Founded by Ali Bin Shaheen and Peter Ang, Raabtaa aims to provide an on-demand staffing solution for the warehousing and logistics space.
“Our vision aims to help 100 million blue-collars find jobs and employers find the right candidate. As we anticipate a recession in the coming months, we’re motivated to push through these testing times for businesses and workers. Having secured our initial funding round by Antler, we have begun our operations in Karachi.”, Ali, CEO of Raabtaa Tech in a LinkedIn post.
Judging by the market opportunity, startups previously have tried to disrupt this space the most famous example being Sukoon.com. The difference between Raabtaa and current players is that Raabtaa specifically targets the B2B space whereas the current market players are targeting the retail space.
