Hi Aditya, Mesh is using Adv extensions under the hood if you have Łukasz's patch and enable BLE_EXT_ADV and set BLE_MULTI_ADV_INSTANCES to at least 1. Blemesh_shell has a command "init" which initializes mesh stack and starts advertising Unprovisioned Mesh Beacon.
I tested this now and I noticed a bug. Here is a patch for that bug: https://pastebin.com/gbyX8H56 Please apply it on top of Łukasz's branch. Hope that helps. Let us know how it works for you.
