E-commerce platform Meesho opened its initial public offering (IPO) today, drawing strong interest from investors. The launch comes as India’s value-driven e-commerce segment gains momentum, with consumers gravitating toward lower-ticket purchases, unbranded products and regional sellers, which are categories where Meesho has built a dominant presence.
Meesho IPO: User Growth And Market Position
The platform’s annual transacting user base expanded 46 per cent between FY23 and FY25, outperforming India’s overall e-commerce shopper growth of 11–20 per cent during the same period. In FY25 alone, 10.9 crore users shopped on Meesho, with 17.4 crore coming from outside the top eight metros.
Meesho IPO: Valuation And Financial Highlights
Analysts note that Meesho’s valuation, approximately 5x FY25 revenues, remains aggressive yet consistent with its rapid expansion in the value e-commerce space. The company’s logistics arm, Valmo, continues to be a key driver of operational efficiency, coordinating multiple last-mile partners and lowering fulfilment costs.
Contribution margins have risen by 200 basis points over two years to 4.9 per cent, supported by an increase in prepaid orders and Valmo-led efficiencies, according to ET.
