Despite this, the two companies operate largely independently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Founded in 2012, Careem is currently developing a super app that gives subscribers access to a wide range of services, including food delivery, grocery shopping, freight services and bike rental.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Most of these sectors have flourished during the Coronavirus pandemic. Research from Morgan Stanley and McKinsey indicates great growth prospects for high-end applications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Uber, which shut down its food delivery service in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia two years ago, is focusing on serving passengers in both countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The money that Careem aims to obtain will also give it some independence from Uber, especially in terms of implementing its strategy by providing additional services outside of delivery. But this does not mean that the two entities sever their ties, even partially.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Careem reduced its workforce by a third during the Coronavirus, as demand for its passenger service decreased. But it has re-employed in its main market with the recovery of the economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The company recorded 4.1 million trips in 2020 and 4.3 million trips for the period from January to October 2021, according to the latest figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abu Dhabi, (Business News Report)|| Careem aims to raise half a billion dollars from Gulf investors and sovereign funds, to finance its expansion plan that aims at providing new transport services.
