## History

Careem's first logo, used from 2012 to 2016 Official logo used from 2016 to 2023

Careem was founded by Mudassir Sheikha, an American Memon of Pakistani[3][4] origin, and Magnus Olsson of Sweden, who had both worked as management consultants at McKinsey & Company.[5] It started operating in 2012 as a website-based service for corporate car bookings, and evolved to become a ridesharing company with car hire for everyday use.[6]

Careem received seed money of US$1.7 million in a round led by STC Ventures in 2013. In 2014, it received funding of US$10 million in a Series B round led by Al Tayyar Travel Group and STC Ventures.

In January 2015, the company acquired a Saudi-based home delivery service company, enwani, and Abdulla Elyas joined Careem as co-founder.[7]

In November 2015, Careem announced a Series C round investment of US$60 million led by The Abraaj Group.[8][9][10][11]

In February 2016, taxi drivers in Egypt organized several protests and sit-ins demanding that the Egyptian government block Uber and Careem from operating without official taxi licenses. A committee was organized by the Egyptian government to assess the complaints of the protesting taxi drivers and standardize taxi services in Egypt. They ruled in favor of the TNCs, ensuring that they can operate legally and provided legal protection for the TNC drivers who had been facing attacks by both state police and angry taxi drivers.[12][13][14][15]

In October 2016, the company agreed with regulators in Dubai to allow customers to book all taxicabs and limousines operating in Dubai via the Careem mobile app.[16]

Investors included Kingdom Holding Company, Mercedes-Benz Group, as well as Lumia Capital, DCM Ventures and Coatue Management.[21] Abraaj sold its stake in the company to Kingdom Holding Company.[22]

Also in January 2018, Careem discovered data on more than 14 million riders and 558,800 drivers were breached. The company waited until late April 2018 to disclose this breach as it "wanted to make sure we had the most accurate information before notifying people".[30][31][32] According to investigations by the company, there was no initial evidence of fraud or misuse.[33] Careem allegedly was notified about the vulnerability over a year earlier but did nothing.[34]

In March 2019, Uber agreed to acquire the company for US$3.1 billion, including US$1.4 billion in cash and US$1.7 billion in convertible notes,[47] making Careem the first unicorn startup company in the Middle East outside of Israel.[48]

In May 2019, Careem announced the acquisition of UAE-based bicycle-sharing system startup Cyacle which was re-branded as Careem Bike.[49] As of 2023, Careem Bike had 192 docking stations across Dubai.[50] Following its UAE launch, Careem Bike launched 165 bicycle and scooter stations in the city of Madinah, Saudi Arabia,[51] with nearly 2,000 customers traveling almost 60,000 km across the city on bicycles in 2023.[2]

In June 2022, Careem suspended food delivery service in Pakistan due to the Pakistan economic crisis.[68]

In 2022, RTA announced that 2.8 million Careem Bike trips had been completed since its launch, reducing emissions by 1,926,033 kilograms, equivalent to emissions from 600 cars.[69]

53% of Careem's trips in the UAE had been completed with hybrid or electric vehicles in 2023.[53]

In June 2023, founder Mudassir Sheikha received backlash after writing on LinkedIn that the company is not the right fit for those whose top priority is cash compensation, a 9-to-5 job, or those who thrive with structure and certainty. He emphasized that Careem is more focused on impact and fulfilling its purpose rather than offering high cash compensation or a structured work environment.[73] His post was described as "tone-deaf" and "cringe." However, he was also praised for being "rare" and "honest" and Careem employees had high job satisfaction ratings in surveys.[74][75]
