@yashydu Welcome back 😊

Moved to Bangalore. Pinterest worthy living room?

Incredible work by our tech team! Their relentless focus on solving real user problems led us to build BharatMLStack—a machine learning platform that powers real-time personalization, ranking, and decision systems at scale. Today, we’re open-sourcing key components of this stack to support developers, researchers, and startups across the country and beyond. It's our way of giving back to the ecosystem—and pushing the boundaries of AI innovation. Proud moment for all of us at @Meesho_Official. :link: GitHub: meesho.github.io/BharatMLStack/

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

Building great user experiences starts with strong tech foundations. At @meeshotech , we recently rebuilt our Ranking Platform to better serve millions of users with personalized shopping experiences. Do read this meesho.io/blog/rebuildin…

Reflecting on a transformative 2024 for Meesho! This year has been one of remarkable milestones, including achieving unprecedented scale and setting new benchmarks. A ~35% YoY increase in orders and maintaining our position as India’s most-downloaded shopping app for the 4th consecutive year are a couple of major highlights. At the core of this growth however lies our commitment to building scalable, cutting-edge technology that empowers millions of users across the country. Here are some key wins for Meesho Tech this year: 1️⃣ We revolutionized customer support by launching India’s first large-scale multilingual AI-powered Voice Bot, delivering personalized, human-like assistance in multiple languages. But our AI efforts go beyond support—language barriers, a core challenge for many users, are being dismantled on various steps of a user’s journey. Additionally, with AI-powered address translation and smart capture, we are enhancing delivery accuracy, streamlining the process, and enabling customers to seamlessly embrace the convenience of e-commerce. 2️⃣ Using deep learning, we continue to redefine user experience with AI-driven personalization. By analyzing preferences, demographics, and behavior in real-time, we are able to create intuitive, discovery-led experiences and deliver hyper-relevant recommendations tailored to each users’ needs, boosting app engagement and purchase intent. Our cutting-edge feed ranking AI processes ~7 trillion features in real-time, derived from more than 200 trillion data points, to create truly personalized shopping experiences. 3️⃣ With 175 million+ customers transacting annually and API traffic surging to ~650,000 requests per second, delivering seamless experiences remains our top priority. To meet this demand, we’ve significantly enhanced our tech infrastructure, ensuring scalability, reliability, and sustainable growth. Key improvements in app performance, experimentation, and scalability have future-proofed our systems. A standout achievement was Meesho Queue, a platform enabling efficient backend communication. By leveraging advanced data compression, M Queue reduced operational costs by 20–30%, setting new benchmarks for efficiency and scalability. As we step into the new year, I’m inspired by the potential of these bold initiatives that bring us closer to our mission of democratizing internet commerce for every Indian. Together, we are not just building a platform, we are shaping the future of digital commerce in India and fostering an ecosystem where every consumer and seller can thrive in the digital age.

What's happening with twitter

Our Mega Blockbuster Sale wrapped up yesterday, and the numbers were nothing short of astounding. Over the last 10 days, we saw record-breaking growth and adoption, with more than 145 crore customer visits on our platform along with 3 crore app downloads. What’s especially exciting is that over 75% of these visits came from tier 2+ cities, showing just how far our app has reached into the heart of India. For many of these users, this was their first experience with e-commerce, which highlights the immense potential for further growth in online shopping across the country. On the tech side, I couldn’t be prouder of what the team has accomplished. We navigated a whirlwind of emotions—from feeling confident about our sale readiness to handling minor glitches before the event, and then facing the adrenaline rush of the first 15 minutes as traffic surged. What really stood out was the way the entire organization came together, showing incredible ownership and teamwork to make this sale a success for shoppers from every corner of the country. A heartfelt thank you to all our users and partners for making this sale a massive success. Your support is invaluable as we continue working towards democratizing e-commerce for everyone in 🇮🇳

Nine years ago, Sanjeev and I started Meesho with a clear mission: to democratize internet commerce for every Indian . At the time, many couldn’t see the opportunity or the scale, as e-commerce seemed confined to the big cities. Fast forward to today, our recent Mega Blockbuster Sale is a powerful testament to that goal. We saw unprecedented growth and adoption as crores of users—mainly from tier 2+ areas—once again turned to our platform for their shopping needs. This not only reaffirms our commitment to expanding e-commerce into Bharat, home to the largest consumer base in the country, but also highlights the massive opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to make online shopping even more affordable and accessible for millions. This festive season, we beat industry estimates for e-commerce growth with a remarkable 40% increase in total orders compared to last year, fueled by: - 145 crore customer visits - 45% from tier 4+ cities - 2X growth in orders on Meesho Mall Our sellers also benefited immensely, with many doubling their revenue during the sale. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who trusted us with their festive shopping. We’re excited to keep this momentum going and continue delivering even more value in the future!🚀

Here’s a peek into the excitement and energy Meeshoites brought to our midnight bell-ringing ritual as we kicked off the Mega Blockbuster Sale today!🚀 Love the energy and excitement in office.
