With an amazing team, I helped initiate a mission called Airlift in 2019, as the technical co-founder. Airlift was determined to build a world of self-empowerment using technology-backed logistics solutions that enable safe, reliable and affordable access to necessities. Airlift scaled Pakistan's largest decentralized transportation network to change the way people move, shifting away from private vehicles towards shared mobility and affordable mass transport. In 2020, Airlift diversified into last-mile delivery through Airlift Express, delivering essentials across households in 30 minutes across nine cities in Pakistan, soon launching across South Africa. Airlift Express spans across food supplies, household supplies, pharmacy, stationery, pet food, fresh fruits and vegetables, small electronics and more. On this mission to enable self-empowerment in the region, Airlift raised $110m+ USD in venture financing.Created a world class technology team of 125 engineers in Pakistan and South Africa that developed the complete Airlift ecommerce, last mile, supply chain and data warehousing solutions that worked flawlessly at scale.
