Meesho completes 10 years today. Ten years ago, we didn’t have an office. We didn’t even have an app. We had no playbook. No GTM plan. Just curiosity and a deep desire to solve. But we had one idea: what if e-commerce could work for the millions of Indians the internet had left behind? Back then, we were sitting quietly in shops across Koramangala, watching how real people sold and bought. On WhatsApp, through photos, with trust as their only infrastructure. We didn’t come from retail backgrounds. We didn’t know what “growth hacks” meant. But we learned. From homemakers. From shopkeepers. From sellers who were running businesses out of their homes long before they were called entrepreneurs. From those who joined us in the early years with raw belief, to those who came in more recently asking, "How can we do this better?", this journey belongs to you just as much as it belongs to us. Somewhere along the way, we found you : our team. The believers, the builders, the problem-solvers. To our engineers who built for low-end phones, not just the latest ones. To our business team who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with sellers across the country. To our growth, monetisation, and product teams who turned ideas into engines. To our logistics and fulfillment teams who ensured every delivery carried the promise of trust. To our legal, finance, ops, and support teams who kept us strong behind the scenes. To our HR team who shaped the culture that made all of this possible. To our new initiatives team who constantly asked, "What next?" To our shareholders, who supported us through all the pivots and tough decisions. And most of all, to the people who trust us every single day : our users, our sellers, and our logistics partners. You made this journey meaningful. Thank you. We’ve come a long way. From social selling to full-fledged e-commerce. From one seller to millions. From WhatsApp groups to AI-first platforms. But what hasn’t changed is why we started: to democratize access. To opportunity. To markets. To trust. As we mark this milestone, with cake, of course, we’ll also do what we’ve always done. Go back to the problem. Talk to a seller. Listen to a user. Sit with a Valmo partner. Learn from a creator. And ask ourselves: what more can we unlock? Because the future isn’t waiting. And at Meesho, we’re already building it together. @barnwalSanjeev @Meesho_Official
