Myntra, the lifestyle e-commerce platform backed by Flipkart, has begun piloting a two-hour delivery service called M-Now in select areas of Bengaluru, PTI reported.
According to the report, the initiative, which is currently limited to a few pin codes, aims to test the feasibility of ultra-fast deliveries in the fashion and lifestyle segment.
The pilot offers a curated selection of products to gauge customer response and operational efficiency. Based on insights gathered during this phase, the service could be expanded to additional locations.
A Myntra spokesperson confirmed the development, explaining that they had introduced M-Express to improve customer experience with deliveries within 24-48 hours, the report added.
Now, they are testing an even faster delivery service in specific pin codes and will evaluate the possibility of expanding it further base
The company’s earlier initiative, M-Express, was rolled out in 2022 across metro cities to provide expedited delivery within 24-48 hours.
With M-Now, Myntra steps into the growing quick commerce space, which is increasingly venturing into beauty and fashion categories.

Myntra's GenZ customer base doubles
Recently, Myntra doubled its GenZ customer base to 16 million in 2024 from over 8 million in mid-2023.
The growth was led by Myntra's GenZ fashion vertical FWD -- an app-in-app offering, it said.
"With the online trend-first fashion market expected to grow over 8x into a USD 5 billion market by 2028, FWD by Myntra is…taking charge in reshaping fashion for young India, reflecting Myntra's commitment to staying ahead of GenZ's rapidly evolving trends and preferences," a company statement said.
Flipkart-owned Myntra looks forward to adding another 20-25 million GenZ, born during the late 1990s and early 2000s, customers in the next couple of years, it added.
