February 08, 2024 | 5 Min Read

Meesho’s new logistics tech platform, Valmo, onboards small businesses and gig workers to fulfil Meesho’s orders. While multiple e-commerce companies have tried and failed to do something similar, Meesho believes it has cracked the code.

Key Takeaways

Meesho has traditionally relied on the likes of Delhivery, Ecom Express, Shadowfax, Xpressbees, and others for order fulfillment
On Wednesday, it unveiled a logistics tech platform that will bring down its fulfilment costs by up to 5%
Meesho claims that about 20% of its daily orders are already being fulfilled through Valmo
While others have tried and failed, what could be helping Meesho’s cause is the category and customer profile it serves
