Following a complaint that called it offensive against women, online shopping portal Myntra is going to change their logo. The complaint was filed by Naaz Patel from NGO Avesta Foundation in December last year and they demanded the Myntra logo be changed and appropriate action be taken against the company.

According to reports, Myntra has decided to change the logo after the complaint was lodged with the Mumbai Cyber police. Patel had also taken up the issue on various platforms and on social media.

"We found that the logo was offensive in nature for women. Following the complaint, we sent an email to Myntra and their officials came and met us. The officials said they will change the logo in a month's time," said DCP Rashmi Karandikar, Cyber Crime Department of Mumbai police.

Myntra is not only going to just change the logo on the website and the app, but they are also going to follow it through on their packaging material as well. The company has reportedly issued printing orders for packaging material with their new logo.
