Zoho Teams with Dart to Support UAE Startups
Zoho, a leading global tech company, has partnered with Dart, a prominent business ecosystem in Dubai. This collaboration aims to empower entrepreneurs worldwide to relocate, establish, and grow their startups in the UAE. The agreement was signed by Premanand Velumani, Zoho’s Associate Director for MEA Strategic Alliances, and Jack Mouzer, Dart’s COO, at Dart’s Dubai headquarters.
As part of the partnership, eligible Dart members will receive $500 in wallet credits to access Zoho’s extensive suite of over 55 cloud-based business applications. This benefit intends to ease startups’ access to essential tools for business growth.
Supporting Entrepreneurs Through Training and Resources
In addition to financial support, Zoho will lead workshops, product training sessions, and webinars. These initiatives will help early-stage tech companies and entrepreneurs use Zoho’s technology effectively to build and scale their operations.
Velumani said, “Zoho has always believed in supporting businesses from the ground up. Through this partnership, we aim to empower emerging tech startups in Dubai with the tools, knowledge, and local support they need to scale confidently.”
Meanwhile, Mouzer expressed excitement about the partnership. He said, “We’re excited to be bringing Zoho’s powerful suite of tools to our clients and community members. Zoho is a household name in software and systems, and their innovative products make it easier for businesses to hit the ground running in Dubai.”
Strengthening the UAE’s Tech Ecosystem
This initiative fits into Zoho’s broader ‘Transnational Localism’ strategy, which focuses on investing in local ecosystems like the UAE. As the region becomes a hub for AI, fintech, and digital innovation, Zoho emphasizes accessibility, privacy, and localization in its offerings.
Consequently, Zoho continues to be the preferred platform for thousands of businesses across the UAE and the wider MENA region. This partnership with Dart further solidifies Zoho’s commitment to supporting the growth of local startups and innovation.
