The Evolution of A Revolution
Swvl is a global tech startup based in Dubai that provides a semi-private alternative to public transportation for individuals who cannot afford or access private options. The Company has built a parallel mass transit system offering intercity, intracity, B2B and B2G transportation in 10 megacities across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Swvl’s tech-enabled offerings make mobility safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly, while still ensuring that it is accessible and affordable for everyone. Customers can book their rides on an easy-to-use app with varied payment options and access high-quality private buses and vans that operate according to fixed routes, stations, times, and prices.
Swvl was co-founded by Mostafa Kandil, who began his career at Rocket Internet, where he launched the car sales platform Carmudi in the Philippines, which became the largest car classifieds company in the country in just six months. He then served as Rocket Internet’s Head of Operations. In 2016, Kandil joined Careem, a ride-sharing company and the first unicorn in the Middle East. He supported the platform’s expansion into multiple new markets. Careem is now a subsidiary of Uber, based in Dubai, with operations across 100 cities and 15 countries.

Wrappup was founded by Rami Salman and co-founded by Ayush Chordia and Rishav Jalan. The company began by building working prototype in under 24 hours, winning Angelhack Dubai 2015.
Through 4 years at Bain & Company, Rami experienced the power of productive meetings with clients across industries. He designed the app based on accumulated best practice and extensive research on meeting productivity. Ayush built the multi-platform cloud-based app and unleashed the power of speech and voice-print recognition technology to enhance the experience. Rishav built the Android app to be intuitive, quick, and scalable. Both have developed at breakneck speed, the engine for the tech growth.
In September 2016, Wrappup secured $800,000 in funding led by BECO Capital along with Arzan VC and other investors.
Wrappup was acquired by Voicea (USA) in 2018, which was acquired by Cisco the following year.
