About Tajir

Our mission is to make a significant portion of the economy of Pakistan radically more efficient.

Stores in Pakistan have been buying products in the same way for nearly a century. Why should 20 trucks deliver to the same store in a single day? Why do people travel on bikes, needlessly burning fuel, to collect orders on scraps of paper? Why do store owners wait restlessly for someone to visit once a week to collect an order?

Tajir is a radical break from the past. We offer an app where stores can buy everything they need, delivered reliably the next day. We drastically reduce the number of vehicles on the road with efficient, centralized delivery, so both store owners and manufacturers enjoy higher profits. With $150B in purchases made by retailers annually, even modest efficiency gains have an outsized economic impact.

We are backed by Kleiner Perkins (early investors in Google, Amazon) and Y Combinator (early investors in Coinbase, Airbnb, Dropbox). Learn more about us on Forbes and Geo News.
