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.

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.

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.
