Flipkart acquired Myntra in a $300-330 million deal in 2014, making it the largest e-commerce acquisition in India at the time. The acquisition aimed to boost Flipkart's fashion offerings by combining Myntra's apparel specialization with Flipkart's distribution network and infrastructure. It was expected to allow the combined entity to gain a majority share of the online fashion market in India. However, the merger also faced challenges of profitability pressures and increased competition from players like Snapdeal and Amazon entering the Indian e-commerce space.
Tiger Global, Accel Partners, and Sofina Capital were common investors in Flipkart and Myntra. Flipkart acquired Myntra in a $350 million cash and stock deal in 2014.
