Redefining secondhand shopping for millions across Southeast Asia.

Founded by alumni of the NUS Overseas Colleges (NOC) programme, Carousell grew from a student idea into one of the region’s largest online marketplaces for pre-loved goods. Its simple, mobile-first platform made buying and selling seamless, empowering communities to embrace sustainable consumption.

Carousell reached unicorn status in 2021 with a valuation of US$1.1 billion, a milestone that reflects its impact on shaping the future of circular commerce.
