Myntra M-Now leans on 30-minute gifting for Valentine’s Day
Campaign targets planned and last-minute gifting across key Indian cities
MUMBAI: Myntra has rolled out a Valentine’s Day campaign for its instant delivery service, M-Now, positioning speed and convenience as central to how modern expressions of love are celebrated.
Moving beyond conventional romantic tropes, the campaign centres on four light-hearted films that spotlight friendships, family bonds and everyday gestures, all enabled by deliveries starting in as little as 30 minutes through M-Now.
The Valentine’s storefront on M-Now offers more than 10,000 trend-led styles across over 600 brands, spanning categories including western wear, beauty and personal care, footwear, accessories, décor, loungewear and innerwear sets. The service caters to both planned and last-minute gifting needs.
M-Now continues to see strong traction in tier-1 cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Pune, while adoption is rising in tier-2 markets including Patna, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Lucknow. High-demand gifting categories include watches, handbags, perfumes, jewellery, gourmet gift boxes, and beauty and fragrance gift sets.
According to Myntra, the films are designed to reflect how love shows up in everyday moments, from bromance and parental intuition to quiet appreciation and togetherness, with M-Now seamlessly supporting these spontaneous gestures.
“Valentine’s Day is a key gifting occasion, and this campaign mirrors how expressions of love are evolving,” said Myntra senior director of brand Abhishek Gour. “M-Now extends our promise of choice and convenience for time-sensitive gifting, backed by warm, relatable storytelling.”
Toaster Insea chief creative officer Ira G, said the campaign leaned into emotion and speed. “With deliveries starting in 30 minutes, M-Now became a vehicle for spreading love across different relationships,” she said.
The campaign reinforces Myntra M-Now’s proposition of instant access to gifting options, anchored by the line “pyaar baantte chalo”, and positions speed as a differentiator in the increasingly competitive quick-commerce fashion space.

Lululemon picks former Nike executive to be its next chief
Heidi O’Neill, who helped grow Nike into a $45 billion giant, will take the top job in September
CANADA: Lululemon has found its next chief executive, and she comes with serious credentials. The athleisure giant named Heidi O’Neill as its new CEO on Wednesday, ending a search that has left the company running on interim leadership since earlier this year. O’Neill will take charge on September 8, 2026, based out of Vancouver, and will join the board on the same day.
O’Neill brings more than three decades of experience across performance apparel, footwear and sport. The bulk of that time was spent at Nike, where she was a central figure in one of corporate sport’s great growth stories, helping take the company from a $9 billion business to a $45 billion global powerhouse. She oversaw product pipelines, brand strategy and consumer connections, and played a significant role in shaping how Nike spoke to athletes around the world. Earlier in her career, she worked in marketing for the Dockers brand at Levi Strauss. She also brings boardroom experience from Spotify Technology, Hyatt Hotels and Lithia and Driveway.
The board was unequivocal in its enthusiasm. “We selected Heidi because of the breadth of her experience, her demonstrated success delivering breakthrough ideas and initiatives at scale, and her ability to be a knowledgeable change and growth agent,” said Marti Morfitt, executive chair of Lululemon’s board.
O’Neill, for her part, was bullish. “Lululemon is an iconic brand with something rare: genuine guest love, a product ethos rooted in innovation, and a global platform still in the early stages of its potential,” she said. “My job will be to accelerate product breakthroughs, deepen the brand’s cultural relevance, and unlock growth in markets around the world.”
Until she arrives, Meghan Frank and André Maestrini will continue as interim co-CEOs, before returning to their previous senior leadership roles once O’Neill steps in.
Lululemon is betting that a Nike veteran who helped build one of the world’s most powerful sports brands can do something similar for an athleisure label that has genuine love from its customers but is still chasing its full global potential. O’Neill has done it before at scale. The question now is whether she can do it again.
