Our Story
Meesho was started by Vidit Aatrey and Sanjeev Barnwal with the idea to enable mom & pop stores to sell online in 2016. They soon realised that their primary users were actually sellers who did not own a shop, but sold through their social network. They realised that this is how small businesses will work in the future and built a product to democratise social commerce and enable literally anyone to start their own venture.
They quickly pivoted to enabling social sellers/entrepreneurs monetise their network by providing supply, logistics and payments infrastructure. From its humble beginnings six year ago, Meesho has successfully enabled over 15M+ individual entrepreneurs to start their own online businesses with zero investment, bringing e-commerce to more than 45M+ customers across India. Till date the company has delivered orders from 100K+ registered suppliers to over 26,000 pin codes in more than 4,800 cities, generating over INR 500 crore in income for individual entrepreneurs and serving customers in more than 4,500 Tier 2+ cities — truly bringing e-commerce to Bharat. Meesho is Series E funded and has raised $300 Million in a fresh round of investment in 2021 led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, the world’s largest technology-focused venture capital fund.
The funding round also saw participation from existing investors such as Prosus Ventures, Facebook, Shunwei Capital, Venture Highway and Knollwood Investment. The latest round of investment means that Meesho’s valuation is now at USD 2.1 billion taking it to unicorn status. Meesho is headquartered in Bengaluru, India and was one three Indian companies to be selected for YCombinator in 2016. We were in the first batch of Google Launchpad - Solve for India programme.

Will I get holidays for my college end-semester exams?
Yes, we would suggest you discuss this with HR during your interview process so that the team can plan.
Can I work remotely?

Are the programming questions restricted to specific languages?

What will happen in case there is an issue with my computer or internet connection?
If there is an issue with your computer or your Internet connection, you will not lose your previously submitted answers. They will be saved on servers. You can log in again and continue coding from where you stopped.
However, the timer will continue running, which is why it is advised that you ensure that your computer/Internet connection is working properly before you begin the challenge.
Is it possible to change my submission after I have submitted a question?
HackerRank Test: Yes, you can edit and submit the solution to a question (that you can view and edit) any number of times before the challenge completion time window closes. This rule applies exclusively to HackerRank tests. Some tests have timed sections, and after the time limit is reached, you will not be able to revisit questions in that section.
NextLevel Screening Test: In the NextLevel mobile app, once you answer a question, you cannot go back.
How does the time limit work?
Your program must read, process, and output the result for all input files within the specified time limit.
The input file will be of the format that is specified in the problem. This means that if each input file contains multiple test cases, then your code must pass all the test cases within the specified time limit.
What happens if I indulge in plagiarism?
We take cheating/plagiarism very seriously and don't entertain such practices. All online tests are validated with plagiarism detection software and your entry will be rejected if flagged by the software algorithm.
Will I receive the results of the challenge? If yes, when?
