At Mercari India, we believe that true innovation goes beyond just tech - it's about uplifting our communities and making a meaningful difference in people's lives. Last week, we had the privilege of visiting Saanthvana Old Age Home, a sanctuary of love and care run by the compassionate couple, Dr. Kumada and Sridhar. Through their tireless efforts, they have created a warm, nurturing environment for our elderly citizens who deserve our utmost respect and support. As we interacted with the residents, listened to their stories, and shared moments of laughter and connection, we were reminded of the profound impact that simple acts of kindness can have. These seniors have paved the way for us, and it's our responsibility to ensure their golden years are filled with dignity, companionship, and joy. This CSR initiative was not just about donating resources - it was about building bridges, fostering empathy, and reminding ourselves that true success lies in the positive change we can create in our society. We are grateful to Dr. Kumada and Sridhart for their incredible work, and to the residents of Saanthvana for welcoming us with open hearts. This experience has further reinforced our commitment to being a force for good, using our capabilities to uplift and empower those around us. #CommunityFirst #TechForGood #Mercari India

We at #MercariIndia had a wholesome day at the Saanthvana Old Age Home in #Bengaluru. As a part of our CSR activity we chose to partner with this seven year old centre, run by a super couple, Dr. Kumada and Sridhar. Cheers to their inspiring work! #CommunityFirst #MercariCSR

This month, we held our first Family Day event in five years, welcoming over 1,000 family members and friends of Mercari members to our Tokyo office! The entire floor transformed into an event venue, with crane games and capsule toy machines, an opportunity for kids to experience working at our office cafe, workshops and demonstrations held by our research and development organization Mercari R4D, and more. It was a day of appreciation for the family and friends who support our members, and a great chance for them to experience the atmosphere that makes Mercari.

More from our #AndroidMeetup at Mercari India!

Every field has its challenges, and the QA universe is no exception! Big shoutout to Mesut Durukal, Chris Ding, and the Japan Test Community for handing me the mic to share my thoughts. A heartfelt thank you to Mercari, Inc. and Mercari India for crafting a workspace where I can voice my creative ideas without hesitation and tackle challenges head-on with the backing of some stellar mentors. Here's to embracing the hurdles rather than dodging them!

I had the honor of meeting with Prime Minister Modi. Ever since 2018, when Mercari expanded its hiring efforts overseas and welcomed around 30 new graduates from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) to work at our Tokyo office, we have had many Indian members contributing actively within our company. Today, more than half of Mercari's engineers are global members and Japanese language ability is not among our requirements for hiring, and the foundation for our overseas recruitment all started with this initiative for hiring new graduates from India. Two years ago, we launched a Center of Excellence in Bangalore with the help of our Indian engineers who were working successfully in Japan and returned to India to help establish the team. This has enabled us to collaborate smoothly with our development team in India and maintain our company culture across countries. In recent years, due to a shortage of engineers in Japan, many startups are rushing to recruit engineers from overseas. The exceptional talent pool of Indian engineers is particularly attractive, and more startups are not only hiring within Japan but establishing their own development centers in India. We had a meeting with Prime Minister Modi, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nukaga, members of the National Diet, and representatives from Japanese companies expanding in India, where I had the honor of speaking with the Prime Minister as the representative of a Japanese startup. I could feel the strong anticipation from both governments toward the role of startups in strengthening Japan-India relations, especially in the economic sector. Mercari is proud to be a part of this, and I am truly excited to see the startup ecosystem as a whole accelerate progress in these areas going forward!
