About Vidit Aatrey
Vidit Aatrey is the co-founder and CEO of Meesho, which has revolutionized the way India shops, sells, and starts a business. A graduate of IIT Delhi, Vidit started his journey with a stable job at ITC followed by a stint at InMobi. But his passion was always to create something of his own; something that could make a difference. And years later with Meesho he has certainly lived up to his dreams.
It was in 2015 that Vidit began Meesho from a modest apartment in Bengaluru with his college mate Sanjeev Barnwal using not much more than grit and belief. What was initially a simple proposal to enable small businesses to sell online quickly evolved into a social commerce revolution. At the helm of Meesho, he has empowered more than 15 million entrepreneurs who are predominantly first-time sellers and women entrepreneurs in non-metro cities. While most e-commerce platforms strive to sell high-end fashion, Meesho is a blessing to the small entrepreneurs who can dream big even in a three-tier town.
Vidit's aim has always been evident- build for Bharat, be simple, and remain near to your users. Meesho did not get conceived from a fancy thought, but due to practical issues and the urge to address them in a manner which suits the masses.
Now, he heads Meesho with the same passion and integrity; and he does it with an unshakeable conviction that good companies do not merely make money, they make an impact.
