Muneeb Maayr graduated from the University of Virginia in 2001 to work in investment banking at Bear Stearns in New York City before returning to Pakistan a couple of years later to outsource bank end investment banking data entry for US-based SNL Financial, a content collection company. From 2004 to 2012, Muneeb helped build a 600 person back office for SNL in Islamabad operating 24/7 collecting data on public companies in the US. In 2012 when PE firm New Mountain Capital acquired SNL, Muneeb exited to join Rocket Internet as Co-Founder and CEO of Daraz, an Amazon style marketplace of consumer and fashion goods. In the 4 years Daraz raised $55 million and expanded to geographies outside of Pakistan. Muneeb left Daraz in the summer of 2016 to start Bykea, a ride hailing and instant logistics app that went live in beta on the Android Play Store in Dec 2016. Today, Bykea is Pakistan’s leading motorcycle ride hailing, express delivery and hyperlocal commerce app used by nearly a million Pakistanis.
