Mumbai, July 1, 2025: To mark a decade of Meesho’s journey, the company added a fun twist with a special segment featuring Varsha, its in-house voicebot.
In a light-hearted and nostalgic conversation, Varsha playfully interviewed Meesho’s founders, Vidit Aatrey and Sanjeev Barnwal.
The celebration blended humor, memories and candid moments, highlighting the rationale behind starting the business, support the founders received from their respective families, the company’s journey, key milestones, challenges, also emphasising on the culture of innovation and fun that they have maintained at Meesho.

"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."

"Meesho turns 10 today.
It's surreal to think it all began in a tiny flat in Koramangala with the two of us, a dining table, and an idea we couldn't stop thinking about.
Back then, I had just returned from Japan, where I was working on high end camera systems at Sony. The tech was world class. But one question kept gnawing at me: Who was I building this for? More often than not, the answer didn't include the people I grew up around the ones who form the backbone of this country.
That question stayed with me.
When Vidit Aatrey and I started Meesho, we weren't chasing a market. It was more personal. We felt something was missing something that needed to be built for the many, not just the few. So we hit the road. Spoke to small sellers. Listened more than we talked. And slowly, a new path started to emerge.
We realised that if we could unlearn a few things and build with empathy, technology could shift the balance. So we did. And over time, that scrappy little idea became something much bigger, a platform millions rely on every single day."
As we mark this milestone, we took a moment to pause and reflect. And we did it in the most Meesho way possible by putting our own tech to work. Our AI voicebot, the same one that now speaks to customers across India interviewed us. It asked the questions. We just told the story.
We are 10 years in. Still learning. Still building. Still dreaming of what's next.
