The e-commerce fashion giant Myntra on Saturday (January 30) changed its logo after a Mumbai-based woman activist approached the state cyber police to file a complaint alleging that the logo was offensive towards women. The complaint was filed by a Mumbai-based activist Naaz Patel in association with Avesta Foundation NGO.
Myntra's decision to change the logo has sparked a debate on the social media. While some have welcomed Myntra's decision, there are many others who said that such complaints are whimsical in nature.
Several netizens took to Twitter to make fun of Myntra's decision to change the logo.
