Yango Group Makes First Pakistan Investment, Backing Logistics Fintech Trukkr

Yango Group, a prominent UAE-based tech company, has officially made its first investment in Pakistan, marking its entry into the country’s dynamic startup scene. Through its corporate venture fund, Yango Ventures, the company has acquired a stake in Trukkr, an innovative fintech platform that is digitizing financial services for the logistics sector.

This significant investment is set to fuel Trukkr’s expansion, strengthen its advanced credit-scoring tools, and ultimately improve access to vital financial services for thousands of trucking businesses across Pakistan. Beyond capital, Yango will provide Trukkr with invaluable product expertise and insights drawn from its operations in over 30 global markets. This support is designed to help Trukkr scale faster and build a more robust foundation for sustainable growth, reflecting Yango’s commitment to fostering long-term digital development in its key markets.

Yango Ventures operates as a $20 million corporate venture fund dedicated to supporting promising startups in the MENAP region, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. It offers early-stage companies not only essential funding but also global expertise in areas like ride-hailing, e-commerce, fintech, and AI, empowering them to scale effectively and sustainably.

Daniil Shuleyko, CEO of Yango Group, shared his vision for the partnership: “Pakistan’s logistics sector is full of potential, and Trukkr is helping move it forward – by giving operators the financial tools they need to scale and succeed in a competitive market. We’re here to support that transformation with our experience and technology. This is the kind of local innovation we want to help grow, and it’s just the start of our work in Pakistan.”

Sheryar Bawany, CEO of Trukkr, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are excited to partner with Yango Group. In addition to their strategic equity investment, we find that their experience in building state-of-the-art logistics tech and deploying it in over 30 countries will allow us to strengthen our offerings in Pakistan and beyond.”

Founded in 2019, Trukkr is actively transforming Pakistan’s over $35 billion logistics market by digitizing operations for more than 20,000 drivers and 100+ enterprise clients. Through its integrated SaaS platform and embedded finance solutions—which include fleet management, trip coordination, invoicing, and lending—Trukkr is modernizing a fragmented, largely unbanked industry. Following the acquisition of an NBFC license from the SECP, Trukkr now offers crucial working capital and fleet financing solutions, powered by its proprietary credit engine, Prism, and a robust loan management suite.

This investment aligns perfectly with Yango Group’s broader global strategy to empower entrepreneurs and drive digital transformation. Yango’s approach combines cutting-edge technology, deep business expertise, and a strong commitment to local ecosystems, fostering sustainable growth opportunities for people across diverse markets. As part of its global strategy, Yango Group also supports entrepreneurial ecosystems by organizing professional networking events, partnering with educational institutions, and providing future innovators with practical tools and skills.

Yango Ventures, powered by Yango Group’s capital and expertise in O2O (online-to-offline), FinTech, and AI, actively seeks Seed to Series B stage investments in the dynamic regions where Yango Group has a presence, including LATAM, Sub-Saharan Africa, and MENAP, with a focus on O2O, B2B SaaS, and FinTech sectors. Trukkr, as a unified platform, digitizes the entire logistics value chain in Pakistan, promoting efficiency and financial inclusion for shippers, trucking companies, and drivers through embedded finance products like invoice discounting and vehicle financing, alongside a modern SaaS layer for transport administrators.
