AloPeyk is an on-demand delivery company based in Iran. It was founded in September 2016 by Mehdi Nayebi and Mehrshad Pezeshk who both moved from Europe to Tehran to start the company.[1] Nayebi wanted to offer a solution for Iranian ecommerce companies looking to outsource deliveries and logistics. By 2017, the company was reported to deliver 10,000 packages per day.[2] That same year, Apple had removed the AloPeyk app from its App Store in compliance with U.S. sanctions against Iran.[3] By 2021, the company reportedly had shipped 75 million packages since its founding, and had 15,000 active daily drivers on its platform.[4]
The company gained its initial market share by offering lower prices than its competitors. On the back-end, the company uses algorithms and computer software to reduce the idle time of its delivery drivers, and allow them to make more deliveries at a lower cost to the end customer.[5][6] In 2018, the Financial Times reported that AloPeyk had hired 50,000 motorcycle couriers and 10,000 van drivers since its founding.[7]
To fund its expansion, the company received investments in 2019 from Turquoise Partners and other firms.[8]
