The Rise of Superapps & The Fear of a Meaningless Life with Muneeb Maayr, Bykea

“Even if you’re drowning, give it one last shot”

 

Ride-hailing giant Gojek and marketplace Tokopedia, Indonesia’s two largest startups, said a couple of days ago that they’ve merged their businesses to form GoTo Group, on track for a $35-$40B IPO end year. This sets more fuel to the fire of SuperApps rising in Southeast Asia: a trend that is actually moving from East to West. But is it all that it’s cut out to be?

 

Muneeb Maayr, Founder of Bykea joins us this week on #BillionDollarMoves to unpack the news & share his game plan for Bykea, Pakistan’s hyper-local marketplace powered by a network of Motorcycles (p.s, there are 17 million in Pakistan!)

From the rise of SuperApps to the unique challenges of the two-wheeler opportunity in a country like Pakistan, to the fear of a meaningless life, Muneeb Maayr and I cover it all!
