About Us - Jiren

Behind the Name & Establishment

The name Jiren was chosen to be simple, memorable, and deeply connected to its home, Jimma. It reflects the company's commitment to being a local service that understands the community's needs. The journey began with a single vision: to not just provide rides, but to build a better future for the city.

Jiren was founded in 2024 by Nebil Kedir, who first envisioned a sustainable ride service built on a fleet of electric vehicles. This bold idea was soon brought to life by a dedicated team of home-grown engineers and entrepreneurs, leading to the establishment of the company.
