This is Tehran Disrupted, a podcast about the brave founders of some of Iran's biggest companies.

  • Hamrah Mechanic: Paving the road for Iranian car buyers

    Hamrah Mechanic: Paving the road for Iranian car buyers
    Jan 4 2022

    In Iran, cars are like gold. Instead of putting their money in a bank where it could lose value due to inflation, Iranians buy used cars. Even the worst cars appreciate in value. It's not unusual for a person's entire life savings to be tied up in their car.

    In this episode, we hear the story of Amir Pahlevanzadeh and how he used this idea to build a multimillion dollar company that completely disrupted the used car market in Iran.
