About the Company

Meesho

Platform enabling social reselling with commissions

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.
