Ananth Narayanan, CEO, Myntra & Jabong, said, "Big Fashion Gig will be an event unlike any other so far in the online fashion space. It brings with it, the largest curated collection of domestic and international brands with over 35 launches under one umbrella in a single day and is part of our strategy to offer a clear proposition beyond discounting, which has played a major role in the ecommerce sector so far. This is the first time a brand in the country has engaged with so many celebrities for an online fashion event. We expect 10 million users to participate in the first edition of BFG and are expecting to acquire over one lakh new customers. Traffic to our platforms is expected to witness a surge of over 3X over a normal day during the period and we are targeting over 3x in sales through this event."

There will be two editions of BFG in a year, during summer and the arrival of fall.
