MEESHO CASE DECISION SHEET

Summary:
More than 50% of Meesho's users are women business owners in an Indian internet
marketplace. These women operated their little businesses out of their homes without any
outlets and had modest incomes. Aatrey and Barnwal, who witnessed the difficulties Indian
women entrepreneurs had in starting and operating their own businesses, launched Meesho.
They faced a number of social concerns, including supply chain problems, heavy reliance on
male members for commercial affairs, and family commitments. Therefore, Meesho
developed Meesho supply in 2016. This was an idea to develop a supplier market area that
would be simple for female business owners to manage online stores.
This Meesho 2.0 had a process of entrepreneurs having access to a large catalogue, then
sharing of product images, negotiating of prices, then closing the deal. The product would be
supplied by the meesho supply chain or the third-party entity working for Meesho. There was
a steady growth in the number of registered suppliers and number of downloads, and by
2020, it had reached 18 cities and had 1800 registered entrepreneurs and 30 million
downloads. Its growth had attracted many venture capitalists for promising future growth.

Problem Statement:

To develop a strategy focused on growth to face strong competitors in the coming near future.

Criteria for Evaluation:

1. Increase in Net Promoter Score: The NPS was the impact of factors like delivery
time, rating/review, return percentage and so on. Only if an online platform had good
NPS, their app gets more download, and their business scales up.
2. Increase in users & their income: As seen above, the maximum percentage of users
are women entrepreneurs. So it is definitely required that they use the platform more
and their average earnings increase.
3. Cost of business: Meesho must also ensure that the cost they incur for the business
in logistics must be reduced and come up with a clear return policy to reduce return
and refund rates.
4. Increase in trust & awareness: Meesho must increase its impression of trust among
people and increase its own awareness to attract more users and registered
entrepreneurs. This way, they can increase their customer base as well as an increase
in revenue.
Evaluation of Alternatives:
1. Attract customers through an online purchase funnel sheet by acquisition,
activation, retention, referral and revenue. The company can come up with
strategies to convert maximum acquired customers to revenue.
2. Increasing the ease of doing business and coming up with more initiatives like the
meesho business academy can help boost the number of suppliers. By this, their
nature of work becomes streamlined and channelized so that it gives a good user
as well as customer experience
