With offices in Kuwait and representatives available in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, they are pursuing to increase their workforce by hiring entrepreneurial talents to join their passionate team. Ajar Online seeks to provide its online services for the global market by early 2018.

“Ajar Online has merely begun to scratch the surface of digitizing and advancing the rental industry, the opportunity in this space is tremendous. Shaheen and his team represent what we look for in teams; hard work, domain expertise and extremely passionate about their business, their industry and their region, said Yousef Hammad, managing partner at BECO Capital.
