Meesho enables individuals to start online businesses by reselling products on its app. Resellers browse items from suppliers, share product listings on social media (like Facebook and WhatsApp), and earn a commission on each sale. The platform sources products and handles listings, while resellers promote them to their network with zero upfront investment and no need for their own inventory. Meesho earns revenue by taking a cut from transactions facilitated through the platform. Compared with traditional e-commerce, its strength lies in social commerce—lower barriers to entry, reliance on personal networks, and a pay-from-sales model, which differentiates it from sites that require inventory or upfront costs. The company’s goal is to democratize e-commerce by enabling anyone to start a business using social channels and Meesho’s app, driving widespread online entrepreneurship in India.

Meesho expects to create 10 lakh seasonal jobs during festive season. By PTI August 21, 2026, 12:56:05 PM IST (Published) E-commerce marketplace Meesho expects to create over 10 lakh seasonal job opportunities across its seller and logistics ecosystem to meet the surge in demand during the upcoming festive season. The projected employment generation includes approximately 6.5 lakh jobs across its seller network and about 3.75 lakh roles across its logistics operations. "The festive season is an important period for businesses across our ecosystem to scale up and prepare for increased demand. "This year, we expect to enable over 10 lakh seasonal job opportunities... Nearly 1.3 lakh sellers are expected to hire seasonal workers across packaging, manufacturing, production, warehousing and inventory management, as they build inventory, launch new products and expand their festive collections," Meesho said in a statement on Friday. In the logistics sector, Meesho's own logistics platform, Valmo, along with its third-party logistics (3PL) partners, will scale up capacity. The seasonal roles in this segment will span delivery, sortation, delivery centre operations, and supervisory functions. "The festive season continues to create meaningful economic opportunities across the ecosystem, enabling sellers and logistics partners to grow their businesses while creating jobs across India," Meesho said. The announcement comes as major e-commerce players in India gear up for their annual festive sales, which typically account for a significant portion of their yearly volumes.
Meesho saw 10.48 crore shares, representing 2.27% of outstanding equity, change hands in a block deal on Tuesday at an average price of ₹186 per share, valuing the transaction at ₹1,949 crore. Buyers and sellers have not been officially disclosed. CNBC-TV18 reported Monday that Peak XV Partners and Elevation Capital were likely sellers of the 2.3% stake. As of June quarter-end, Peak XV held 11.45% combined stake whilst Elevation Capital held 12.04%. The e-commerce platform reported first quarter revenue of ₹3,712.8 crore, up 48% year-on-year. Net loss narrowed to ₹132.8 crore from ₹289.4 crore the previous year.
Meesho reported a 48% year-on-year increase in quarterly revenue in Q1 FY2027. The India-based ecommerce company operates an asset-light model where sellers fulfill orders directly, avoiding warehouse ownership and keeping capital expenditure low. The firm has built its own logistics network through Valmo, launched in 2023, which partners with local courier operators and now handles roughly 50% of Meesho's logistics. This approach enables competitive pricing for value-conscious consumers in smaller cities. Meesho has earmarked IPO proceeds for acquisitions and recently bought Kirana Club, a B2B marketplace serving mom-and-pop stores beyond metros. The company maintains a zero seller commission policy whilst remaining open to further acquisitions aligned with its value-first strategy.
Delhi High Court cracks down on Meesho over Jockey trademark violation. The Delhi High Court has directed Meesho to remove listings of products that infringe Jockey's trademark, including "JOYKE," "JOYEBEE," and "JOYESS," which are confusingly similar to the registered "JOCKEY" mark. The court asked Meesho to remove the products on its platform within 36 hours. Meesho, an e-commerce site, was recently ordered by the Delhi High Court to remove listings of knicker items offered under names like "JOYKE", "JOYEBEE", "JOYESS", and "Joejoke". Preliminarily, the court found that they are confusingly similar to the "JOCKEY" trademark that is already in existence. The Delhi High Court further ordered that Meesho provide the identities of the sellers in an interim order that was issued on May 29. Jockey went to court, claiming that some Meesho vendors were selling innerwear with names confusingly similar to its trademarked one. The court subsequently issued the injunction. The listing(s) that Jockey claims infringed upon were found in January, and after submitting a cease-and-desist notice, further merchants using identical names were detected. Delhi HC giving 36 hours to Meesho. Within 36 hours of being directed by the Delhi HC, Meesho must block the listed listings. Within four weeks, the sellers' Know Your Customer (KYC) information, registration addresses, mobile numbers, UPI data, transaction records, and IP logs must be provided. According to a media source, the Defendants are using the marks in question for products that are confusingly similar to JOCKEY, the Plaintiff's registered trademark. It is highly probable that there would be confusion due to the similarity of the consumer base and trade routes. The sellers are prohibited from making, promoting, or selling goods that bear the contested trademarks as a result of the ex parte interim injunction that the Delhi HC granted. Diya Viswanath, Shobhit Agrawal, and Saif Khan were the solicitors representing Jockey. The next scheduled hearing is on September 24th. Meesho buys Kirana Club for INR 202 crore. In a June 12 announcement, e-commerce company Meesho Ltd stated that it has acquired Kirana Club Pte. Ltd and Retail Pulse Labs Private Ltd for a total of INR 202.08 crore. The acquisition is aligned with firm's objective to strengthen its foothold in India's thriving digital commerce environment. The acquisition will be paid for in three equal installments and must be finished by March 31, 2027. The Share Purchase Agreement and any necessary regulatory approvals will determine the final terms of the transaction. The purchase, according to Meesho, furthers the company's goal of making online shopping accessible to all Indians, especially in the country's underdeveloped kirana markets, which are vital to the retail sector. When the deal closes, Kirana Club will join Meesho as a fully owned subsidiary. Meesho will own 99.59% indirectly via Kirana Club and 0.41% directly in e Retail Pulse Labs, which will become a step-down subsidiary. For kirana stores, Kirana Club runs a community-led B2B commerce platform that lets users find, compare, and buy food and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) straight from manufacturers. More than 4.1 million kirana sellers in India have joined the platform's digital network. Kirana Club, a mobile-first marketplace strategy aimed at underdeveloped retail markets across Bharat, was founded in 2020 by Anshul Gupta and Aishwarya Jain. Approximately 90% of groceries sold in the $650 billion+ market are distributed through kirana and general trade channels, according to the company's platform.
Ashish Kumar Singh bids adieu to Meesho. Singh steps down after nearly six years, and will oversee transition as firm hunts for new people leader By HRK News Bureau June 26, 2026 2 Mins Read 426 Views Ashish Kumar Singh has resigned as chief human resources officer of Meesho, ending a close to six-year stint at the e-commerce company. The move was disclosed by Meesho in a stock exchange filing on 25 June, 2026. Singh came on board in December 2020 and led the firm's people and talent charter during a period of rapid scale-up, organisational redesigns, and its eventual move to the public markets. Addressing employees, Vidit Aatrey, co-founder and CEO, Meesho, reportedly noted that Singh built Meesho's HR team from zero, navigating hyper-growth, the public listing, and all the rough patches. Much of the company's current talent depth, culture, and HR systems reportedly come from Singh's efforts. Singh will stay around to ensure a smooth handover and help find his replacement. His exit is the second senior-level departure at Meesho this year, following CXO Business Megha Agarwal's resignation in January 2026. The company hasn't named a replacement yet. With over two decades in HR, Singh's prior roles include CHRO at Medlife and senior leadership stints at Myntra, Adobe, Unilever and Reckitt. Marking the exit on LinkedIn, Singh wrote on social media: "Six years ago I joined Meesho - a startup with a bold bet that social commerce could unlock e-commerce for Bharat. Today, as I close this chapter, it's a large, publicly listed company that has touched hundreds of millions of lives across India"
