Divar described by its own group as having more than 50 million active users (company disclosed)Group site read 24 September 2026Company disclosed
On the group's site Divar is described as an online platform for direct buying and selling with more than 50 million active users.
Hezardastan Group, careers site home page, Divar entry, hezardastan.ir ↗ · retrieved 2026-09-24The figure is undated and unqualified on the page, so it describes an unstated moment and not a period, and "active" is not defined: it may count registered accounts ever used rather than users in any given month. Iran's population is about 90 million, so a claim of more than 50 million active users is a claim of majority national reach, which is why it is worth recording even unverified. It is the parent's own marketing copy, not a measured audience figure, and no third party is cited for it here.

What the three products do, including Sotoon as internal cloud (company disclosed)Group site read 24 September 2026Company disclosed
The group describes Karnameh as a specialist services platform for a better user experience in buying and selling cars, and Sotoon as providing cloud computing services with a focus on the companies of the Hezardastan group.
Hezardastan Group, careers site home page, Karnameh and Sotoon entries, hezardastan.ir ↗ · retrieved 2026-09-24The Sotoon line is the one that changes how the group reads. Its stated focus is the group's own companies, which describes a captive infrastructure arm serving Divar and Karnameh rather than a cloud vendor competing for outside customers, even though Sotoon does sell externally. Karnameh is placed in car buying and selling, adjacent to Divar's vehicle category rather than separate from it. No revenue, headcount or customer figures appear anywhere on the page, and the group publishes no financial disclosure under its own name.
