Ashish Kumar Singh has resigned as chief human resources officer of Meesho, ending a close to six-year stint at the e-commerce company. The move was disclosed by Meesho in a stock exchange filing on 25 June, 2026.
Singh came on board in December 2020 and led the firm’s people and talent charter during a period of rapid scale-up, organisational redesigns, and its eventual move to the public markets.
Addressing employees, Vidit Aatrey, co-founder and CEO, Meesho, reportedly noted that Singh built Meesho’s HR team from zero, navigating hyper-growth, the public listing, and all the rough patches. Much of the company’s current talent depth, culture, and HR systems reportedly come from Singh’s efforts. Singh will stay around to ensure a smooth handover and help find his replacement.
His exit is the second senior-level departure at Meesho this year, following CXO Business Megha Agarwal’s resignation in January 2026. The company hasn’t named a replacement yet.
With over two decades in HR, Singh’s prior roles include CHRO at Medlife and senior leadership stints at Myntra, Adobe, Unilever and Reckitt.
Marking the exit on LinkedIn, Singh wrote on social media: “Six years ago I joined Meesho — a startup with a bold bet that social commerce could unlock e-commerce for Bharat. Today, as I close this chapter, it’s a large, publicly listed company that has touched hundreds of millions of lives across India”
