Pakistanis travelling from Dubai and other parts of the world back home will soon be able to get a 20 to 25 per cent discount when they book a Careem.
The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development are collaborating with the company to launch a special promo code that can be used by Pakistanis when they travel back home, a spokesperson for Careem told Khaleej Times.
The decision was taken during a recent visit by Sayed Z Bukhari, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, to Dubai.
The ministry said in a tweet that the initiative was taken to thank overseas Pakistanis for their hard work when they return home to visit their loved ones.
During Bukhari's visit to Dubai, he spoke to Careem captains and told them that the Pakistan government has planned a number of initiatives for them.
He also said that he met extremely hardworking Pakistani super captains in Dubai. "You are one of Pakistan's ambassadors to the world and everything I have heard about your role in helping build up Careem to its current stature leads me to salute your incredible work ethics," said Bukhari.
Mudassir Sheikha, co-founder and CEO of Careem said, "Majority of our initial captains here in the UAE were from Pakistan."
"Everything Careem is today, we owe it to our captains. If it weren't for the support they provide us, our journey might have ended very early," he said.
Junaid Iqbal, Managing Director of Careem said, "With Careem's ever expanding and fast growing presence in Pakistan, some of the captains from the UAE are now advising their friends and family back home to work with the company."
