• Meesho secures SEBI approval for its public listing
• Plans to raise $700-800 million through fresh shares and OFS
• Funds to be used for tech, branding, and future growth

E-commerce platform Meesho has received the green light from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to go public. The Bengaluru-based startup is planning an Initial Public Offering (IPO) worth approximately $800 million, with a target listing date set for December 2025.

Out of the total offering, about $480 million will be raised via fresh issue of shares, while the rest, around $250 to $300 million, will come from an offer-for-sale (OFS) by existing shareholders, including early investors and promoters.

Meesho plans to use the new capital to strengthen its cloud infrastructure, build brand awareness, and accelerate growth. The company has already carved a space in India’s competitive e-commerce sector by offering value driven products across multiple categories at low prices, making it a favourite among Tier 2 and Tier 3 consumers.

In financial year 2025, Meesho reported revenues of Rs 9,390 crore, showing strong year-on-year growth. However, it also posted a net loss of Rs 3,941 crore, primarily due to one-time expenses linked to shifting its base from the US to India.

With this move, Meesho is set to become one of India’s first large scale horizontal e-commerce marketplaces to go public. The IPO is expected to attract strong investor interest, especially as Indian markets show a growing appetite for digital-first consumer platforms.
