Redefining Mobility in Mozambique with Yango?

Since launching Yango in Mozambique almost two years ago, Mahomed has sparked a big shift. Before, catching a taxi was a costly luxury few could manage. Now, thanks to Mahomed's steer, Yango has turned ride-hailing from a luxury into an everyday go-to. He shares, "Before joining Yango, taking a taxi wasn't just expensive; it was impractical. Now, I use Yango daily, not only to catch rides but to streamline my entire schedule. Everything I need is in the app, simplifying my day drastically."

The transformation in Mozambique has been profound. We're really impressed with what our team has accomplished there. When Yango first entered the market, it was less than welcoming, and filled with challenges. However, the team quickly turned things around. Now, Yango is a household name in ride-hailing, reshaping the market.

Initially having met with challenges, Yango swiftly established itself as a key player in urban mobility, becoming known for:

?? Transparency: Clear pricing from the start.

?? Efficiency: A ride is just a few minutes away, typically less than 5.

?? Opportunity Creation: Beyond rides, we're fostering employment.

?? Fleet Development: From zero to 20 partner fleets.

?? Tech Empowerment: We've equipped companies with the technology and support they need to work smarter, including dashboards with internet connectivity.

Mahommed revealed, "Seeing our impact up close really drives it home. Whenever I'm back from trips, spotting people at the airport using Yango is a solid reminder of why we do what we do. The real payoff is witnessing the practical benefits of our efforts firsthand. This is what we are working for – making Yango affordable and accessible for everyone, everywhere.”

We were trying to find out with Mohammed how the Yango Mozambique team managed to reshape public perception of local government relations, he admitted it wasn’t a walk in the park. As Yango rapidly expanded, the local team found themselves in talks with the authorities, who, as Yango's convenience and popularity soared, also began using the service. Mohammed credits much of this success to his team's dynamics.

“What I really appreciate about our Yango team in Mozambique is their unflappable nature. No matter the challenge, they remain steady and composed, especially in dealings with our partners. Even on my toughest days, they tackle obstacles smoothly!”

We then asked Mohammed to break down the essence of the Yango Mozambique team in main points, and here’s the insight he provided:

?? We are doers

We don't stress when problems arise; we simply solve them. This approach is proven by the fact that my team built the market from scratch, became market leaders, and faced challenges around the clock, overcoming setbacks throughout the year.

?? We adapt quickly

We're a fast-paced company where processes quickly evolve due to automation, requiring the team to stay in sync with new technologies. The Yango of last year and the Yango of now are worlds apart. We've transitioned from startup mode to being more structured, organized, and corporate-like.

??We are problem solvers

The team tries to understand problems that the partners face, and try to solve them.

??We are resilient

We all have different skills, we compliment each other.

These insights highlight how the team's collective traits contribute to maintaining Yango's services on a high level and driving technological advancements in the local market. Mohammed concluded,

"This blend of agility, problem-solving, and resilience is what keeps us at the forefront of the market, pushing the envelope with innovative tech solutions. I couldn't be prouder of what we've achieved together!"

Now, we have expanded our offerings beyond ride-hailing to include delivery, Yango Pay, and Yango 360, a cloud storage solution for photos and documents. So what's next? We're focusing on building a super app and launching more products within the Yango ecosystem while expanding our flagship ride-hailing service into new geographies.
