Careem is offering rishta aunty services and people are losing it
Looking for a rishta? Careem it!
Yes, Wednesday morning Careem jumped into the rishta service to help Pakistanis find their lifelong partner. Now, not only will the service get you to your destination but it'll also save you time by finding you a rishta while you're en route. Rishta on the go? Definitely seems like it (though we'd rather prefer food on the go).
Careem's rishta ad on their Facebook page reads, "Bar kar forever alone ka naara ab status 'taken' ho ga tumhara! Careem offers you the 'halal' way to find the right person. Have a rishta aunty accompany you during your ride."
Sibtain Naqvi from Careem shared, "This is a community engagement initiative that will last 2 days. It rolls out in Karachi Lahore and Islamabad today. Basically you have to pre-book a rishta ride, where a match maker will join you on your ride. The matchmakers are professionals who do this for a living. They'll take your information and ask you what kind of soulmate you're looking for. Then they'll get in touch with you later. But Careem's responsibility stops at the contact point."
"Pakistan has a huge population of young people and still we have trouble meeting people so we thought this would be a good initiative. Today in the morning we already averaged 700 rides. It must be up to 1000 rides now. In fact, we're overbooked," he added.
