This visionary company aimed to bridge the gap between Iran’s past and future, promoting digital transformation. Amidst the struggles, their user-friendly mobile app and secure payment solutions revolutionized the way Iranians paid bills, booked flights, and conducted daily transactions.

In every bustling Iranian city, Divar, an online marketplace, knit connections and fostered camaraderie. Iranians from all backgrounds embraced it, weaving a fabric of ads, searches, and local trade. Despite global challenges, Divar remained steadfast, nurturing a community of trust and shared bonds.

And finally, Sheypoor emerged as a beacon of hope for local commerce. Iranians found solace in this platform, connecting buyers and sellers within their communities. Even amidst constraints, Sheypoor’s mission to drive economic growth and forge bonds among communities remained steadfast.
