Mumbai, January 8, 2026: Meesho Limited (BSE: 544632, NSE: MEESHO) shares came under sharp selling pressure on Thursday morning, falling 5 percent to ₹164.48 in early trade, as investors reacted to back-to-back senior management changes disclosed by the company.
The stock opened lower at ₹172 and failed to recover through the session, touching an intraday high of ₹172 before sliding to the day’s low of ₹164.48. The decline wiped out ₹8.65 per share from the previous close of ₹173.13. Volume-weighted average price during the session stood at ₹165.51, indicating sustained selling across levels.

Senior Management Reshuffle in Focus​

The selling pressure followed disclosures made late on January 7 confirming changes within Meesho’s senior management team. The company announced that Milan Partani, previously serving as General Manager – User Growth and Content Commerce, has assumed a new role as General Manager – Commerce Platform, while continuing as part of the senior management personnel. The role transition took effect from January 7, 2026 .
Separately, Meesho also confirmed that Megha Agarwal, General Manager – Business and a senior management personnel, tendered her resignation from the company on January 7, 2026. The resignation marks an exit at a leadership level, adding to near-term uncertainty around execution continuity .

Order Book Signals Heavy Sell-Side Pressure​

Intraday order book data reflected overwhelming sell interest, with sell quantities dominating the tape and limited buy depth visible near the ₹164–165 range. Market participants noted that such imbalance often indicates short-term risk aversion, particularly when accompanied by management exits.
