Carousell is one of the world’s largest and fastest growing mobile-first, person-to-person marketplaces that makes selling as simple as taking a photo. In the words of Quek Siu Rui, one of the co-founders of Carousell, “Anyone who knows how to take a photo or text with a smartphone essentially knows how to buy and sell on Carousell.”
Featured globally as a Favourite app on Google Play, and ranked Singapore’s No.1 Lifestyle and Shopping app, Carousell is a hit amongst youth and young adults as a popular online shopping destination. In Singapore, users often browse Carousell for price comparisons before purchasing items at retail stores. With listings offering bargains at up to 80% off retail prices, Carousell is a wallet-friendly marketplace for shoppers of all ages.
Over 8 million listings have been created on Carousell, with millions of items successfully transacted. Popular items include high street fashion, beauty products and lifestyle gadgets. Backed by leading international Venture Capitalists Sequoia Capital, Rakuten, 500 Startups, Golden Gate Ventures and QuestVC, the Carousell mission is to inspire millions worldwide to start selling.
The team hopes that Carousell will help people to declutter their homes and adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle by buying and selling underused or unused items instead of throwing them away.
