KARACHI – Careem, the ride-hailing service that operates in several cities across Pakistan, is now going to get into delivery business as well.
The company has just announced the acquisition of Delivery Chacha, an on-demand delivery and errand service operating out of Karachi, with its founder Mr. Nashit Iqbal moving to Careem soon, ProPakistani has learnt.
Founded back in June 2014, Delivery Chacha claims to have completed half a million delivery orders, ranging from food deliveries, bill payments, cinema tickets, grocery shopping, dropping off wedding cards to guests and even clothes to the tailors.
“The vision for DC and Careem is similar I believe — empowering our customers — and we both have enjoyed taking risks to do so,” Nashit was quoted in a statement issued by the company.
With its bike service launched just recently, Careem is going to use Delivery Chacha’s background to get its delivery service up and running.
