Introduction
I’m Saaransh Gupta, an undergraduate at Thapar University and currently an SDE Intern at Meesho. For a bit of context, Thapar is a Tier 2 institute located in Patiala, Punjab, offering a diverse range of courses across engineering, sciences, mathematics, and liberal arts. I am part of the Class of 2026, pursuing my Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering.
The recruitment process for our six-month internship began in August 2025. Meesho was among the first companies to arrive on campus, scouting for SDE-1, Data Science, and Business Analyst roles.
My journey with Meesho has been as smooth as it could be so far. The company focuses heavily on creating people-centric policies and workflows, ensuring everyone feels truly valued within the company culture.
The Pre-Onboarding
My interview process wrapped up in the first week of August, followed by regular communication from the Campus Onboarding team via email. They truly prioritize the candidate experience, you can expect greetings for every festival and consistent relationship-building through emails from the moment you receive your hiring confirmation.
The Perks
The perks start rolling in from the point of hiring. Meesho covered my flights via Air India Express and my first 14 days of accommodation at the Fairfield by Marriott in Bangalore, which is a fantastic stay located right near the office. They also provide relocation assistance, which you can reclaim once you formally join the company.
The Onboarding
On your first day, you are introduced to the top management, who dive into the quirky and unique ways Meesho operates. They set clear expectations and provide your first real insights into how a major corporate organization functions.

Naturally, you get an onboarding kit to kickstart your first day. You can check out the LinkedIn post above to see the full contents. Everyone receives a laptop tailored to their specific profile; I was set up with a Mac M4 Pro on day one.
The Fun
The campus onboarding team ensures you settle in perfectly, making sure you’re fully immersed in the "Meesho Experience." They plan sessions with the CEOs, Directors, and Vice Presidents to introduce the company’s way of working and what makes it great. If time permits, they even keep things lively with interactive fun sessions.
The Office
By far the best part is the office itself. It is equipped with top-tier tech, of course, but there are also gaming stations, pool tables, TT corners, and even a golf turf. The tech park where Meesho is located is beautifully designed and aesthetically perfect for some night photography.
I am currently in the middle of the onboarding sessions and busy exploring everything the campus has to offer. I’ll be writing more about my time at Meesho as I grow with the company.
