Careem, Chinese transport giant Didi join hands to compete with Uber

Careem, the major player in ride hailing business in Pakistan and the Middle East, in an attempt to further trouble its arch rival Uber has joined hands with Didi Chuxing. The Chinese based giant company has a network in about 1,000 cities in the world and is considered a competition to Uber globally but couldn’t make its market in Pakistan and the Middle East due to Careem’s presence. So both have now joined hands to further add to the miseries of the ride hailing giant Uber.

Didi has previously invested on different rivals of Uber to make them strong against Uber in their respective markets. They did not hold back this time when going ahead with their investment.

The amount invested is unknown as both organisations refused to give a statement on that, but it was made clear by Didi that the plan is to strengthen Careem in the Middle East and make it bigger and better than the competition.

The collaboration of these giants would be no less of a setback for Uber as Careem is getting bigger and better each day, creating an alarming situation for the category leader Uber.
