Megha Agarwal, Meesho CXO with Rs 2.29 crore pay, steps down

MUMBAI: E-commerce firm Meesho has confirmed the resignation of Megha Agarwal, its chief experience officer for business, drawing the curtain on a six year chapter just as the company gets used to life on the stock market.

In a regulatory filing dated January 7, Meesho said Agarwal had stepped down from her role. No reason was offered for her exit, and the company added that details would be shared in due course, following standard industry practice. There was also no word on who might step into her shoes.

The timing is notable. Meesho is still basking in the afterglow of its December 2025 initial public offering, one of India’s bigger tech listings, and is settling into the rhythms of being a publicly traded company.

According to disclosures, Agarwal earned a total compensation of Rs. 2.29 crore in FY25. This included an annual variable pay of Rs. 9.4 lakh for FY24, which was paid out in the following financial year.

Agarwal joined Meesho after stints across consulting and finance. Her career has included roles at Nomura, where she worked in institutional fixed income sales, and at A.T. Kearney, where she rose from business analyst to associate. She began her professional journey with an internship at ITC, earning a pre placement offer after pitching a cost saving proposal that was later implemented.

Founded by Vidit Aatrey and Sanjeev Kumar, Meesho runs an asset light e-commerce platform focused on affordable fashion, home and kitchen products, beauty and lifestyle categories. By linking consumers with sellers, logistics partners and content creators, the company has carved out a distinct place in India’s value driven online shopping space.

For now, Meesho is keeping quiet on what comes next. As one senior leader exits and the IPO confetti settles, the market will be watching who takes the reins on experience at one of India’s most closely watched e-commerce stories.
