Uzum Secures $130M Strategic Investment Led by Oman Sovereign Entities

Tashkent, Uzbekistan – Uzum, the leading digital ecosystem in Uzbekistan, has closed a strategic investment exceeding $130 million, anchored by sovereign entities of the Sultanate of Oman. The transaction combines primary equity and structured capital, establishing a $2.3 billion pre-money valuation linked to Uzum’s next qualified financing round.

The investment represents a significant step-up from previous funding rounds, strengthening Uzum’s positioning ahead of its Series B. Existing international shareholders, including VR Capital, Tencent, and FinSight Ventures, also participated, reflecting strong global confidence in Uzum and Uzbekistan’s rapidly growing digital economy.

The capital will accelerate Uzum’s growth across core verticals — e-commerce, digital banking, payments, and consumer lending — focusing on expanding product depth, strengthening infrastructure, and increasing access to digital services nationwide. Uzum’s integrated ecosystem, including Uzum Market, Uzum Tezkor, Uzum Bank, and Uzum Nasiya, now serves over 20 million users, covering more than half of Uzbekistan’s population.

Djasur Djumaev, Founder and CEO of Uzum, stated: “This investment is a strong endorsement of both Uzum’s strategy and Uzbekistan’s digital potential. With support from the Investor and our global shareholders, we are well-positioned as we prepare for Series B and continue scaling our ecosystem.”
