Careem Announces End of Ride-Hailing Service in Pakistan From Next Month
- Careem announced it will discontinue its transportation services in Pakistan starting July 18, 2025, bringing to a close its operations in the country after almost ten years.
- The decision was driven by Pakistan’s tough economic environment, increased market rivalry, and changes in worldwide investment focus that rendered further funding unjustifiable.
- Careem launched in Pakistan in 2015 and grew into a key mobility service relied upon by millions, especially after Uber exited the market in 2022.
- CEO Mudassir Sheikha described the exit as an “incredibly difficult decision” driven by the need to maintain safe and dependable service amid tough conditions.
- Although ride-hailing ends, Careem will maintain a strong presence in Pakistan with nearly 400 employees building its Everything App and expanding local innovation.
