Indian SaaS provider Unicommerce is partnering with Saudi Post-owned Naqel Express to integrate e-commerce logistics across the Kingdom and the wider GCC, as per an exchange filing. The move expands the trade channel between India and Saudi Arabia.

The details: The partnership links Unicommerce’s technology with Naqel’s 5k delivery points, allowing Saudi Arabia’s e-ecommerce platforms to manage warehousing, cross-border shipping and last-mile delivery through a single dashboard developed by Unicommerce. Crucially, it establishes a formal cross-border channel for Saudi e-commerce sellers targeting the Indian market. These businesses will also be able to deliver seamlessly across the GCC, Jordan, and Lebanon through the integrated platform.

THE CONTEXT- Unicommerce has been expanding in the Gulf, already serving clients like the UAE’s Redtag and RSA Global. This deal cements its shift from a market entrant to a serious infrastructure provider in the Kingdom.

Why it matters: The Kingdom’s legacy state-owned players are increasingly outsourcing their software layer to Indian tech firms to enhance tech adoption. Recently, Chennai-based tech firm Zoho secured certification as a cloud service from the Saudi Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, allowing the firm to host restricted government and commercial data.

TCS incorporates its subsidiary in Saudi Arabia

Mumbai-based IT services giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has incorporated its regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia, according to a regulatory filing. The move aligns with the kingdom’s requirement for multinational companies to maintain a licensed regional HQ to participate in government and semi-government project bidding.

The entity was incorporated on 18 January 2026 and has been set up as a step-down subsidiary of TCS through Tata Consultancy Services Netherlands. TCS disclosed an initial investment of INR 37 mn (USD 0.44 mn) in the subsidiary.
