Going public brings greater accountability to investors and new challenges in balancing quarterly expectations with long-term growth, Meesho CEO Vidit Aatrey and Groww CEO Lalit Keshre said at the ET Startup Awards 2026 in Bengaluru.
Recalling Meesho’s first annual general meeting (AGM) as a public company, Aatrey said retail investors, including a retired couple, told him they had invested their life’s savings in the company.
