It all changed with a notification on the phone reading: ‘Rs 2,000 has been credited into your account!’

Since then, Sangeeta Mishra — a Meesho Entrepreneur from Hyderabad, has never looked back.

What had seemed like an impossible dream once, is now her full-fledged profession.

Not just Sangeeta, but many Indian women have found financial freedom by starting their online business from home, without having to invest a single rupee, on the Meesho platform.

“I started my business at 40 and within two years, I filed IT returns for the first time and gifted my son a bullet bike. ” — Nargis Sultana, Meesho Entrepreneur

These women, irrespective of their social or educational backgrounds, are challenging the prejudices attached with the title of a ‘Homemaker’. They can now seamlessly multitask between the kitchen and their online business on the Meesho app — with equal ease.

Meesho Entrepreneur Lavi Srivastav witnessed a life changing happiness along with her sense of purpose and identity restored! Watch her story below.

Kavita Khatadia could say NO! to credit card companies, as she is now empowered by Meesho with a steady income that she is proud of. Get inspired by her story below.

Nargis, Lavi and Kavita’s stories are just a few of the thousands of inspiring and life changing stories we hear at Meesho everyday.

Meesho has not only empowered more than 30 lakh Indian women to start their online businesses with zero investment, with just a phone, but has also given them a chance to be heard and take charge of their stories in the new India.
