Yango launches enhanced commuting experience in Oman with transport service
Muscat, Oman: Yango Group, a global technology company, today launched its Transport Service in Muscat. Integrated into the Yango Superapp, this free feature delivers public transport routes and schedules, empowering residents and visitors to navigate the city efficiently. The service expands Yango's growing ecosystem in Oman — including ride-hailing, delivery, cargo and rentals — reinforcing its mission to streamline urban living. The service enables effortless journey planning: users can now access schedules for 13 city and 2 intercity bus routes connecting Muscat with the UAE. After selecting 'Transport' on the app's homepage and entering a destination, the app shows multiple options with detailed routes, estimated travel times, timetables, and transfer points, simplifying travel planning across the city. The Yango Superapp is a reliable choice for both daily commutes and tourist trips, such as the journey from Muscat Airport to the National Museum of Oman. Islam Abdul Karim, Regional Head of Yango Middle East, stated: "This launch reflects our core belief: seamless daily mobility shouldn't depend on how you move, but on how effortlessly technology can empower your choices in Oman. Our vision, however, goes beyond transportation — we are building a localized tech ecosystem that simplifies life across services, from mobility to upcoming AI solutions aligned with national development goals. Whether you ride a bus, hail a taxi, order delivery, seek entertainment, or use AI-powered assistance, we're here to make life easier." Yango's commitment to growth in Oman is evident through its expanding services areas and continued investment in enhancing urban mobility across the country.

Yango Group earns Great Place to Work® certification across nine countries
Yango Group , a UAE-based tech company, has been officially certified as a Great Place to Work® in 9 of its markets, highlighting the strength of its employee culture across some of the world's most diverse and fast-growing markets. The certification spans UAE, Pakistan, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, and Zambia, based on anonymous feedback from over 800 employees. According to Great Place to Work®, 87% of Yango Group employees across these countries said it's a great place to work — a result that significantly exceeds global averages. 'We've spent the past few years intentionally shaping a culture that's rooted in shared values, yet flexible enough to work across very different teams, markets, and realities,' said Daniil Shuleyko, CEO of Yango Group. 'We're proud that this approach resonates with our teams — and that so many colleagues feel part of something meaningful, wherever they are.' Across nine certified markets, employees consistently pointed to a workplace where they feel respected, welcomed, and safe. In Colombia, for example, 100% of respondents said people are treated fairly regardless of age, gender, race, or sexual orientation. In Pakistan, 95% said they feel proud of how the company contributes to the community. And in Zambia, 97% of employees said they felt genuinely welcomed from their very first day. Yango also scored especially high on physical and emotional safety, with 95% of surveyed employees across all countries agreeing that they work in a safe environment, and 94% saying people are treated fairly regardless of gender. Great Place to Work® Certification is the most widely respected global benchmark for workplace excellence. The recognition is based entirely on employee feedback, making it one of the most transparent and credible signals of organizational culture. These results carry particular weight for a company operating across fast-growing, emerging markets. From Abidjan to Lahore, and from Lima to Dubai, Yango continues to invest not only in local teams and leadership but in the infrastructure that makes collaboration possible across regions and disciplines. Programs like Yangoversity, which brings together employees from multiple countries for shared learning, and Go to the Fields, which puts employees on the ground alongside partners, are examples of how Yango Group builds culture through connection, not instruction. For the company, culture is not a corporate initiative — it's the system that enables long-term growth across all markets.

Yango Group introduces the bilingual AI assistant Yasmina in Oman, supporting national digital transformation goals
Yango Group, a global tech company, has introduced Yasmina – the bilingual human-like AI assistant, in Oman. Yasmina, fluent in Arabic and English, is built into the smart speakers — Midi, Mini, and Lite, and is designed to meet the needs of users in the region through natural, intelligent voice interactions. Behind the assistant's ability to understand context and engage in natural conversations is an upgraded large language model, one of the core components of YangoAI — a suite of advanced AI technologies tailored to the GCC. Yasmina goes beyond standard functions such as music streaming and smart home control. It offers localized features, including prayer times for Muscat, traditional recipe suggestions like Omani Shuwa, and assists with planning family trips to popular destinations such as Wadi Shab. Additionally, the assistant supports faith-based activities by playing Surahs, setting Adhans, and providing accurate dates according to the Hijri calendar, helping users maintain a strong connection to their cultural and religious practices. The AI assistant encourages curiosity across all age groups by simplifying complex topics, supporting language development, and offering interactive storytelling, making it equally useful at home, in classrooms, and on the go. It has the ability to translate between Arabic and English, making it particularly useful for bilingual users and language learners, educators, and content creators. 'AI technology is transforming how people live, learn, and connect, and we believe it should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. The Sultanate of Oman has shown strong momentum in embracing AI as a key part of its national digital strategy. We are proud that our ecosystem is expanding with increasingly advanced services designed to enhance the lives of Omani citizens. Through Yasmina and our broader portfolio, we remain committed to delivering innovative solutions that support Oman's vision for technological sovereignty,' said Islam Abdul Karim, Regional Head, Yango Group Middle East. 'ITHCA Group, being the technology investment arm of the OIA, actively supports initiatives within its portfolio companies that aim to adapt advanced technologies to the unique needs of users. Therefore, we highly value Yango Group's contributions to enhancing Oman's digital ecosystem. The Yasmina smart speakers will help families, students, and individuals discover the capabilities of AI in ways that feel familiar and practical. We believe that such innovations are well aligned with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040,' ITHCA Group stated. The expansion reflects Yango Group's ongoing commitment to digital innovation across the region. With the launch of Yasmina in Oman, Yango Group continues its mission of bridging the gap between innovative technologies and local communities. The Yasmina smart speakers are now available for purchase through various retail and online outlets across Oman. To fully enjoy everything the Yasmina smart speakers have to offer, users need to have an active Yango Play subscription, which may be subject to applicable fees and terms.
