Megha Agarwal, Meesho CXO with Rs 2.29 crore pay, steps down
MUMBAI: E-commerce firm Meesho has confirmed the resignation of Megha Agarwal, its chief experience officer for business, drawing the curtain on a six year chapter just as the company gets used to life on the stock market.
In a regulatory filing dated January 7, Meesho said Agarwal had stepped down from her role. No reason was offered for her exit, and the company added that details would be shared in due course, following standard industry practice. There was also no word on who might step into her shoes.
The timing is notable. Meesho is still basking in the afterglow of its December 2025 initial public offering, one of India’s bigger tech listings, and is settling into the rhythms of being a publicly traded company.
According to disclosures, Agarwal earned a total compensation of Rs. 2.29 crore in FY25. This included an annual variable pay of Rs. 9.4 lakh for FY24, which was paid out in the following financial year.
Agarwal joined Meesho after stints across consulting and finance. Her career has included roles at Nomura, where she worked in institutional fixed income sales, and at A.T. Kearney, where she rose from business analyst to associate. She began her professional journey with an internship at ITC, earning a pre placement offer after pitching a cost saving proposal that was later implemented.
Founded by Vidit Aatrey and Sanjeev Kumar, Meesho runs an asset light e-commerce platform focused on affordable fashion, home and kitchen products, beauty and lifestyle categories. By linking consumers with sellers, logistics partners and content creators, the company has carved out a distinct place in India’s value driven online shopping space.
For now, Meesho is keeping quiet on what comes next. As one senior leader exits and the IPO confetti settles, the market will be watching who takes the reins on experience at one of India’s most closely watched e-commerce stories.

KKR sixes to power EV charger rollout under VIDA campaign
Cricket meets clean mobility as big hits spark India’s charging growth
NEW DELHI: VIDA, the electric mobility arm of Hero MotoCorp, has teamed up with Kolkata Knight Riders to launch a campaign that turns cricketing flair into real-world impact.
Titled ‘6 for 6’, the initiative promises to install a 6kW fast EV charger for every six hit by KKR during the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The idea is simple but powerful, as each big hit on the field contributes directly to expanding India’s fast-charging infrastructure.
The campaign builds on VIDA’s growing network, which already spans over 5,300 fast-charging points across more than 430 cities. With EV adoption gaining pace, the brand is using cricket’s mass appeal to accelerate both awareness and infrastructure growth.
Explaining the thinking behind the move, Hero MotoCorp emerging mobility business unit chief business officer Kausalya Nandakumar said, “Cricket has an incredible ability to unite and inspire millions across the country. With the ‘6 for 6’ campaign, we are turning every big hit on the field into a step towards a cleaner and a more accessible mobility future.”
She added that VIDA’s expanding fast-charging network and removable battery technology are designed to make EV ownership more convenient and practical for everyday users.
From the franchise’s side, the campaign is also about giving on-field moments a larger purpose. Kolkata Knight Riders chief executive officer Venky Mysore said, “The ‘6 for 6’ campaign exemplifies the potential of sport as a platform for meaningful, real-world impact. By linking every six to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, this partnership transforms fan excitement into tangible progress.”
As part of the rollout, VIDA has introduced co-branded charging stations in KKR’s signature colours, with a flagship installation unveiled alongside team players. The chargers are designed for quick top-ups, powering VIDA scooters from zero to 80 percent in about an hour, while also being positioned along key highways to support longer journeys.
The initiative also taps into VIDA’s removable battery system, which allows users to charge using standard household plug points, adding flexibility to the charging ecosystem.
By blending the thrill of cricket with the urgency of clean mobility, VIDA and KKR have found a neat way to make every six count twice, once on the scoreboard and again on India’s road to an electric future.
