Nagaram’s resignation comes days after Flipkart transferred Myntra’s business development head R Ayyappan to handle the business of Cleartrip, an online travel booking platform that Flipkart had acquired in April. Sharon Pais, head of loyalty and travel at Flipkart, has been named the new business development head of Myntra, replacing Ayyappan.

Nagaram was named CEO of Myntra in January 2019 after its previous head Anath Narayanan quit shortly after Walmart Inc completed the acquisition of Flipkart Group for about $16 billion in August 2018.
