On Dubai Eye Radio’s Business Breakfast this morning, @hyther Nizam, CEO – Zoho Middle East and Africa, shared Zoho’s long-term vision for the UAE market and its focus on sustainable growth. He spoke about Zoho’s locally hosted data centers, built in partnership with green-certified colocation providers, operating at standard power rates without government subsidies, and fully aligned with data residency and compliance requirements. Hyther also addressed Zoho’s measured approach to AI adoption, enabled by its independence as a privately held company, and reflected on the company’s steady expansion in the UAE, with a 53% CAGR over the past eight years.

Honouring our partners for being part of this successful journey with @Zoho . This award is a genuine reflection of trust and a long-term relationship.
This award, created to honour our partners at @ZohoMENA Inspire 2026, reflects a balance of heritage and modern design. 🤍 Made in Agra, India, by master artisan Arif Ahmad, a descendant of the craftsmen behind the Taj Mahal, it features traditional Parchinkari on white marble with fine semi-precious stone inlay. With a legacy dating back to the 16th century, Parchinkari adds deeper meaning to the piece—one tied to craftsmanship, culture, and lasting partnerships. Watch it all come together. 👇✨
