The worldwide ride service provider Uber has bought its asian rival Careem for $3.1bn. Its the largest purchase in the world.
According to the deal Careem will work as an independent candidate led by the original owners. But it will be subsidiary of uber’s.
Careem
Careem was launched 3 years before Uber.Its a Dubai based company which became popular mostly in Pakistan and egypt. The popularity reason falls to the fact that Careem allows its customers to pay by cash rather than credit cards.
Careem has played an important role in moulding the future of urban transport in middle east. Thats why it is one of the most successful startups
The Careem founders will lead the business under Uber and will report to a board of two Careem and one Uber’s representatives.
Uber says
This deal will play a vital role in expanding the future business of both companies and will benefit both of the companies equally
