Founder profile and story:

After completing his MS in Human-Computer Interaction from Indiana University, Deepak Bhagchandani was working for companies like Pearson Education and Amazon Inc in the US when he realised that millions of small businesses all over the world are still transacting offline and inefficiently. With an insight to revolutionise these businesses and a keen insight on creating a simple product design to enable them to become digital - he left the USA and came back to India to start QuickSell with a seed investment from Silicon Valley, US. With growing market demand from 1000s of customers, the company continues to grow into different verticals today.

Launched in 2013 and becoming the first Unicorn company in Japan, Mercari Group is a Japan-based corporate group operating in both Japan and the US. Our mission is to create value in a global marketplace where everyone can buy and sell.

Mercari is the largest marketplace platform with over 20 million monthly users in Japan. Through the Mercari app, users can sell their used or unwanted items to those who need them just by taking a photo and entering in some basic information. We are constantly developing our app to provide an environment where anyone can conduct transactions easily, safely, and securely. As part of these efforts, we have invested in the latest technologies such as AI and machine learning, and have released various functions such as escrow payment, AI listing, and barcode listing.

The app currently operates in Japan and the US, with 5.6 million monthly users in the US (as of 2022.3).

We have also successfully launched new businesses such as our mobile payment service Merpay. Today, Mercari Group is made up of multiple subsidiary businesses, including those involved in logistics, B2C e-commerce, blockchain, and sports team management.

Mercari India located in Bengaluru will harness the infinite power of technology to create high-quality service where our people come together to build products that will further strengthen our leadership position in a global product market.
