What Zoho Partner Times is
Zoho Partner Times is the quarterly newsletter Zoho's MEA partner team publishes for the partners who implement and resell Zoho across the Middle East and Africa. Each edition brings product and platform updates, partner programme news, an AI corner, practical tips from Zoho's own teams, events and workshops, and the Partner Community Spotlight, where selected partners share what has helped them grow.
The spotlight is written in the partner's own words and published by Zoho. In the Q3 2026 edition Zoho featured three partners, and Shyphan AI Solutions opens the section as Spotlight #1.
Our page in the spotlight
Under the question "What has helped us grow?", the page reads:
Our approach is simple: understand the customer's business first, then use Zoho to solve the real problem.
We've built a 50+ member team with 15+ active Zoho certifications, continuously strengthening our expertise to handle complex customer requirements.
Our focus is on becoming industry specialists, combining deep domain knowledge with strong Zoho expertise rather than being a jack of all trades.
We continue to grow across Saudi Arabia, UAE, India and Lebanon, with expansion into the UK market this quarter. Zoho Creator is also a key focus, with our long-term goal of becoming a global leader in Creator implementations.
Our growth has been driven by customer trust, referrals, our team, and the strong support and partnership with Zoho.
Behind each point
A spotlight page has room for five short paragraphs. Here is what sits behind each of them.
Business first, Zoho second
Every engagement starts with a free discovery call about how the business runs today, before any app is chosen. The fixed quote comes after that, and the Zoho consulting scope follows the problem rather than a product list.
50+ people, 15+ active certifications
Our consultants hold active Zoho certifications across apps such as CRM, Creator and People. You can meet the team behind the projects.
Industry specialists
We would rather know a sector deeply than do a little of everything. Our industry solutions combine domain workflows with Zoho, so a project starts from how your industry actually works.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, Lebanon, and now the UK
We deliver Zoho in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India and Lebanon, and expanded into the United Kingdom this quarter.
Zoho Creator as a key focus
Our long-term goal is to be a global leader in Zoho Creator implementations: custom apps, portals and workflows built on Zoho's low-code platform when off-the-shelf apps are not enough.
Trust, referrals and Zoho
Our growth has come from customer trust and referrals, our team, and close support from Zoho's MEA partner team. Our case studies show the projects behind it.
Also in the Q3 2026 edition
The rest of the newsletter is a useful read for anyone running Zoho in the region. Highlights include:
- Zoho Partner AI Accelerator Series. The newsletter reports that the series concluded successfully, covering Zoho MCP, AI-powered demos and implementations, Zia Agent Studio and AI-assisted development. Shyphan completed it and was then accredited as the first AI Enabled Zoho Partner in the MEA.
- Lead registration. An update on registering opportunities early through the Zoho Store, so partner and Zoho sales teams can collaborate on them.
- Zoho POS across more of the MEA. Product and platform news on Zoho POS becoming available in more countries in the region.
- AI corner. Best practices for selling AI responsibly: start with the customer's need, set realistic expectations, be transparent about data, and keep humans involved.
- Partner tips. The top 10 pitfalls when implementing a Zoho solution, and five ways to close more Zoho One deals.
- Technical Meet and Workshop, KSA and UAE. Zoho's partner technical meet in Riyadh and workshop in Dubai, focused on Zia Agents, Zoho MCP and AI in CRM.
- Partners in Success. The Zoho MEA partner team's podcast with partners from across the region.
The Partner Community Spotlight in the same edition also features Avetium Technologies and Zocoden.

What it means for our clients
For clients, a spotlight in Zoho's own newsletter is a public signal that Zoho's MEA partner team knows our work and stands behind how we deliver it. Nothing about the way we work changes: the same consultants, the same discovery-first approach and the same fixed quotes.
What it does confirm is the direction we described to Zoho: deeper industry specialisation, more Zoho Creator expertise, AI delivered responsibly inside Zoho, and a growing presence across the Gulf, the wider Middle East, India and the UK. If you are planning a Zoho project in any of those markets, we would be glad to talk.
