Over the past few months, we have seen many of our own Carousellers show resilience and resourcefulness through buying and selling, #MakingTheBest of this uncertain time. Some Carousellers sold preloved or handmade items to raise funds for various causes and individuals. Some had adapted creatively into entrepreneurs when their regular jobs were affected.

Running a start-up is no easy challenge, let alone during a global pandemic. Managing Director of Carousell Hong Kong William shared advice for new start-ups and young entrepreneurs on how to redefine challenges during this pandemic at HKTDC's Entrepreneur Day 2020. Watch his session to learn more about his three tips: 1) Be agile, 2) Be a good listener, and 3) Be alive.
Resourcefulness was a key trait observed during the pandemic as Carousellers turned to the platform to buy and sell preloved items and well as start new side hustles. Our Chief Commercial Officer Lewis shares with Forbes on how Carousell and our users are dealing with the crisis, and how encouraging it is to see our caring community blossom during this difficult time.

A new user behaviour study conducted by Carousell shows that Carousellers are more resourceful than they think and have adapted to the pandemic by making the best of what they have, through selling and buying.

Our Taiwan team partnered with 毛小愛 Fluv, SPCA and 10 top KOLs to host a flea market in our Taiwan office over the weekend. The KOLs raised more than NT$20,000 for the SPCA through selling preloved items at the three-hour event. Hundreds of users and their fur babies attended in support, and met others with a love for animals and secondhand fashion. We'd also invited a vet to provide free diagnosis as well. A big thank you to our partners and team for this event! #everyonewins #lifeatcarousell
