According to a TechCrunch report, "Google has held discussions to invest over $50 million in Indian social commerce startup Meesho".
When reached, Meesho declined to immediately comment on the report.
Google, which has pledged to invest $10 billion in India, currently backs Indian startups like DailyHunt, Glance and others.
Meesho has Facebook, SoftBank, Sequoia Capital India, Y Combinator and others as its investors.
In April this year, Meesho raised $300 million (over Rs 2,200 crore) in a new round of funding led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, taking its valuation to $2.1 billion.
"We are focused on expanding our vision -- from helping aspiring women entrepreneurs to creating Meesho as a single ecosystem that will enable all small businesses in India to succeed online," said Vidit Aatrey, Founder and CEO of Meesho.
The company had said it has delivered orders from more than 100,000 registered suppliers to over 26,000 pin codes in more than 4,800 cities, generating over 500 crore in income for individual entrepreneurs.
