This partnership will undoubtedly help our deserving Captains in getting quality education for themselves as well as their children at affordable rates. We hope the Captains will make the most of this partnership as it will pave the way for more opportunities for them.”

Omar Farooqui, President and Founder, Coded Minds Global said, “We are very proud to partner with Careem to bring about high quality 21st century education to their Captains and their children as well. We are committed to reimagining education not just pedagogically but also through mass availability which has not been possible to every child and adult on this planet. This is another milestone for us as we continue to make education a right not a privilege.”
