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 GOP and XB initiatives within the XB Supply mission. 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 GOP 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… 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

Celebrating Togetherness: Mercari India’s First Family Day
At Mercari India, we believe our strength lies not only in our innovative spirit and commitment to excellence but also in the strong bonds we share as a team. This belief was beautifully celebrated during our first-ever Family Day, a heartwarming and fun-filled event that brought our work family and real families together. In the fast-paced corporate world, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind, often leading to stress and burnout. Family Day serves as a refreshing reminder of the importance of work-life balance. It acknowledges the incredible support systems behind each of our team members and celebrates the holistic approach to professional success. The event was brimming with joy, laughter, and a plethora of activities designed to engage everyone, from the youngest family members to the seasoned professionals. There were games, music, delicious food, and an overall atmosphere of camaraderie and togetherness. This day was not just about having fun; it was about strengthening the bonds that make Mercari India a close-knit community. In today’s corporate landscape, the emphasis on productivity and results can sometimes overshadow the human aspect of our work environment. Family Day is a powerful counterbalance to this trend. It allows employees to unwind, connect with their colleagues on a personal level, and recharge their spirits. This, in turn, enhances job satisfaction, boosts morale, and ultimately leads to increased productivity. Following in the footsteps of our HQ, Mercari Japan, we are dedicated to creating a work culture that values both professional excellence and personal well-being. As we reflect on the success of our first Family Day, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible team and their families who made this day unforgettable. We look forward to many more such celebrations as we continue to foster a work culture that values both professional… Continue reading Celebrating Togetherness: Mercari India’s First Family Day
