CEO Vidit Aatrey reshares a poignant post from a former Meesho employee who is now the companys founder as it makes its IPO debut.

One of Meesho's former workers, who is now the founder of Binary and SuperDM, sent an emotional statement reflecting on the company's journey as the company made a good debut on the Indian stock market on Wednesday.
As Meesho went public, Shikhar Saxena used X to show his appreciation and sentimentality. The IPO event served as a reminder of "the magical world of startups," according to Saxena, who began working for Meesho in 2018 as a product manager before moving up to group product manager.

"When I look back, the child in me is still amazed by the magical world of startups," Saxena said, recalling how, at a time when e-commerce behemoths Amazon and Flipkart already controlled the market, a tiny group of people banded together to tackle an issue "against all odds." "The e-commerce penetration was less than 5%, and nobody thought that a third e-commerce company could exist," he wrote.
Saxena went on to say that although business assessments would concentrate on strategy and execution, "the character of the people building the company" is frequently disregarded.

I met some of the most aspirational yet modest individuals in the startup community through Meesho. individuals with whom you would like to have a friendship outside of work. He added that working with the right people makes tackling challenging issues feel meaningful. "People that you want to work for years with even if the odds are stacked against you," he said.
Startups are about focusing on "insanely hard problems while being aware that you are most likely going to fail," according to Saxena, who described them as a group leap of faith. He continued by saying that success inspires others to start their own "impossible" adventures.

In closing, he expressed gratitude for having been "a small part of the Meesho journey" and expressed support for friends who had "toiled through the years to do the impossible."
"I'll always believe that there is another tiny group of people somewhere who will just randomly decide to fix one of the many problems in the world," he wrote.
As the business reached a significant milestone, Meesho CEO Vidit Aatrey echoed Saxena's feelings by reposting her remark.
