MMeesho 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 Q2 results: loss narrows to Rs 132 crore YoY, revenue rises 34%. , ETMarkets.com Last Updated: Oct 28, 2026, 06:00:00 PM IST Meesho's Q2 FY27 net loss narrowed 67.8% to Rs 132.45 crore, while revenue surged 34.4% to Rs 4,131.58 crore. Rising user engagement, stronger merchandise value, improved contribution margins and festive-season demand supported growth amid elevated spending. E-commerce platform Meesho reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 132.45 crore in the September quarter of FY27 (Q2FY27), which has narrowed 67.8% from Rs 411.36 crore loss in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. Revenue from operations rose 34.4% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 4,131.58 crore in Q2FY27, compared with Rs 3,073.67 crore in Q2FY26. * Meesho ltd.

On a sequential basis, the company's net loss remained broadly flat at Rs 132.45 crore, compared with Rs 132.84 crore in the June quarter. Revenue from operations rose 11.3% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to Rs 4,131.58 crore from Rs 3,712.81 crore. EBITDA loss stood at Rs 229 crore, compared with Rs 225 crore in the previous quarter. The e-commerce marketplace reported growth across key operating metrics during the quarter. Annual transacting users increased 21% YoY to 284 million, while last-twelve-month (LTM) purchase frequency rose 7% to 10.4. First-time buyers grew 16% sequentially, while annual transacting sellers increased 60% YoY to 1.13 million. Placed orders rose 17% YoY to 819 million, while net merchandise value (NMV) grew 23% to Rs 12,911 crore. Sale timing shifts festive demand into Q3 Meesho said its Mega Blockbuster Sale (MBS), which took place in Q2 last year, has shifted to Q3 this fiscal year. The change in timing is expected to make the September-quarter growth appear softer than the underlying trend, with the December quarter likely to show a stronger year-on-year comparison. The company said the two quarters should be assessed together to better understand its performance during the festive season. India's shopping patterns follow the festival calendar rather than fiscal quarters, with demand building through Navratri and peaking around Dussehra and Diwali. This year, Dussehra fell about 19 days later than last year, shifting part of the festive demand build-up from Q2 to Q3. On a festive-aligned basis, comparing the 90 days preceding Dussehra in both years, NMV grew 33% YoY. NMV also increased around 11% sequentially in Q2, despite the absence of the Mega Blockbuster Sale, indicating continued demand momentum, the company said. Meesho added that NMV grew faster than placed orders partly because temporary inefficiencies arising from consolidation in the third-party logistics industry had affected deliveries in the year-ago quarter. Those inefficiencies did not recur this year, allowing a larger proportion of customer orders to be delivered. The company also pointed to rising purchase frequency alongside growth in new users as an indicator of improving customer engagement. LTM frequency rose 7% to 10.4 even as first-time buyers increased 16% QoQ. Contribution margin improves to 6% Meesho's contribution margin increased to 6% of NMV in Q2FY27 from 4.6% in the previous quarter. The company said it plans to reinvest part of these efficiency gains into improving the experience for users and sellers, adding that the contribution margin could moderate in the near term as a result. LTM free cash flow stood at negative Rs 565 crore, while LTM free cash flow to equity was negative Rs 163 crore. Quarterly free cash flow was Rs 345 crore, supported by seasonal working-capital movements. The company reported a cash balance of Rs 7,048 crore. As indicated in the previous quarter, Meesho increased growth spending to bring more users onto its platform. The company expects spending to remain elevated during the festive sale period and the weeks around Diwali. Meesho Mall expands branded offerings Meesho Mall hosted around 1,800 brands during Q2FY27, with NMV growing 81% YoY. In Tier 3 and smaller cities, NMV on the platform increased 89%. About half of the customers who purchased through Meesho Mall during the quarter were first-time buyers on the platform. The company said its commission-free model enables brands to reach customers without paying commissions, while allowing shoppers to access genuine branded products at affordable prices. The product mix on Meesho Mall is also evolving. Initially, branded purchases were largely concentrated in essential products such as soap, shampoo, detergent and diapers. These purchases helped establish customer trust, the company said. Customers are increasingly moving towards discretionary categories, including face serums, sunscreens, conditioners and face rollers, indicating a broader range of consumption in smaller towns. Meesho said its scale allows it to identify emerging consumption trends, regional preferences and changes in shopping habits across smaller markets. It shares these insights with brands to help them understand customers and plan their expansion across the country. Content commerce NMV grows 160% Meesho's content-commerce NMV increased 160% YoY in Q2FY27, while the number of content pieces generating orders rose 144% to 2.2 million. The company said content is increasingly becoming a part of the purchase decision, with customers discovering products through creators they relate to and buying after watching them demonstrate or use the products. More than 400,000 sellers are now part of the content-commerce ecosystem. The model enables sellers to reach new customers, helps creators earn from their content and gives shoppers another way to discover products. Meesho said creators earn when their content results in a purchase, aligning incentives across customers, sellers and creators. Sudhir Sitapati appointed independent director Separately, Meesho's board approved the appointment of Sudhir Ganesh Sitapati as an additional director in the capacity of non-executive independent director for a five-year term, from October 28, 2026, to October 27, 2031, subject to shareholder approval. The appointment followed the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee at its meeting on October 16, 2026. Sitapati has confirmed that he meets the independence criteria under the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI's listing regulations. He has also confirmed that he has not been debarred from holding office as a director by the Securities and Exchange Board of India or any other authority and is not related to any of the company's directors. Meesho said it remains watchful of the macroeconomic environment, citing the prolonged geopolitical conflict, rising raw-material and fuel prices, and continued pressure on household budgets. However, the company said customers turned out in strong numbers during the festive season and spent on products beyond basic necessities, giving it confidence in the direction of consumer demand in India. For Q3FY27, growth spending is expected to remain elevated through the Mega Blockbuster Sale and the weeks around Diwali, in line with the company's usual festive-quarter pattern. Technology costs are also expected to remain higher until ongoing optimisation initiatives take effect. Meesho cautioned that year-on-year growth in Q3 would appear stronger than the underlying trend because of the shift in the timing of the Mega Blockbuster Sale. The company said it would provide a combined view of Q2 and Q3 performance alongside its December-quarter results. It added that it would continue strengthening its operating model by reinvesting efficiency gains while gradually improving free cash flow generation. Ahead of the results, Meesho shares ended Wednesday's trading session on the NSE at Rs 227.84 apiece, up nearly 1.9% from the previous close of Rs 223.58.

Find out how the company plans to balance its long-term merchandise targets with shifting contribution margins. Former Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) chief executive Sudhir Sitapati joined e-commerce platform Meesho's board as an independent director, giving the company a veteran of Indian consumer goods as it pushes to grow while earning more on every order. Meesho co-founder and chief executive Vidit Atrey announced the appointment in a post on X on Thursday October 29. "Delighted to welcome Sudhir Sitapati to Meesho's Board as an Independent Director," he wrote. Atrey said Sitapati's two decades at Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and his time leading Godrej Consumer Products gave him "a deep understanding of Indian consumers". Sitapati, in a LinkedIn post on Thursday, said his conversations with the company had left him "gob-smacked" and expressed confidence in its long-term potential. He recalled a friend, "a doyen of the VC/PE industry", telling him Atrey was "a once in a generation CEO". He said he felt privileged to have a "ring side view" of what he believed could become one of India's great companies. Sitapati's appointment came as Meesho continued to build its position in India's e-commerce market with a model aimed at value-conscious shoppers and sellers. He spent more than two decades at Unilever, holding senior roles across foods, refreshments, skin cleansing and fabric cleaning. He then became managing director and CEO of Godrej Consumer Products in October 2021, running the company's business across emerging markets. The company told CNBC-TV18 that its growth rate stood at 34% in a like-for-like comparison. On revenue, it said advertising by sellers and logistics brought it income, with logistics the larger share, and that it no longer charged a platform fee. Meesho said it was focusing on improving its contribution margin and free cash flow. It expected its contribution margin of 6% to ease to 5.5% in the third quarter, while retaining a long-term target of 8-10% of net merchandise value (NMV), the value of goods sold on its platform.
