They have sent an e-mail as well on the same,” she said.
In a tweet, Avesta Foundation said: “Congratulations to our founder. She did it what apparently seemed impossible. Thank you, everyone, for your support. We’re overwhelmed by the response. Kudos to @myntra for addressing the concerns and respecting the sentiments of millions of women”.
Meanwhile, Twitter users decided to share memes and decided to have some fun with this news. They flooded the microblogging site with memes, pointing out other logos that might potentially be deemed offensive.
