Careem’s first pitch deck gives insight into the making of the $3 billion ride-hailing company

It is a well-known fact that many startups fail in infancy and only a few manage to make a global impact and find their business models to survive. Careem is one of the successful companies in regards to the ride-hailing segment co-founded by Mudassir Sheikha and Magnus Olsson back in 2012, first in the Middle East for corporate car booking and later on expanded to include a massive fleet of vehicles throughout the MENA region.
