“We have been aggressively ramping up our product teams (with mobile expertise) and have been constantly on the lookout for quality talent both in India and the Bay area. The Native5 team has built a hybrid development platform for mobile and we are keen to use their expertise to strengthen our mobile offerings,” Myntra Chief Product & Technology Officer Shamik Sharma said.
Myntra had earlier acquired Fitiquette, a San Francisco based technology solution that acted as a state-of-the-art virtual fitting room.
