Remember standing in a crowded market & negotiating with the store owner for a better price? What if you didn’t have to do that anymore?🤔
Our latest TVC tells you just that. Get the lowest cost for a range of products, because Meesho pe sab “Sahi Sahi Lagaya Hain!”
Quote Tweet
Ekdum sahi sahi lagaya hai!
Meesho's new TVC brings focus to our one true north, our users. And as a user-first company, we aim to establish ourselves as a one-stop destination with the widest selection - ending India's search for the 'sahi price!' (1/2)

We believe SMEs will play a pivotal role in shaping the e-com landscape over the decade. While e-com is ~$40B market today, it still accounts for <5% of overall retail sales. That will change as SMEs, which dominate the retail sector, continue to digitize.

India’s social commerce sector will be two times the size of the current ecommerce market in 10 years”, driven by formats ranging from conversational commerce to video-led, or a vibrant reseller community.
