REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/IllustrationBENGALURU, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Indian e-commerce startup Meesho has posted its first-ever profit and is targeting a stock market listing in the next 12-18 months, a senior company executive said in an interview. An initial public offering (IPO) is now being planned in the next 12-18 months, Bansal added. Meesho, which was founded by Indian Institute of Technology graduates Vidit Aatrey and Sanjeev Barnwal, clocked more than 1 billion orders in the last 12 months. Many Indian startups have fired thousands of employees and cut costs aggressively in recent months. Last week, Indian food delivery giant Zomato (ZOMT.NS) also posted its first-ever profit.

[1/2] A man walks past a logo of Amazon Prime Video during a launch event in Mumbai, India, April 28, 2022. Earlier, Amazon had announced a $6.5 billion investment plan, largely to boost its e-commerce business where it competes with Walmart's Flipkart and billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Retail. The new investment amount committed now comes to around an additional $6.5 billion. The e-commerce giant's announced investment during Modi's trip adds to other companies, including U.S. semiconductor toolmaker Applied Materials and memory chip firm Micron Technology, which have made commitments during the Indian prime minister's state visit. Modi and Jassy spoke about supporting Indian startups, creating jobs, enabling exports, digitisation, and empowering individuals and small businesses to compete globally, an Amazon blog post said.
