Board & shareholdersMasoud Tabatabaei, chairman; Alishad Etezadi, vice chairman; Mohammad Khadem Hosseinieh; Ali Marzban; MohammadJavad Atabaki, CEO and board member. Per the gazette board of 1403/05/31 (August 2024), elected by Digikala Group entities. The company's 2024 deck additionally showed Kayvan Mohitmafi; he holds no seat on the current gazette board.
OwnershipBoard elected by Digikala Group entities (the group holding company, the DigiExpress logistics entity and the Digikala.com operating entity) per the August 2024 gazette notice. Trademark "لجستیک بهینه" registered August 2022.
Entity notesProvenance (Mehdi, 2026-07-29, first-hand): Optime originated from Digikala Group's Diginext accelerator/venture arm, now operating as a Digikala Group subsidiary. | 2026-08-20: profile completed from the company's own 2024 and 2025 pitch decks, supplied by Mehdi. CEO given name confirmed: MohammadJavad Atabaki. FOUNDED-YEAR CONFLICT on record: row says 2020, the 2025 deck says established 2022; likely registration vs operating start; unresolved pending a registry anchor (Rasmio pass queued, no legal name or national ID yet). | ANCHOR RESOLVED 2026-08-20 (Rasmio pass, legal name self-declared on the company's own about page): آپتایم = نوآوران هوشمند راه فردا. FOUNDED-YEAR CONFLICT CLOSED by docs/DATA_CONVENTIONS.md section 1: registration 2021-02-16 (Jalali 1399/11/28, the source of the old "2020" label), operating as Optime from 2022 (the deck's "established 2022", the trademark and the knowledge-based licence all sit in 2022), so founded_year=2022 and registration_date carries the filing. Rahimpour upgraded to co-founder per the company's own site, read 2026-08-20.
Registered capital is the share capital recorded in the official gazette. Increases are real corporate events, but they are commonly funded from retained earnings or converted receivables and are also driven by inflation and regulatory minimums. It is not a valuation, and Tehran Index does not present it as one.
