From Day 1 to Day 100 at Mercari: A Journey of Growth and Memories
Aashutosh Agrawal When I first heard that Mercari was coming to our campus, I was excited but also a little nervous. It felt like a huge opportunity — and looking back now, I realize it was one of the best experiences I’ve had so far. The Beginning: Placement Journey The process kicked off with an Online Assessment (OA) consisting of two medium-level DSA questions. It tested not just speed but also our ability to think critically under pressure. After clearing the OA, I had my technical interview with Rajat, where we discussed coding approaches, problem-solving techniques, and a few OS and computer science fundamentals. What stood out was how the conversation was more collaborative than a “grill” session. Next was the managerial round with Atif, where the focus shifted towards understanding my motivations, how I work in teams, and cultural fit. It was refreshing to have an open, honest conversation rather than just technical questions. Finally, I remember the day I received the confirmation letter — a mix of relief, excitement, and pride. It was the start of something new. Day 1: A Warm Welcome The first day at Mercari was truly special. From being welcomed with a thoughtfully curated goodies kit to meeting fellow interns and full-time employees during the onboarding, everything felt smooth and personal. The highlight was the team dinner later in the evening — good food, casual chats, and laughter with people who, until a few hours ago, were complete strangers. January: Settling In, Learning the Foundations, and a Special Cricket Memory January was all about getting familiar with Mercari’s world and setting a strong foundation. We started with our common onboarding sessions — diving into essential tools like GitHub, Confluence, Slack, JIRA, understanding Mercari’s overall architecture, and exploring key repositories. These sessions were packed with… Continue reading From Day 1 to Day 100 at Mercari: A Journey of Growth and Memories

My Work Trip to Japan: Insights, Observations & Key Takeaways
At the end of January 2025, my colleagues from the XB Supply team and I finally visited Mercari’s Tokyo office after collaborating remotely with the Japan team for nearly six months. For two of us, including myself, it was our first visit to the Tokyo office after being at Mercari for over 1.5 years, while others had visited before. It was a great opportunity to move beyond Slack profiles and Google Meet headshots and connect with our past and present colleagues in person. Work, Strategy & Strengthening Collaboration The primary purpose of our trip was to participate in business strategy and feature planning for the year, focusing on XB (Cross Border) Supply. Another key objective was to strengthen collaboration by meeting colleagues from various teams working on the XB Supply mission, as well as frequent collaborators like the Shops(B2C) team. Building trust, improving communication, and fostering openness were crucial as we transitioned into the “Back to Startup” phase. In a startup environment, strong personal connections and close collaboration are essential. During our visit, we had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with several key teams, including the XB Supply product team, business development, design, analytics, marketing, and executives. We also connected casually over lunch with other XB engineers. A major highlight was a high-level OKR discussion with the entire Shops division, followed by a dinner with some of the Shops team members. One of the key moments of the trip was a full-day workshop where the XB Supply JP and IN teams came together to brainstorm ideas for the initiative. I also had the chance to reconnect with colleagues from my previous teams (Team Orion and LTVG). Beyond these meetings, it was insightful to physically attend the XB All-Hands and Japan All-Hands, experiencing the energy and alignment in person. I… Continue reading My Work Trip to Japan: Insights, Observations & Key Takeaways

Inside the manager’s mind : Gaurav Bansal
Welcome to inside the manager’s mind — a space where leadership meets reality. Explore the highs, lows, and everyday decisions that shape teams and drive success. From strategic thinking to people management, this blog offers raw insights and practical wisdom for those leading or aspiring to lead. In this feature we’d like you to meet Gaurav Bansal! Gaurav Bansal: As a manager, my constant focus is on solving challenges that my team faces. The key is staying aware of these challenges, acknowledging them, and taking decisive action. Let me share how I approach some common management challenges. Building Cross-Functional Collaboration When my team expanded from client-only developers to include Backend developers, I noticed collaboration gaps emerging. While client developers had strong relationships from working together for a year, the integration with Backend developers needed attention. To address this, we focused on creating a collaborative environment through regular team activities, including recent bowling and dinner events that helped break down barriers and foster natural connections. We’ve made significant strides in fostering technical understanding between teams. Our backend team now regularly shares insights about API performance, which has led to client teams implementing more effective loading states. Similarly, when client teams demonstrate user interactions, it helps backend developers design more intuitive API endpoints. These exchanges have transformed our team’s mindset from “That’s not my job” to “How can I help?” Maintaining Team Motivation Recognition plays a crucial role in keeping the team motivated throughout the development lifecycle. We celebrate joint wins and team contributions, making sure everyone feels valued for their unique contributions. Mercari’s employee-centric culture and various club activities provide additional avenues for engagement and motivation.Work-life balance is another cornerstone of our approach. We’ve implemented flexible working hours, understanding that some team members are early birds while others peak later in… Continue reading Inside the manager’s mind : Gaurav Bansal
