Mobilink and Uber Announce Strategic Partnership

We are thrilled to announce a unique strategic partnership with Mobilink – the largest voice and data provider in Pakistan, with more than 56 million subscribers. Through this partnership, we’re excited at the possibilities we can explore with Mobilink that will allow us to better serve Pakistani people. Working with the largest telecom provider in the country will allow us better access to more people that can benefit from the Uber vision; to have transportation that is as reliable as running water. 

This partnership will enable both Mobilink and Uber to collaborate on their shared vision of a digitised Pakistan.

“We’re excited to have Uber in Pakistan as it offers great convenience to the masses while tackling an inherent market need. We’re even more excited to be collaborating with them to further scale this initiative across Pakistan to strengthen the transportation infrastructure. We’re sure that our customers would be offered world class service as a result of this partnership”, said Aniqa Afzal Sandhu, Head of Mobile Financial Services – Mobilink

“Our partnership with Uber showcases our leadership in the provision of state of the art communication services to customers throughout the country.  We are thrilled to have joined hands with Uber in assisting them to cater to the transportation needs of our country through new innovative solutions”, said Azfar Manzoor, VP Business Services – Mobilink

This partnership with Mobilink will kick-off with some exciting offers for both driver-partners as well as for riders. Select driver-partners will be able to get access to subsidized smartphones, Mobilink voice and data packages. Riders, on the other hand will be able to access Mobilink 3G WiFi in a select number of Ubers across the city. As part of this alliance, Uber will also offer exclusive promotions, discounts and experiences to Mobilink customers – Mobicash customers will also be able to avail their first Uber ride free* when they make a transaction on their Mobicash mobile wallet. 

We at Uber are looking at this partnership as just the beginning, and we’re hoping that this will be the start towards much more innovation to better help Pakistan grow.
