Didi Chuxing, a major Chinese transportation service which supports 400 million users across China, has just become a major investor in Careem.

Following investment last week in Taxify, a soon to be launched London car sharing service, Didi’s global portfolio is continuously on the rise with shares in Lyft, an Uber rival in the states, Ola in India and Brazilian startup 99, which now has a value of over $100 million.

The value of the investment has yet to be disclosed, but judging from this tweet we’re guessing it’s substantial….
