In today’s world, many of us will use countless mobile apps every day. We tap an app for banking, social media, games, or messaging tools without a second thought.

With Super Apps rising in popularity, does this mean we will start to see the need for dozens of different apps reduce?

Join us as we speak with Fardad Zand, Head of Platform Strategy and Careem Incubator, about the rise of Super Apps. We speak about what Super Apps are, where they seem to be most popular, and what the future looks like for the average smartphone app.

We also discuss Careem, the popular ride-hailing turned internet platform in the Middle East, which Uber acquired in 2020. Fardad explains what this partnership has meant for the region and how Careem is expanding into new markets.

Hosted by Filip Sobiecki.
