🌸 Happy International Women’s Day! This year, we are embracing the theme #AccelerateAction with a thought-provoking panel featuring inspiring women leaders from Carousell, Mudah.my, and Chợ Tốt. Women in male-dominated industries often face unique challenges—overcoming biases, breaking barriers, and paving the way for future generations. Our discussion highlighted these experiences, explored how diversity fuels innovation, and examined ways to break down invisible barriers while fostering inclusion in everyday interactions. A big thank you to our speakers Adeline L., Trang Tran Thi Thuy, Sandy Teo, and our moderator Natalie Lim for sharing their experiences! At Carousell, equality and inclusion is more than just having conversations—it’s about driving real change. We are committed to building a workplace where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute.💪

🌙✨As we welcome the holy month of Ramadan, we’ve observed that many Malaysians are starting their preparations for Hari Raya Aidilfitri—and secondhand shopping is becoming an even bigger part of the celebration. Over the past three years, Carousell Malaysia’s insights show a growing demand for preloved fashion from local designer brands, traditional wear, and home essentials in the lead-up to Hari Raya. From affordable festive fashion to home refreshes, more shoppers are turning to preloved finds for their uniqueness, value, and sustainability. Check out the key trends in our infographic below, and wishing everyone a blessed and meaningful Ramadan!

📱Anticipation for the rumored iPhone SE 4 drove a surge in searches, with Malaysia seeing the highest increase among our key markets. Although Apple introduced the iPhone 16e instead last week, interest in the SE lineup continues to rise, especially among younger users. Overall among all iPhone models, flagship models remain a popular choice for Malaysians seeking for quality and value—proving how the secondhand market makes premium tech more accessible. With every launch comes surprises, but one thing stays the same: secondhand is the smarter way to find the right iPhone at the right price. Check out the infographic below for key insights on Malaysia’s iPhone SE trends! 📊

We’re excited to be one of OpenAI's early research preview contributors for how its new AI agent, Operator, could unlock new possibilities for recommerce—enhancing convenience and discovery for buyers and sellers of secondhand items. Operator which can go to the web to perform tasks for you, has now launched its research preview in Asia, and we’re eager to explore its potential. At Carousell Group, we have been continuously reimagining online classifieds for an AI-first world—making buying easier with personalised recommendations, enabling faster selling with intelligent category and price suggestions, and strengthening trust through AI-powered moderation. Through this collaboration, we aim to uncover new ways to create more seamless and engaging experiences across our marketplaces, furthering our mission to make secondhand the first choice for everyone. While this remains an early-stage exploration, we’re excited about the possibilities ahead and look forward to learning from this journey.

💔 Breakups are tough… but they can also mark a fresh start this Valentine’s season. Instead of holding onto items tied to unwanted memories, many Filipinos have chosen to move forward by selling away these items on Carousell. Some of the most frequently sold items from their exes in 2024 are beauty products, luxury bags, women’s fashion, electronics and sneakers. Letting go isn’t always easy, but someone else might find value in what you no longer need. After all, one person’s past can be another’s new beginning! 💡 Curious about how Filipinos are decluttering after a breakup?
