Karachi / Dubai – August 8, 2025: Yango Group, a UAE-based technology company, has entered the Pakistani market with its first investment in the country, acquiring a stake in logistics-focused fintech platform Trukkr through its corporate venture arm, Yango Ventures.
The investment will enable Trukkr to expand operations, strengthen its credit-scoring tools, and improve access to financial services for thousands of trucking businesses across Pakistan. Alongside funding, Yango will provide product expertise and insights from its operations in more than 30 global markets, helping the startup scale faster and build a stronger foundation for long-term growth.
The deal marks Yango Group’s entry into Pakistan’s startup ecosystem and underscores its commitment to fostering digital growth across its markets. Yango Ventures, a $20 million corporate venture fund, focuses on supporting promising startups in the MENAP region, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. In addition to capital, the fund offers global expertise in ride-hailing, e-commerce, fintech, and AI.
“Pakistan’s logistics sector is full of potential, and Trukkr is helping move it forward by giving operators the financial tools they need to scale and succeed in a competitive market,” said Daniil Shuleyko, CEO of Yango Group. “We’re here to support that transformation with our experience and technology, and this is just the start of our work in Pakistan.”
Trukkr CEO Sheryar Bawany welcomed the partnership, saying, “In addition to their strategic equity investment, Yango’s experience in building state-of-the-art logistics tech in over 30 countries will allow us to strengthen our offerings in Pakistan and beyond.”
Founded in 2019, Trukkr is digitizing Pakistan’s $35 billion logistics industry, serving over 20,000 drivers and more than 100 enterprise clients. Its integrated SaaS platform and embedded finance solutions—covering fleet management, trip coordination, invoicing, and lending—are modernizing a fragmented, largely unbanked sector. Following its acquisition of an NBFC license from the SECP, the company now provides working capital and fleet financing solutions through its proprietary credit engine, Prism, and loan management suite.
The investment aligns with Yango Group’s global strategy to empower entrepreneurs and accelerate digital transformation, combining advanced technology, business expertise, and deep engagement with local ecosystems to create sustainable growth opportunities.
