Bharat’s festive shopping experiences with Maha Indian Shopping League.
To truly democratize internet commerce,
we have lowered entry barriers and improved ease of business for
sellers, enabling more local businesses across the country to join us
and sell online. This ultimately improves access to a range of quality
products for all Tier 2+ shoppers. Today 5% of Indian
households shop with us every day, and we’re expecting to make festive
shopping a simpler, more rewarding experience for many more.”
Offering
quality products at the lowest prices, the company looks to go deeper
into India’s underserved markets and has expanded its category offerings
to automotive accessories, pet supplies,
sports and fitness. In the last 6 months, Meesho has seen its monthly
transacting users grow by 2.8x while monthly orders rose by 2.5X, 40% of
Meesho’s new users from the same period were also 1st-time e-commerce
