Airalo

A telecommunications company built to eliminate international roaming charges for travelers, airalo operates as the world's first eSIM store. The Singapore-based platform provides prepaid digital SIM cards for mobile data, calls, and texts across more than 200 countries and regions, allowing for instant connectivity upon arrival. Installation is managed directly through its website and mobile application. Since its 2019 founding by Ahmet Bahadir Özdemir and Abraham Burak, the company has grown to serve over 20 million users. A $220 million Series C funding round in July 2025 contributed to its $1 billion valuation. Beyond its direct-to-consumer model, the company supports a network of more than 5,000 businesses through its B2B platform, Airalo Partners. A tiered loyalty program offers cashback rewards on purchases to retain customers. The organization also commits to social initiatives, including funding a clean water project in Cameroon, sponsoring children through Children International, and contributing to global crisis relief funds.
