    will grow its workforce by up to 16,000 workers, both directly and indirectly,

    celebrated in small groups for over two years, the holiday is likely to be
    observed in all its splendour this year. We are working nonstop to meet the
    tremendous demand from our clients who are anxiously anticipating to purchase
    on Myntra for their holiday necessities."
