Mannai Information Technology opens regional headquarters in Riyadh to support Saudi Vision 2030

Mannai Information Technology Saudi Arabia (MIT KSA), a unit of Mannai Corporation QPSC, has opened a new regional headquarters (RHQ) in Riyadh as part of a strategic expansion to support the Kingdom’s digital transformation and Vision 2030 objectives. The Riyadh RHQ is positioned to strengthen local delivery capabilities, deepen customer partnerships across public and private sectors, and accelerate innovation-led growth across Saudi Arabia’s technology landscape.

“Saudi Arabia is one of the region’s largest and fastest-growing digital economies and the establishment of the regional headquarters in Riyadh represents a defining step in MIT KSA’s local growth strategy,” said Alekh Grewal, Group Chief Executive Officer of Mannai Corporation QPSC. “It reflects our long-term commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s ambitious digital transformation agenda and Vision 2030 objectives.”

Local capability build and sector focus

Mannai Information Technology Saudi Arabia outlined a broad set of technology capabilities to be delivered from the Riyadh RHQ. Those capabilities include Connected Cities and Sports Technology, Digital Transformation and Intelligent Platforms, Apps, AI and Cybersecurity, Cloud Transformation and Digital Workspaces, Enterprise and Hyperscale Infrastructure, and EPC and Technology Contracting delivered through a global partner ecosystem.

The company said it will prioritise engagement across government, smart cities, banking and financial services, energy and utilities, healthcare, education, transportation and logistics, and enterprise and critical infrastructure sectors. “MIT KSA’s expansion is anchored in decades of trust, execution capability, and a consistent focus on delivering value-driven technology solutions across complex enterprise environments,” said Khalid Mannai, Vice Chairman, Executive Committee, Mannai Corporation QPSC. “This milestone reflects MIT KSA’s continued evolution as a trusted technology partner in the region and strengthens its position as a key enabler of digital transformation across enterprise and government sectors.”

Hiring, talent and delivery plans

Lakshimi Narayanan, General Manager of Mannai Information Technology Saudi Arabia, said the Riyadh office “will serve as a central platform for strengthening customer partnerships, accelerating local delivery capabilities, and expanding the company’s footprint across key sectors in the Kingdom.” She added that as Saudi Arabia builds on its position as the region’s largest digital talent cluster, the RHQ “will also play a critical role in nurturing local talent.”

• Planned headcount growth: MIT KSA intends to grow its Riyadh team over the coming year.
• Recruitment focus: hiring will prioritise cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure specialists to support an expanding client base.
• Regional advantage: the Saudi entity draws on Mannai Corporation QPSC’s 75-plus years of regional legacy and decades of technology expertise.

The company stresses the RHQ will leverage established delivery capabilities, technology partnerships, and enterprise experience from the wider Mannai group to execute complex projects in the Kingdom. By centralising resources in Riyadh, MIT KSA aims to shorten delivery timelines for government and enterprise customers and deepen local partnerships that underpin large-scale digital programmes.

Outlook

With the Riyadh RHQ now operational, MIT KSA plans to expand its footprint across targeted sectors and to accelerate work on cloud, cybersecurity and intelligent platform projects. The combination of local hiring, an expanded service portfolio and access to Mannai Corporation’s regional partnerships positions the company to compete for major digital transformation contracts tied to Vision 2030 priorities. Management has signalled continued investment in talent and delivery capability as the next steps in the company’s Saudi strategy.
