Rumours have been swirling FOR MONTHS regarding an Uber takeover of Careem.

Currently the ride-hailing platforms are rivals in the region; Careem, the huge Dubai success story which has grown to over 100 cities in the MENA and South Asian region and Uber the international ride-sharing app of choice, with a stronghold in 785 cities worldwide.

Now, could Uber be serious about taking over Careem? According to international reports, it is. $2 billion to $2.5 billion serious.

No decisions have been made

No formal decisions have been made between Uber Technologies Inc and Careem Networks FZ, neither company has made a comment and it’s not definite whether a deal will go ahead.

Bloomberg reported that negotiations are ongoing. A complete takeover or a combined ownership could be on the cards.

Back in July, when the alleged preliminary talks took place, a rep for Careem stated the company does not respond to rumours.
