For the full year, adjusted EBITDA came in at minus ₹1,178 crore or 2.8% of NMV, compared to minus ₹117 crore in FY25. The company attributed most of this widening to deliberate spending on new user acquisition, logistics disruption costs in the middle quarters, and investments in AI infrastructure and engineering talent.

The company also said it remained India’s most downloaded shopping app during FY26 and recorded 2.67bn placed orders during the year, up 45% from FY25. Order frequency improved to 10.1 transactions per consumer annually.

AI-led Push and Bharat Focus

In its shareholders’ letter, founder and chief executive Vidit Aatrey said Meesho was positioning itself as a technology-first company focused on removing barriers to e-commerce adoption in India.

The company highlighted multiple AI-led initiatives, including “PRISM”, its recommendation engine, and “Vaani”, a voice-based shopping assistant designed for vernacular and first-time internet users. Meesho said more than 75% of orders now come from AI-driven personalised feeds, while Vaani crossed 1.5 million users within its first month.
