E-commerce giant Meesho is currently involved in a legal dispute with Amazon Web Services (AWS) India, a major technology partner, regarding allegations of unpaid cloud service bills.

Based on Meesho's draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), AWS has initiated legal action through a three-member tribunal in New Delhi under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, claiming outstanding payments related to a Private Pricing Addendum (PPA) executed in February 2022.

AWS is seeking Rs 127.45 crore ($14.44 million) from Meesho, which includes "spend commitment shortfall payment amount, outstanding service fees, interest on the respective payments and the cost of arbitration". Meesho has contested the invoices, claiming "deficiencies in the services provided by AWS" and questioning the enforceability of the PPA's minimum commitment provision.

Through a counterclaim submitted on January 31, Meesho has sought Rs 86.49 crore, asserting business damages "due to disruption of business and inadequate support provided by AWS, salary costs incurred due to migration from services procured from AWS, along with interest and costs".

This conflict underscores Meesho's significant dependence on cloud infrastructure for operating its extensive value-commerce platform — spanning order processing to payment systems and recommendation engines. Such a disagreement with a prominent cloud service provider like AWS could result in operational and financial consequences for a business that handled 1.59 billion orders in FY25.
