  "account": "Depop, an online marketplace for secondhand clothes, has become a thriving community for Gen-Z fashion enthusiasts. With over 56 million registered users and 68 million items for sale, user quality is crucial for the platform's success, asserts chief technology officer Keyur Govande. Since joining Depop in May 2025 after a 14-year tenure at Etsy, Govande is dedicated to enhancing tools that facilitate the transition between buyers and sellers. \"Our platform's two-sided nature is what sets us apart,\" he explains, highlighting the AI-powered listing flow that automatically generates titles and descriptions from merchandise photos. This feature minimizes user effort and friction. Looking ahead, Govande is excited about Depop's partnership with eBay, acquired in July, which will provide valuable expertise in shipping and payments.",
