My co-founders and I have ambitious goals for Carousell because we know that the world needs a product like ours. There are so many things that are underused but that might find use with someone else. Carousell has also become a platform that aspiring entrepreneurs use to sell their products. ‘We’re less than 1 percent done’—this is Carousell’s motto.

We believe in leveraging the global workforce because we want our team to have different perspectives in order to ensure exciting, constructive discussions. We currently have more than 20 nationalities on board. The most difficult part about my job is finding the right people to hire, understanding what motivates everyone, aligning expectations and, most importantly, building a habitat where people can learn, progress, share their views and feel psychologically safe.

My advice to budding entrepreneurs is to start small and soon. You don’t need to have the perfect plan to start because, as LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman once said, ‘If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.’
