Building Karachi’s everyday super-app
We are launching ride-hailing with a production-grade map and admin stack, then layering delivery and food on shared driver supply and payments infrastructure.
Karachi, Pakistan · Super App (Pvt) Ltd — placeholder
The problem
- Fragmented apps for rides, parcels, and food increase cost and friction for users and drivers.
- International map and API pricing is poorly suited to dense South Asian cities.
- Operators lack unified admin, pricing, and compliance tooling at early stage.
Our solution
- Single super-app shell with vertical toggles and one driver identity.
- Self-hosted Karachi map pipeline (tiles, routing, geocoding).
- Full-stack monorepo: mobile, API, admin, and public sites controlled via CMS keys.
Market opportunity
- TAM
- Pakistan urban mobility & on-demand services — multi-billion PKR
- SAM
- Greater Karachi ride + delivery — largest single-city opportunity
- SOM
- Initial capture: core Karachi corridors, bike/auto/car
Figures illustrative for deck; refine with third-party research before formal raise.
