The capital will support Rihal’s efforts to scale its proprietary SaaS platforms, expand across regional and international markets, and fuel the next phase of digital transformation.

From Local Roots to Global Ambitions

Founded in 2018, Rihal positions itself as a data-driven enabler for organizations seeking digital transformation. The company delivers solutions across a range of industries, including:

Its suite of offerings covers data management, robotic process automation, artificial intelligence, IT resourcing, and software engineering, allowing enterprises to adopt modern technologies at scale.

Focus on Proprietary Platforms

With the new funding, Rihal intends to accelerate the growth of its proprietary platforms. These tools are designed to simplify data management and empower businesses with advanced analytics capabilities. By scaling these products, the company aims to meet rising global demand for AI-driven solutions.

The company’s strategy is built around three pillars:

  • Regional expansion – strengthening its presence in the Gulf and beyond.
  • Global reach – entering new markets with scalable SaaS products.

This funding also aligns with Oman’s broader digital transformation vision, as the country positions itself as a hub for innovation and technology-driven growth in the region.

Preparing for Second Close

Rihal is now preparing for the second close of its Series A round. The company is seeking strategic investors who share its mission of delivering enterprise-grade solutions that unlock the potential of data and AI.

The additional funding will allow Rihal to:

  • Broaden its international footprint.
