Who Is Megha Agarwal? Meesho's Senior Executive Earning ₹2.29 Cr Resigns

Meesho, a popular Bengaluru-based e-commerce marketplace, has announced a leadership change that’s drawing attention across India’s startup ecosystem. On January 7, Megha Agarwal, a senior executive who played a key role in the company's growth, resigned from her role as Chief Experience Officer, according to official filings.

Who Is Megha Agarwal?

Agarwal’s journey with Meesho began in September 2019, and over more than six years, she took on multiple leadership responsibilities.

Early in her tenure, she served as Chief of Staff, then moved into roles such as Vice President and General Manager of User Growth, and CXO Growth before leading the Business/Experience function from October 2023.

Her role included overseeing engagement strategies, which included seller and user strategies and various other strategy-building techniques.

Educational Background

She earned a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering (Power) from IIT Delhi and a Master’s in Management from INSEAD, a globally recognised business school.

Before Meesho, she gained corporate experience with A.T. Kearney Consulting (India) and Nomura Financial Advisory & Securities (India).

In the financial year 2024-25, Agarwal’s total compensation at Meesho was reported to be around ₹2.29 crore, including a variable pay component, based on last year’s performance. This figure has been widely noted.

Leadership Transition in a Critical Phase

Her departure comes as Meesho navigates the early months after its IPO(Initial Public Offering) in December 2025, a major milestone that valued the company at several billion dollars.

Going public increases market scrutiny, investor expectations, and operational discipline. In such a period, changes in senior management naturally draw attention.

According to Hindustan Times, the Meesho IPO was fully subscribed on the first day itself, offering shares at ₹111 apiece for a valuation of $5.6 billion.

News of the resignation had a noticeable impact on Meesho’s stock performance soon after it was disclosed; however, resignations among senior positions are not uncommon in India, but it drew attention as to how the new trends are shaping the employment structure in the I.T (Information Technology) sector in India.
