Meesho noticed double sales in its first festival season sale. Meesho’s Maha Indian Shopping League was started on October 5 to October 10. “Looking on October 1 after the end of the 5-day sale, we had 2x sales every day, and if you compare it with a non-festive, the numbers are very higher,” Utrkrishta Kumar, Vice President and General Manager for Business, said.
