The road to success is a gradual one that calls for unwavering will and patience. One of the most innovative and exciting startup concepts that have developed into full-fledged enterprises is from India. One such example is Meesho, which places a strong emphasis on encouraging female entrepreneurs as one of the major factors in its success.

Vidit and Sanjeev created Meesho to be user-friendly, adaptable, and available since they were aware of the enormous potential and hidden skill among housewives and women in tiny towns. Meesho has enabled numerous women to achieve financial independence and follow their business aspirations by offering training, mentoring, and a simple marketing process.

Notably, Meesho was valued at $4.98 billion by Fidelity's funds in December 2022. Before then, the investor had valued Meesho as of September of that year at $4.29 billion.

Meesho was founded in late 2015, and its first office was a dining table in a small two-bedroom apartment in Bengaluru's Koramangala district. According to Financial Express, Sanjeev Barnwal has an estimated net worth of $2.1 billion or possibly more, which is a tribute to his business success.
