Life at Careem
Careem is driven by a strong purpose, which is to simplify and improve the lives of people and build an awesome organisation that inspires. We are building ‘the everything app’ for the greater Middle East, making it easier than ever to move around, order food and groceries, manage payments, and more. Careem simplifies millions of people’s daily lives so that they can spend their precious time and mindshare on things that really matter and on realising their potential. We’re also proud to have helped dramatically improve mobility in the region, catalysed inclusion and opportunities for young talent and set off a wave of startups and funding for entrepreneurs.
As we continue to deliver on our purpose, we are always looking for ambitious people who share our values to join us on our journey. We want our future Careemers to learn and grow, create impact, and be part of an inspiring community while building the region’s first everything app.
Owners,not employees
connected with our leaders to share impactful stories, spotlighting instances where our values and behaviours were brought to life by our teams. In a conversation with Vaibhav, the Senior Director of Global Ops, he shared stories where his team remarkably lived up to being “owners, not employees.
purpose is our magic. We feel passionate about it. This passion is the fuel that runs Careem. A regular company-employee relationship just cannot sustain it. Instead, it requires ownership and things that follow from it. That’s why there are zero employees of Careem. We are all its co-owners. We win together, we lose together. Being owners reflects in everything we do.
About
Careem is building ‘the everything app’ for the greater Middle East, making it easier than ever to move around, order food and groceries, manage payments, and more. Careem is led by a powerful purpose to simplify and improve the lives of people and build an awesome organisation that inspires.

In 2019, we were acquired by Uber for $3.1 billion USD, solidifying our position as the biggest unicorn in the Middle East and providing new opportunities for startups in the region. This acquisition allowed us to bring some of the best talent into our organisation, which was a critical part of our growth strategy.
Now, we’re excited to explore synergies with the global technology investor e& following their $400 million investment in the Careem Super App. With two strong partners in e& and Uber, we’re looking forward to building category-leading verticals and scaling the Super App across our key markets.

Careem Leadership
Careem was started by Mudassir Sheikha and Magnus Olsson, who wanted to solve the problem of the region’s lack of reliable transportation. In 2013, Abdullah Elyas became Careem’s third co-founder, and together, over a decade, they led the company into 14 countries, and hired over 12 thousand colleagues to bring Careem’s purpose to life.
