Upmesh offers a livestream commerce platform that captures orders from livestream comments, sends buyers checkout links, and provides analytics to surface best-selling products and buying patterns. Its tools integrate with social platforms such as Facebook Live and Instagram Live and include e-commerce functions and planned logistics automation. The company is launching a dedicated Instagram Live selling app and plans to double down on its live commerce product suite while building a community-driven discovery app for Southeast Asia. Since its seed round, Upmesh has nearly doubled its online merchant base in under three months and has been growing merchants roughly 30% month on month. In October the platform was used by almost 300 live commerce merchants across Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines and reported an annualized gross merchandise value of $40 million. Upmesh competes with marketplaces like Shopee and Lazada and SaaS tools such as Shopline, CommentSold and Dibsly. Upmesh provides tools that automatically capture orders from livestream comments, match them to a seller’s inventory and send checkout links. It currently works with Facebook Live but plans to add other platforms to become platform-agnostic. The product is tailored to different Southeast Asian markets, accommodating variations in inventory and selling practices across countries. Launched nine months ago by Wong Zi Yang, Soh Jan, Nhat Vu and Shawn Teow, the platform is used by almost 300 live-commerce merchants in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. Upmesh processes an annualized gross merchandise value of $40 million. The company plans to expand deeper into the Philippines and Malaysia, enter Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, increase headcount, run marketing campaigns and create educational content for sellers while building a discovery-driven community platform for live commerce.
