Wednesday 06 May 2026 - 13:45

Indian e-commerce platform Meesho reported a sharp reduction in its quarterly losses, supported by strong growth in order volumes, rising revenues, and improved operating margins.

Strong growth in orders and revenue

During the fourth quarter, Meesho recorded significant expansion in its business activity, driven by both new customer acquisition and increased engagement from existing users. The total number of orders rose substantially year-on-year, reflecting sustained demand across its platform.

Revenue from operations also increased markedly, highlighting the company’s ability to scale its marketplace while maintaining competitive pricing for consumers.

Margins improve as costs ease

The company’s financial performance benefited from improved contribution margins, supported by a normalization of logistics costs after earlier disruptions in the sector. This helped reduce overall losses compared to previous periods.

Industry analysts note that logistics efficiency remains a key factor for profitability in the e-commerce sector, particularly in price-sensitive markets like India.

Expanding user base

Meesho reported continued growth in its user base, with millions of active customers contributing to higher transaction volumes. Increased purchase frequency among existing users also played a role in boosting performance.

Outlook amid uncertainty

Despite the positive results, the company cautioned that macroeconomic uncertainty could affect performance in the coming quarters. However, Meesho reaffirmed its strategy of investing in user acquisition and long-term growth initiatives.
