Some quick facts about Meesho that I got to know over the internet and it was intresting to not these numbers which I am just about to share. As stated in the summary table above the IPO at a valuation of around ₹50,000 crore. The company been around for like 10 years since the company started in 2015, and the bitter truth is that it is still making losses.
- 2023: ₹1,671 crore loss
- 2024: ₹327 crore loss
- 2025: ₹3,941 crore loss
Just in case if you have been thinking that Meesho will become profitable, then let me remind you - Flipkart was founded in 2007 and even today, it has made ₹5189 crore losses. So it’s better to keep your expectations realistic. Considering all of this the best part is that the Meesho’s IPO got fully subscribed on Friday the 5th December, 2025 - with final subscription at 79.02 times. Good for the company. Now coming to my strategy then to be honest, I have not applied for the IPO and I plan to look at the company’s performance once it gets listed before making any further decisions. As there is a lot of hype and I dont see it a point to take risk here and whereas my plan is to buy Meesho under Rs.90 per share. Hence it is a wait and watch game for me at this point and later I’ll decide based on how the stock performs and the broader market sentiment. For now its no investment in Meesho. Well this should be it for todays post on - "Meesho IPO - Did You Subscibe - My Strategy for the Meesho IPO..." Happy Investing and let me know your thoughts about the Meesho IPO Invested Vs waiting for now... Cheers
