Meesho Limited reported a consolidated net loss of ₹132.8 crore for the first quarter of FY27 (quarter ended 30 June 2026), nearly halving its year-ago loss of ₹289.3 crore, even as revenue from operations surged 48.3 per cent year-on-year to ₹3,713 crore. The social commerce platform attributed the growth to a sharp rise in orders and transacting users, according to its stock exchange filing.
Key Financial Metrics
Meesho's EBITDA loss narrowed to ₹224.7 crore in Q1 FY27, an improvement from ₹264.4 crore in the same period last year. Revenue from operations climbed from ₹2,504 crore in Q1 FY26 to ₹3,713 crore, reflecting the company's accelerating monetisation trajectory despite continued losses.
The company's free cash flow over the trailing 12 months improved to negative ₹537 crore from negative ₹633 crore in the previous quarter — a signal that cash burn is gradually moderating.
Operational Highlights
Meesho's Net Merchandise Value (NMV) grew 34 per cent year-on-year to ₹11,614 crore in the June quarter, while marketplace revenue rose 48 per cent to ₹3,707 crore. Annual transacting users climbed 29 per cent year-on-year to 274 million, with purchase frequency improving to 10.3 transactions per user on an annualised basis.
Total orders placed during the quarter rose 29 per cent year-on-year to 725 million. Contribution margin expanded by 54 basis points sequentially to 4.6 per cent of NMV, while marketplace adjusted EBITDA improved to negative 1.2 per cent of NMV. Prepaid orders accounted for approximately 37 per cent of all shipped orders during the quarter.
AI and Grocery Expansion
Dhiresh Bansal, Chief Financial Officer at Meesho, said: 'AI is becoming foundational across every layer of our business, from product discovery and seller growth to logistics and engineering.' The company has positioned artificial intelligence as a core driver of efficiency and scale across its platform.
Separately, Meesho announced an investment of ₹75 crore in its subsidiary, Meesho Groceries, reinforcing its push into the grocery segment — a category where competition from Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart is intensifying.
Stock Performance
Ahead of the earnings announcement, Meesho's shares closed 0.48 per cent lower at ₹188.95 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), broadly in line with the benchmark Nifty index, which declined 0.53 per cent. The stock has, however, gained nearly 5 per cent year-to-date, outperforming several new-age tech peers.
With losses narrowing and user metrics strengthening, Meesho's path to profitability is coming into sharper focus — though the grocery bet and sustained marketing spend will test that trajectory in the quarters ahead.
Point of View
But the headline loss reduction flatters a business still burning cash at scale. The more telling figure is the EBITDA loss of ₹224.7 crore — improvement, yes, but not a company anywhere near operating leverage. The ₹75 crore grocery investment is a logical adjacency, yet it enters a market where Blinkit and Zepto have entrenched supply chains and brand recall. Meesho's edge is its Tier-2 and Tier-3 user base; whether that translates to grocery stickiness, where delivery speed matters more than price, remains unproven. The 5 per cent YTD stock gain suggests the market is pricing in a profitability inflection — a bet that the next two quarters will need to validate.
