CEO of Middle East ride hailing firm Careem looks forward to full recovery by end of year

DUBAI: Careem, the ride-hailing company that has revolutionized mobility and delivery in the Middle East, is looking forward to a full recovery to pre-pandemic business levels by the end of this year, its founder and chief executive Mudassir Sheikha, told Arab News.

Its taxi, delivery and other mobility services took a big hit at the low point of the pandemic recession last summer, when it was forced to lay off one-third of its workforce.
