Yango Group, a UAE-based technology company, has made its entry into Pakistan through Yango Ventures, marking its first investment in the country by acquiring a stake in Trukkr. Trukkr is a fintech platform working to digitize financial services within Pakistan’s logistics sector. The investment aims to help Trukkr expand operations, improve its credit-scoring capabilities, and extend access to financial services for thousands of trucking businesses operating across the country.
Through this partnership, Yango will offer Trukkr capital as well as product support and operational expertise drawn from its presence in over 30 global markets. The collaboration is expected to enhance Trukkr’s ability to scale efficiently and build sustainable infrastructure in Pakistan’s transport sector. Yango Ventures is a $20 million corporate venture fund designed to back early-stage startups in MENAP, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. The fund not only provides capital but also supports companies with hands-on experience in ride-hailing, e-commerce, fintech, and AI.
According to Daniil Shuleyko, CEO of Yango Group, Pakistan’s logistics sector has significant growth potential, and Trukkr’s efforts in equipping transport operators with scalable financial tools make it a fitting investment. He emphasized Yango’s interest in supporting local innovation and its intention to contribute to long-term digital transformation in Pakistan.
Trukkr’s CEO Sheryar Bawany welcomed the strategic partnership, noting that Yango’s expertise in building logistics technologies and applying them across diverse markets would provide Trukkr with a strong foundation for expansion both within and outside of Pakistan. He highlighted how the collaboration would help strengthen Trukkr’s fintech offerings and expand the company’s impact in the regional logistics sector.
Founded in 2019, Trukkr is modernizing Pakistan’s fragmented and largely unbanked $35 billion logistics market. The company serves over 20,000 drivers and more than 100 enterprise clients through a unified SaaS platform that integrates transport operations with embedded finance features. Its services include fleet management, trip scheduling, invoicing, and lending, all powered by a proprietary credit engine called Prism and an in-house loan management system.
Following its acquisition of an NBFC license from SECP, Trukkr has expanded its product offerings to include working capital loans and fleet financing solutions. By digitizing the logistics value chain, the platform is enabling greater efficiency and financial inclusion for truck owners, transport operators, and freight clients.
Yango Ventures’ entry into the Pakistani market aligns with its global mission of empowering entrepreneurs in emerging economies. The company supports startup ecosystems through capital deployment, networking, collaboration with academic institutions, and offering practical digital tools. Yango Group’s broader service ecosystem includes ride-hailing, delivery, and e-grocery, and its venture fund continues to prioritize early-stage investments in O2O, B2B SaaS, and fintech sectors across regions where the group operates.
Trukkr’s platform is positioned as a critical enabler of digital transformation in Pakistan’s logistics sector, offering tailored financial products like invoice discounting and vehicle financing alongside robust transport management tools. The investment from Yango Ventures is expected to further accelerate this progress and support deeper integration of technology within the country’s freight and logistics networks.
