Myntra has expanded its international fashion presence with NEXT after securing franchise rights for the UK’s largest fashion retailer. Meanwhile, NEXT plans to tap into the vast market of the Asian nation, where conglomerates like Reliance and Tata are also increasing their presence in the clothing market.
This partnership allows NEXT to access the vast, varied, and continually evolving Indian market. Through an arrangement with Myntra Jabong Pvt Ltd, NEXT can distribute its products wholesale, facilitating the brand’s efforts to build a robust consumer base through various independent third-party franchise partners and distributors.
NEXT, a leading UK fashion brand, has granted Myntra Jabong the rights to distribute and oversee its products. Additionally, the e-tailer will enhance NEXT’s omni-channel presence in India, as announced by the company.

During the initial years of operation, 8-10 NEXT stores will be inaugurated in key Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, complemented by a robust online presence on the Myntra platform.
The partnership enables NEXT to venture into the vast Indian market.
