is interesting. I bought a few silver items during Diwali – quality was good and the process was smooth. It's becoming a one-stop shop, which is convenient.

While the growth is phenomenal, I have a respectful criticism. The return policy has become stricter over time, especially for non-metro areas. For a platform preaching customer centricity, this is a pain point that needs addressing. Otherwise, a solid platform.

Myntra's success shows how much India's shopping habits have changed. From bargaining in local markets to expecting 30-minute delivery! The Glamstream feature is addictive – I spend more time watching hauls than I'd like to admit. 😅
