They recognise the need for instant gratification, not only for food delivery but a host of other products and household items as well. Identifying the interminable need for instant logistics services, they have spearheaded into business categories which focus on convenience.
Ahmed Khan, CEO of cheetay.pk reflected on the 2nd anniversary by saying “We have come a long way from where we started off but this is just the beginning for us. We are aiming to be the biggest e-Commerce player in the country by capitalising on the underlying logistics platform which can serve many different business verticals. The idea is to tag on one vertical after another, not strictly the way amazon does it, but in a more curated way. Each vertical will have a customised offering where the underlying logistics platform will serve as the basis for delivery. We want to build in analytics and payments in the ecosystem so that we’re a one stop shop that provides all services”
Cheetay has managed to expand and grow on an exponential scale by creating departments, spans of management and bringing on-board Senior Managers and Category Managers, Content Writers and Marketing Executives in their repertoire of professionals from LUMS and Lahore School of Economics to bolster their expanding operations. Being a company on the trajectory of growth and expansion, cheetay.pk has experienced an overwhelming response to their service. They have restructured their logistics and delivery spread by building a strong team of efficient riders by increasing their fleet of motorbikes, riders, and branded vehicles for instant delivery of orders.
“As we grow it is imperative for us to focus on making immaculate standard operating procedures to streamline our customer services and operations. Growth brings with it an array of challenges which need to be dealt with standard day to day operations as you venture into new business verticals and categories. We are ensuring every facet of the organisation is aligned in a holistic manner so that the customer service centre, the riders and the customers are all connected seamlessly” stated Saud Rashid, Operations Manager.
