πŸ‘‰ Product integrations unlock new user bases through strategic partnerships


From insights obtained for ICPs, best way to reach them is via social media and streaming platforms like instagram, youtube and OTT platforms. These are the places where they spend most of the time, and where they consume fashion content such as influencer posts, lifestyle content, short reels, and tutorial videos. Also, these potential users are also influenced by friends and families.

Detailing Content loops

Content Loop


Myntra’s users are mostly young, fashion-conscious folks who spend a lot of time on Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest. They scroll for style suggestions, follow influencers, and love short, fun fashion videos. They enjoy sharing their looks and joining style challenges online.

  • Hook: Style #Hashtag challenges, trendy outfit reels, polls like β€œWhich look are you?” etc.
  • Content Creator: Regular users, fashion influencers, and Myntra’s own team.
  • Distribution Channel: Instagram, YouTube, Myntra Studio, and even WhatsApp shares.

  • New users get inspired and join in
  • Loop repeats and grows

By encouraging users to join in and be featured, Myntra creates a fun loop of content β†’ sharing β†’ more people discovering Myntra.

Proposed Loop : "Frame It with Myntra"


Hook : The moment a user sees something they like and wants to get a friend’s opinion β€” they take a screenshot. That urge to share a product quickly is the hook.

Content creator: Screenshot taken by Users, Frame added by myntra

Distribution Channel: WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, iMessage, and other chat apps where users share screenshots.


Myntra (1).png

NB: Pop-up for adding the frame when taking screen is inspired from LinkedIn feature where it give a pop-up to share the profile when taking screenshot in the app.

Value created

  • Friends search for the product, visit Myntra, and possibly purchase.
  • Users habitually use the screenshot feature to share more products in the future.
  • The saved image in the gallery can be searched using "Myntra" in the Photos app, increasing recall value.


Why This Works?

βœ… Low friction: Users naturally take screenshots, so it doesn’t feel like an extra step.
βœ… Brand recall: The Myntra frame keeps the brand top-of-mind even when the image is saved in the gallery.
βœ… Social commerce: People rely on friends’ opinions before purchasing, making this feature a seamless shopping enhancer.
βœ… Viral potential: The more people share screenshots, the more Myntra spreads organically.

Detailing Referral / Partner program

​Referral System Overview


Myntra offers a attractive referral program seasonally that rewards users with monetary rewards (Myntra credits or cash-in) or discounts/coupons when they invite friends to the platform. Based on our ICPs and user call insights, we observed clear motivators for both the referrer and the referee:

Referrer Motivators

  • Earn money or Myntra credits for future purchases.
  • The joy of recommending trendy styles and exclusive offers.
  • Sense of social status from helping friends find the right fashion.

Referee Motivators

  • A welcome gift for their first purchase.
  • Access to trending and exclusive brands and other features.


Referral Flow


Myntra (1).png


Referral discoverability
  • After a successful purchase.
  • On the order delivery confirmation page. (Only if its not their first order)
  • On profile section under β€œEarn with redeem.”
AHA Moment

The moment users complete a smooth purchase or receive a well-packaged, fast-delivered order is when the product truly shines. This is the best time to nudge users with a referral prompt.

Platform Currency

Myntra currently offers "MynCash" or coupon credits to referrers and referees. Based on user psychology, these reward types work because they tap into:

  • Dopamine: Instant gratification of receiving a reward.
  • Monetary reward : Referees get credit or discounts that can be used for other purchases


Experience for the Referee

When a referee clicks on the referral link:

1. They are taken to a beautifully designed landing page that highlights the discount.

2. Once signed in, the discount is auto-applied on their first eligible order.
