Social commerceTurned resellers and tiny sellers into an e-commerce engine for Bharat.
Vidit Aatrey co-founded Meesho to bring e-commerce to the parts of India the big platforms underserved.
What they built
Meesho let anyone — often women running businesses from home — resell products over WhatsApp and social apps, and gave small manufacturers a low-cost route to customers in tier-2 and tier-3 towns.
Why it matters for India
Meesho is one of the clearest bets on 'Bharat' — the price-sensitive, next-half-billion Indian consumer — rather than the metros everyone else fights over.
