Where India Meets Japan: Inside Mercari’s New Office, Built to Inspire
Author: Manjunath Raghavendra, India Corporate Head The first thing you notice when you step out of the elevator into Mercari’s new India office at Embassy Tech Village (ETV), Bengaluru is not the furniture, the lighting, or even the view. It is the Mercari wall, the mission statement, and the lobby items – actual products sold on the Mercari C2C marketplace – bold, visible, and impossible to miss. They set the tone before anyone has even reached their desk. These are not just decorative elements; they are a statement of intent: a daily reminder of who we are, what we value, and why the work happening here matters. Welcome to Mercari’s new home in India – a workspace designed to bring together Indian energy, Mercari Japan culture & values, and a global outlook under one roof. A Vision Rooted in Purpose Every great office starts with a question: what is this space actually for? For Mercari India, the answer was clear: create a workspace that empowers our India engineering teams to build and deliver products for users around the world. Not just a place to sit and work, but an environment designed to help people focus, collaborate, experiment, and do their best work every day. That vision evolved into a design concept with an Indo-Japanese touch, supported by global elements throughout. The idea was to honor Mercari’s Japanese roots while celebrating the vibrancy and pace of India – and to do it in a way that reflects how Mercari operates today: across borders, across cultures, and with teams building for a global user base. The result is not a Tokyo office transplanted into India, and not a space disconnected from where Mercari began. It is a genuine meeting point – a physical expression of collaboration between India and Japan, shaped by… Continue reading Where India Meets Japan: Inside Mercari’s New Office, Built to Inspire

We’re here: Mercari India has a new home
The wait is over. Four years in, we’ve moved into a brand-new office in Bengaluru – and we’d love to show you around. Our new home, in the heart of Bengaluru. Four years ago, Mercari India began with a small team and a big ambition: to build a world-class team in India that could help power Mercari’s global mission. Today, we’re marking our fourth anniversary with the milestone we’ve been waiting for – a new address. We’ve officially moved into our new office on the Mercari India, 8th Floor, Zinnia 8C, Embassy Tech Village, Outer Ring Road, Kadubeesanahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560103. It’s bigger, brighter, and built around the people and culture that have come to define Mercari India. So – the wait is over. Here’s a look inside. A new address, and a new chapter Since opening our doors in 2022, Mercari India has grown into a community spanning engineering, product, platform, AI, People, and corporate functions. As the team grew, so did a simple question: what kind of space could carry us into our next chapter? This new office is our answer – not just more room, but a fresh start designed around how we actually work and who we are. Step inside Reception – with our mission. Step out of the lift and you’re welcomed by a curved white reception desk, a softly backlit mercari logo, and a sweeping wall of wooden shelves filled with real finds – the kinds of things people buy and sell on Mercari every day. There’s a Kashima Antlers jersey, plush toys and collectible figures, trophies, framed art, books and little potted plants, each one a reminder that behind every listing is a person, a story, and a second life for something well-loved. Look around and the mission that guides everything we do… Continue reading We’re here: Mercari India has a new home

When One Model Isn’t Enough: Building Multimodal Adult Content Detection for Mercari B2C
Abstract Every B2C product listing on Mercari must be screened for adult content before it reaches buyers. We built a multimodal ML pipeline that analyses both product images and listing text to make these decisions at scale. This post describes the system’s design: a custom PyTorch fusion model that combines MobileNet V2 image embeddings with Japanese BERT text embeddings, run in parallel with third-party API, with an OR gate combining their outputs. We cover our choice of fusion strategies (concatenation MLP vs. cross-attention), why we decided to run two independent classifiers rather than relying on one, and what we found when we attempted to improve performance by sub-classifying adult contents into finer-grained categories. We also outline the offline evaluation framework used to validate these decisions. Content Moderation on a B2C Marketplace Managing the scale of Mercari’s B2C catalog involves screening millions of listings, where every entry consists of seller-uploaded imagery and unstructured Japanese text (titles, descriptions, and category metadata). Ensuring these listings adhere to our safety policies is paramount, with adult content detection representing one of our most critical moderation challenges. The fundamental difficulty lies in the fact that “adult content” is a spectrum rather than a discrete binary class. On one end, we find unambiguous violations: explicit imagery or text that is clearly prohibited. At the other end, however, are edge cases where the content is benign in isolation but becomes problematic when combined. For instance, a piece of lingerie photographed on a mannequin is a standard product shot. The same garment, described with sexually suggestive language, shifts the listing into a different category. An art book containing classical nude paintings is a legitimate product. A cropped detail from one of those paintings, listed without context, raises different questions. This nuance implies that relying on a single modality, whether… Continue reading When One Model Isn’t Enough: Building Multimodal Adult Content Detection for Mercari B2C
