Having first graced the cover of Tatler Malaysia back in 2019 and being inducted into the Gen.T list, Eric Cheng, together with his co-founder Jiun Ee Teoh have scaled Carsome to greater heights.
Having started out their journey locally in 2015, with a seed funding of US$350,000, Carsome expanded into Singapore the following year, and by 2017 already had a presence in Indonesia and Thailand as well.
And the business model developed alongside, as it grew to become a trusted source to buy and sell used cars starting off with a relatively low figure of 1,000 cars annually to 40,000 prior to the pandemic, and having celebrated the company's 100,000th seller back in 2020 to now having introduced the first-ever Carsome Certified Lab, which is capable of turning over 2,000 cars within a mere month!
We managed to catch up with Cheng, who gladly gave us a tour of the Carsome Certified Lab and filled us in on some of his proudest achievements thus far.
"Since day one, Carsome's mission has been laser-focused, as we take on a customer-first approach in all that we do in order to gain users' confidence," explains Cheng on how the business has been doing well. After all, it is important to build trust, especially in a business that's predominantly dealing with used cars.
