Reportedly, she is married to Ankit Agarwal, who is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the fintech company Navi.

Megha has been associated with Meesho for over 6 years, having joined the company in 2019. During her tenure, she held multiple roles, including chief of staff, vice president and general manager - user growth, and CXO-growth, before she assumed the CXO (Business) role in October 2023.
