Before you scroll, Meesho’s systems have already processed 2 trillion signals to decide what to show you. In an episode of Decoding AI, Anagh Prasad, Investor at Accel, sat down with Debdoot Mukherjee, Chief Data Scientist & Head of AI at Meesho, to unpack what building AI at true Bharat scale actually looks like. Two ideas stood out for anyone building consumer AI in India. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭: 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 A huge chunk of Meesho’s searches don’t look like clean Google-style queries. Someone looking for a fan might type “hawa denewala machine.” Traditional search systems struggle with this because the exact keywords don’t match. LLMs work better because they can understand intent and context, even when the phrasing is unusual. 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝: 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞. Meesho is already handling 60,000+ voice calls a day, but the interesting part is why voice works so well for Bharat users. Typing vernacular languages on a Latin keyboard is hard, spellings are inconsistent, and keyword search assumes users already know how to “query” a system. The real challenge isn’t just better models, but reducing friction between user intent and the system, whether through LLMs that understand messy natural-language queries or interfaces like voice that remove the need for typed keywords entirely. The companies that win in India will build around how Bharat naturally communicates, not how users are assumed to behave. The full episode is linked below.

When a room full of data scientists gets together, the conversations are anything but ordinary. 📊 Our latest Data Science Meetup at Meesho welcomed the community to our office for an evening of learning, collaboration and great conversations. The evening featured: • Deep dives into real-world data science and AI challenges, straight from practitioners building at scale • Thought-provoking discussions, fresh perspectives and plenty of ideas that sparked conversations beyond the sessions • Meaningful networking with a vibrant community of builders, problem-solvers and AI enthusiasts A big thank you to our host, Janardan Revuru, for a wonderful evening, and to everyone who joined us and made it so engaging.

Most conversations about AI in India centre on what is being built in labs and boardrooms. The AI for the Billion category shifts that lens entirely, to the people taking AI where it touches real lives, from classrooms and cinema halls to marketplaces and mobile screens across the country. AIM has released its flagship annual list, AIM 100: India's Most Influential People Shaping AI in 2026, recognising the 100 leaders who moved the needle on India's AI ecosystem through execution over the last 12 months. Out of ten categories spanning the full AI stack, we present AI for the Billion, the eleven leaders carrying AI into everyday India through payments, commerce, learning, creation and cinema, making intelligence accessible to people who were never part of the first wave of the technology revolution.

As companies scale, one question becomes the most important- Are you getting better, or just getting bigger? 🫂 At Meesho, we've chosen to focus on Talent Density, building an environment where exceptional people raise the bar for one another and drive business impact. Our latest blog written by Meesho's Talent Density Team (Past & Present) explores how this philosophy shapes the way we hire, grow, retain, and develop talent to build for the long term.

75%+ of orders on Meesho begin with AI-powered recommendations. But how do you build a system that knows what someone wants before they know exactly what they're looking for? 🛒 That's the story of PRISM. From solving personalization at massive scale to connecting millions of user interactions in real time, every breakthrough came from teams working across engineering, data science, product and business. 👉 Swipe to meet the team and learn how PRISM is reshaping product discovery at Meesho.

#StartupsWithMC | Search isn't how Bharat shops anymore; conversational commerce is the next e-commerce battleground': Meesho CTO Sanjeev Barnwal -Meesho focuses on conversational commerce & personalization. -AI drives 75% of orders via personalized feeds. -AI used in engineering, logistics, and customer support. Aryaman Gupta reports:  https://lnkd.in/gJMpDG_n #Meesho

In this exclusive interview, Sanjeev Barnwal, Co-founder and CTO of Meesho lays out a clear shift: The real competitive advantage in the AI era is not technology itself, but the ability to build systems that continuously learn, improve, and compound value. From PRISM powering 75%+ of orders through AI-driven feeds, to Chorus autonomously resolving 62% of customer queries, and Trust systems blocking millions of high-risk transactions, the focus is firmly on measurable impact, not experimentation. The bigger shift, he argues, is organisational: AI must move from standalone tools to embedded decision systems across pricing, logistics, discovery, and support, with feedback loops that make every interaction a training signal for the next improvement cycle. ✍- Musharrat Shahin 🔗 - https://lnkd.in/g4bwXpU8 #FEFutech #ArtificialIntelligence #AITransformation #Meesho #TechLeadership #DigitalTransformation #MachineLearning #AIEconomy #FutureOfWork #Innovation #Productivity #DataScience #IndiaTech #Ecommerce #CTO #BusinessStrategy
