The expanded headquarters occupies a total of 41,860sq ft of space, spread across four stories at KYM Tower in Mutiara Damansara to house over 560 employees.
Carsome co-founder and Carsome Academy CEO Teoh Jiun Ee said the expansion underlined the company’s vision to mobilise Malaysia as a central talent hub for the region.
“The expansion exemplifies another one of our corporate milestones since the establishment of Carsome in 2015.
“We believe that the larger and better workspace for our Carsomeers will elevate their working experience, at the same time meet the needs of our team for a larger and more inspirational workspace.
“Through our growing workforce, we endeavor to channel more efforts into talent development in Malaysia to bolster our regional presence through strategic hires, upskills, and development of local talents,” Teoh said.

The expanded headquarters was launched by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) chief executive officer Mahadhir Aziz.
“Carsome is indeed Malaysia’s very own pride and joy – an innovative and inventive company that is not only an indicator of Malaysia’s robust and thriving digital ecosystem, but also evidence of the country’s strength as the digital hub of the region.
“As Malaysia aspires to be a high-income nation, at least 45% of the workforce needs to be highly skilled. Carsome’s expansion marks the growth of their local and regional talent pool as well as their commitment towards developing future talents,” he said.
Carsome was also awarded the Unicorn Status Award by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, and MDEC recently for being one of the most successful start-ups in Malaysia.
