Meesho's Milestone - 6 Lakh Unique Sellers on Its Platform

Meesho, a social commerce platform, has achieved a milestone of 6 lakh unique sellers on its platform. This accounted for a 7 times increase in seller registration since April 2021. Meesho's success lies in its focus on small towns with the initiatives such as zero commission and zero penalties. The company has also rolled out several initiatives to support women entrepreneurs.

Most of the sellers on this platform are from tier 2+ cities, which is a testimony that the internet can be a great equalizer. Meesho has digitized 4 Lakhs MSMEs and has helped over 1 lakh small businesses turn lakhpatis and over 5,000 into crorepatis since January 2021.

It is also a reminder that anyone can be a successful entrepreneur when given access to the right tools and platform.
