About Us
Founded in 2013, Mercari is a leading C2C marketplace based in Japan, dedicated to our mission of creating a global marketplace where anyone can buy and sell. As Japan’s first tech unicorn, we went public in 2018 and have since evolved into a significant player on the global stage. Our journey has seen us expand not only into new markets such as the U. S. but also into innovative services like Merpay, a mobile payment platform that aims to empower individuals to realize their dreams through a comprehensive ecosystem focused on payment and credit services. Today, Mercari Group encompasses various subsidiaries, including logistics, B2C platforms, blockchain, and sports team management.
As we strive to make our services accessible worldwide, we recognize the importance of attracting top talent, which is why we are excited to launch the India Center of Excellence. Your expertise will help us continue our mission and solidify our position as a successful global tech company.
