Meesho appoints Divyesh Shah as Vice-President – Engineering

He will lead the Supply, Monetization and Fulfillment and Experience (F&E) engineering teams at Meesho, the company said.

Divyesh will oversee Meesho’s efforts in using technology to build solutions that will further enhance user experience on the platform, it added.

Divyesh, who joins Meesho with over 16 years of work experience, worked at companies like Google and Uber in the US.

He started his career at Google building containers on Linux which are now utilized by most large Linux deployments, and later went onto build TV ads and Analytics for Google Fiber.

More recently, his teams built the product platform for Google Assistant.

In between these Google stints, he also worked at Uber where his teams solved complex problem statements related to Marketplace Health, AdTech Data & Measurement and Vehicle Solutions.

“Divyesh brings a wealth of experience to our talented Tech team and we’re really pleased to have him join us. Right from our very first conversation with him we could sense his enthusiasm towards our mission statement of democratizing e-commerce for every Indian and we’re confident that his skill set & leadership will help Meesho scale newer heights in the near future.” said Sanjeev Barnwal, Founder and CTO, Meesho.

“After spending the last 16 years working in the US, I was keen to return home and be a part of the Indian tech ecosystem,” Divyesh Shah said.  “Of all the opportunities, Meesho stood out because of the scale at which it operates, offering the opportunity to serve a large underrepresented demographic.”

The latest appointment will strengthen Meesho’s Tech leadership team as the company looks to onboard more users and increase its presence in India’s underserved markets, Meesho said.

Earlier this year, the company announced the appointment of Debdoot Mukherjee as Chief Data Scientist to oversee their efforts to make every pillar of the e-commerce marketplace smarter and more efficient with the use of AI.
