Q4 FY26 Highlights
What Drove Profitability
IPO Timeline
Meesho re-filed its confidential DRHP in March 2026 and is now expected to launch its IPO by Q3 FY27 at a target valuation of $8–10 billion, depending on market conditions.
Why It Matters
Profitability removes the single biggest overhang on Meesho's IPO narrative and validates the zero-commission, ads-led monetisation model. The result also strengthens the case for Indian social commerce as a structurally distinct category from horizontal e-commerce.
