Careem was founded by Mudassir Sheikha, an American Memon of Pakistani[3][4] origin, and Magnus Olsson of Sweden, who had both worked as management consultants at McKinsey & Company.[5] It started operating in 2012 as a website-based service for corporate car bookings, and evolved to become a ridesharing company with car hire for everyday use.[6]

Careem received seed money of US$1.7 million in a round led by STC Ventures in 2013. In 2014, it received funding of US$10 million in a Series B round led by Al Tayyar Travel Group and STC Ventures.

In February 2016, taxi drivers in Egypt organized several protests and sit-ins demanding that the Egyptian government block Uber and Careem from operating without official taxi licenses. A committee was organized by the Egyptian government to assess the complaints of the protesting taxi drivers and standardize taxi services in Egypt. They ruled in favor of the TNCs, ensuring that they can operate legally and provided legal protection for the TNC drivers who had been facing attacks by both state police and angry taxi drivers.[12][13][14][15]

Also in January 2018, Careem discovered data on more than 14 million riders and 558,800 drivers were breached.

In June 2022, Careem suspended food delivery service in Pakistan due to the Pakistan economic crisis.[68]

He emphasized that Careem is more focused on impact and fulfilling its purpose rather than offering high cash compensation or a structured work environment.[73] His post was described as "tone-deaf" and "cringe."
