Myntra tweaks logo after accusation of being insulting towards women

Upon meeting the Cyber Cell of Mumbai Police, which was acting on an activist's complaint, Myntra reportedly decided to tweak its logo.

On January 27, Myntra changed its display picture on Facebook. The new picture displays a slightly tweaked logo. Reportedly, the tweak was made because of an accusation against Myntra that the old logo was insulting and offensive towards women. The complaint was filed by Naaz Patel, Founder, Avesta Foundation at the Cyber Cell, Mumbai Police.
