Critical Dependencies
The UAE-based ride-hailing and super app pioneer of the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, acquired by Uber for $3.1 billion in 2019 and later split into a ride-hailing business (fully Uber-owned) and a separately-owned 'Careem Super App' business (food/grocery delivery, micro-mobility, digital wallet, and fintech services across 10 countries). In June 2026, Uber agreed to buy a 12.5% stake in Careem Technologies from telecom group e& for $100 million, reducing e&'s stake to 37.53% and moving toward reuniting the super app with Uber's ride-hailing business under one owner.
