Carousell is a free mobile application that allows anyone to buy and sell online. It was founded in 2012 by three friends, Siu Rui Quek, Marcus Tan, and Lucas Ngoo, after an internship at Silicon Valley. In just seven years, the three founders grew their start-up into a US$500-Million company and the company is well on its way to becoming one of the US$1-Billion start-ups in Southeast Asia.

Aside from the mobile app, users can also access the platform through a web browser.
