Founding Story
Sanjeev Barnwal co-founded Meesho in 2015 alongside Vidit Aatrey. Recognizing that massive e-commerce giants like Amazon completely ignored rural India, he built the highly optimized, low-bandwidth mobile app that allowed millions of housewives to easily resell cheap, unbranded clothing directly through WhatsApp and Facebook.
