Zoho, a global technology company, has announced a new partnership with Dart, a business ecosystem in Dubai. The collaboration aims to assist founders in relocating, setting up, and scaling their companies within the UAE. The agreement was formalized during a signing ceremony between Premanand Velumani, Associate Director of Strategic Alliances Middle East and Africa (MEA) at Zoho, and Jack Mouzer, COO of Dart, at Dart’s Dubai headquarters.

Under this partnership, Zoho will provide $500 in wallet credits to eligible Dart members, granting them access to Zoho’s suite of over 55 cloud-based business applications. Zoho will also conduct workshops, product training sessions, and webinars to help entrepreneurs and early-stage tech businesses leverage Zoho’s technology for efficient growth.

Premanand Velumani stated, “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. As the region’s digital economy accelerates, we are growing more committed to being a long-term partner in this journey.”

Jack Mouzer, COO of Dart, commented, “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, whether they’re startups building from scratch or established companies upgrading their tech stack.”

This initiative aligns with Zoho’s ‘Transnational Localism’ strategy, which involves investing in local ecosystems, particularly in markets like the UAE that are developing into regional hubs for AI, fintech, and digital innovation. Zoho continues to be a platform for businesses across the UAE and the broader MENA region.
