On its 30th anniversary, Zoho Corporation exceeds 150 million users worldwide and records five years CAGR 41% revenue growth in MENA

Riyadh, KSA— 25 February, 2026:  Zoho Corporation, a leading global technology company, marked its 30th anniversary by announcing two major milestones: the company now supports more than one million paying customers and over 150 million users worldwide.  The company — consisting of Zoho, ManageEngine, Qntrl, and TrainerCentral brands— is now a trusted technology provider to more than one million paying customers and over 150 million users globally.

In 2025, Zoho Corporation recorded a 32% year-on-year increase in customers and a 20% rise in revenue. Zoho also revealed that the Middle East and North Africa is the company’s second fastest-growing markets globally, which has seen 41% CAGR growth over the past five years with Saudi Arabia being among its top markets, recording a CAGR of over 66% customer growth and 50% revenue growth since 2021. 

"Being bootstrapped, private, and built entirely in-house makes Zoho an outlier among competitors," said Sridhar Vembu, Co-founder and Chief Scientist, Zoho Corporation. "But vendors don't need our help, businesses do, which is why delivering customer value has, for 30 years, been Zoho Corporation's North Star. Before any innovation, strategy, or guiding principle becomes a product, pivot, or policy, it must first affirm the question, 'Will this help businesses?' We are incredibly grateful that companies around the world have responded so positively to our customer-first approach over the past three decades, and will continue to meet the evolving needs of businesses with powerful, scalable, and affordable solutions."

Zoho Supporting Vision 2030  

Celebrating 30 years of innovation, Zoho has emerged as a secure digital partner supporting the Kingdom’s strategic pillar across finance, energy, industry, and national development sectors. Through enterprise-grade, locally hosted solutions, the company is powering up some of the leading public entities across the Kingdom driving Vision 2030 and strengthening their resilience with future-proof and agile technology to drive sustainable growth.

“Zoho’s expansion in the MENA region represents a significant milestone in our global journey. We are proud that our operations here, from our growing teams to strategic partnerships and local investments, have become a key driver of Zoho’s 30 years of success,” said Hyther Nizam, CEO of Zoho, Middle East and Africa (MEA). “Our commitment to the region goes beyond providing technology, it’s about empowering businesses, supporting digital transformation, and fostering innovation. The trust customers place in Zoho has been the foundation on which we continued to deliver scalable, secure, and locally relevant solutions that help organisations of all sizes thrive in an increasingly digital world.”

The company has opened two fully operational data centres in Jeddah and Riyadh — part of a broader investment of around SAR 500 million in local market – to ensure data sovereignty, and enhance privacy, performance and security for Saudi customers. Additionally, Zoho’s Saudi entity and data centres has obtained Class B certification from the Communicator Space and Technology Commission (CST), enabling it t process public and confidential data for private and government entities in line with the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) Cloud Cybersecurity Controls.

As part of this investment, Zoho also formed strategic partnerships with Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and Monsha’at to support digital upskilling, entrepreneurship, and SME enablement initiatives.

Since expanding in the MENA region, Zoho has enabled over 10,000 businesses adopt cloud technology through strategic partnerships with local governments from the public and private across many countries including UAE, KSA, Egypt, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, Morocco and Lebanon. These partnerships have been forged to support governments’ digitalisation agendas and incentivise businesses to adopt cloud technologies.
