Episode notes
Scale Through Discovery And Price Focus
- Meesho built scale by targeting price-sensitive Tier 2/3 India rather than premium metro shoppers.
- Its discovery-led feed and creator-driven shopping made browsing as important as search.
Content-First Shopping Engine
- Meesho's shopping experience is driven by browsing feeds, creative videos and creators, not product search.
- The company will use IPO proceeds to deepen its creator ecosystem and content-driven algorithms.
Small Segments, Big Potential
- Meesho is building logistics, grocery fulfillment, and payments as future growth pillars though current revenue is tiny.
- Small gains in these areas could disproportionately improve margins at Meesho's scale.
