In India, 90% of commerce occurs in small mom-and-pop stores, and many aspiring entrepreneurs lack the capital to start their own businesses, which Meesho addresses by providing a platform for them to sell online.

If Meesho didn't happen, I would focus on building products for tier 2 and tier 3 audiences in India.

Meesho allows anyone in India to start and grow a social store on platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, enabling them to sell products without needing upfront capital.

Over the last three years, Meesho has attracted nearly half a million monthly active social store owners who sell across various categories, including fashion, lifestyle, food, and cosmetics.

Meesho's growth strategy includes continuously solving complex problems and expanding the range of products available to resellers, which has led to increased income for users.

Meesho leverages community trust by enabling local entrepreneurs to sell unbranded products, which helps overcome consumer skepticism about quality and reliability.

In 100 years, I hope Meesho remains user-focused and continues to build scalable products that impact lives in unimaginable ways.

The average user of Meesho is typically a woman from tier 2 or tier 3 cities, often with no prior business experience, who aspires to start her own venture without needing initial investment.

Starting Meesho with my co-founder was my best decision, as it allowed us to navigate the ups and downs of building a startup together.
