We’ve just released our first-ever Annual Report, showcasing the scale, resilience, and innovation we've built over the last 10 years. It reflects our mission to democratize internet commerce for every Indian and our belief that technology, when built right, can drive impact at scale.
Along the way, Meesho has hit several major milestones: the largest order volume and user base on a single e-commerce platform, India’s most downloaded shopping app for four consecutive years, and the country’s first cash flow-positive horizontal e-commerce company.
Here are some highlights:
📈: ~187 million Indians transacted on Meesho in 2024
📦: ~1.3 billion orders placed in just 9 months (between April to December 2024)
💰: Positive cash flow of ₹197 Cr in FY'24
🧠: Gen AI powering everything and driving efficiencies— from discovery to delivery
🛻: Valmo now handles ~50%+ of our orders, enabling local jobs and faster deliveries across India.
🚀: And 400,000+ annual transacting sellers growing with us across Bharat

I think this might be the best video interview / talk of mine that you can find online. Simply because it felt like chatting with a friend @nitinsharma1 vs a "fireside chat" or an "interview".
Minimal edits, maximum authenticity.

Pratilipi's journey has been bumpy but Singh's vision & story has still been the same: enabling access to readers & writers in Indian languages. My story on how the platform has been able to foster a reading culture in the age of reels and shorts: https://t.co/y8oQ7tPDd2
10 years of blood, sweat, and tears. 10 years of celebrations, joy, and hope. 10 years of standing up, falling down, and getting back up again.
10 Years of the Pratilipi dream.

Just a day more to go for our 10'th anniversary.
So, here is a look back all the way to our Series A pitch deck that was made in 2017.
First picture is why we ascertained that Pratilipi literature makes sense.
Second picture is what we said we really wanted to do.
@TeamPratilipi is nothing without its people. So, instead of sharing a chart or a metric today, today's story is about one of our people and his journey. From trying out 18 odd jobs in 4 years to finding the one that just kind of works ❤️
