Arab News profiled Abdulla on March 23, 2022, and describes Abdulla as a co-founder of Careem. The piece says Abdulla earned a master's in computer science and a Ph.D. in business administration at Aachen University in Germany. The piece also says Abdulla worked as a software engineer and a management consultant in Germany and Malaysia.
Arab News says Abdulla founded Enwani, a Saudi-based home delivery app, in September 2011. The piece says Enwani's cloud-based software was developed in Saudi Arabia and Germany. The same piece says Abdulla launched Careem in August 2015 with a partner, Mudassir Sheikh. Careem later absorbed Enwani into its operations.
A Babson Entrepreneurs blog post, which shows no publication date, says Abdulla is one of three Careem co-founders. It says Abdulla and Muath Khilfawi, the General Manager of Riyadh, spoke to Babson students on November 8 about Careem's journey, setbacks included. Per the post, Careem began with a phone operator who took calls and scheduled rides, and the app did not exist at first. Careem added a cash option because the region was cash-based. Arab News says Abdulla sits on the boards of Bupa Arabia and Saudi Arabia's Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority, Monsha'at.
