Mohammad Khalaj Ghasem Abadi is the registered managing director and vice chairman of the ride-hailing operating company ایده گزین ارتباطات روماک (NID 14004334449), appointed by board decision of 1403/12/11 and published in the gazette of 1404/02/24, on an unlimited term and from outside the shareholders. Abdollah Bolbolvand, who also appears against the entity, was the original registrant and first managing director from incorporation in 2014; he preceded rather than replaced the current holder. Intervening holders on record: Mahmoud Fouz (interim) and Shahram Shahkar, who was publicly presented as CEO during a period when he was not the gazette-registered MD.

It is not a valuation, and Tehran Index does not present it as one.
