Tiger Global and Peak XV Partners are leading the latest round, with a combined investment of $150 million.

Meesho is set to raise $300 million from Tiger Global and SoftBank, along with existing and other investors like Peak XV Partners and Mars Growth Capital. This is Tiger Global’s first major round in India since Scott Shleifer stepped down in November. This is one of the few large rounds for Meesho in the past 12 months.

Tiger Global and Peak XV Partners are leading a $150 million round in Meesho, with Peak XV and some limited partners expected to contribute $70 million. Tiger Global is a new investor, while Peak XV is an existing backer. Meesho’s current valuation is $3.9 billion, 20% lower than its previous 2021 valuation. SoftBank, an existing investor, is pushing $30 million for the remaining $150 million.

Meesho is relocating its base from Delaware to India, with a significant portion of the new capital being used to pay taxes before its upcoming IPO.

Meesho’s losses decreased from ₹3,251 crore in FY22 to ₹1,675 crore in FY23, while its revenue from operations increased by 77% from ₹3,232 crore in FY22 to ₹5,735 crore in FY23.
