Reinforcing Meesho’s substantial market presence, the company facilitated transactions for 14 crore customers; nearly 80% of the orders came from tier 2+ markets. 

According to data.ai, Meesho was the #1 shopping app in India, recording an impressive 14.5 crore app downloads in 2023*. Each user spent a whopping 449 minutes on the app shopping for their favorite items across a diverse array of offerings.

With e-commerce gaining steadfast momentum in tier 2+ markets, Meesho decodes India’s shopping cart: The Real Baazigar: There was no stopping a customer from Surat, Gujarat with a fondness for jewelry, who clinches the title for most orders placed on the platform- over 20,000 orders and counting! A growing desire for home improvement saw customers invest in furniture, fixtures and home decor to adorn their homes. As a category, Home Decor has grown 60% YoY. From torans and diyas, to the enchantment of Christmas, the enthusiasm for festive decor is shining brightly among Indian shoppers from Bhagalpur, Dindigul, Jorhat and Shahdol. 

Meesho To The Rescue: More than 67 lakh customers turned to Meesho to shop for hair fall control remedies. As awareness around self-care deepens, there is a discernible shift in consumer habits, with Beauty & Personal Care witnessing a 40% surge in growth.
