Travly co-founder Talaal Burny joins Careem

Burny revealed he had relieved himself from all operational duties at Travly around 20 days ago

In a surprising turn of events, Travly co-founder Talaal Burny has joined app-based car booking service Careem.

Burny was the co-founder and Chief Operations Officer of Travly, a rickshaw hailing service that has recently raised over $200,000 from CresVentures.

In a statement posted on his Facebook, Burny revealed that he had relieved himself from all operational duties at Travly around 20 days ago. Describing his connection with Tavly as a never ending "love story", he said, “I will always be a part of Travly, and Travly will always be a part of me. No one can suffocate that space. This love story has no ending.”



Burny also revealed that he agreed to join Careem a few days ago. “A few days back, I had a contact with Careem, they were keen on talent acquisition; and I said yes,” he said, adding, “I don't know if this heads into corporate slavery or another entrepreneurial stride with Careem, now I am ever ready to take the leap of faith, once again.”

Describing creating Travly as the best thing he ever did, he said, “I delivered one of the most recognisable Pakistani startup brands ever; and hell yeah! I am super proud of it! However, Travly will always be more than a brand.”



The co-founder was all praises for his former colleagues saying, “The potential value of disruption that Travly envisions is amazing. And this will continue until Shahmir, Mehmood and Faizan are running around.”
