🚀 I just open-sourced 84+ real Zoho Deluge scripts — and they're completely FREE. Over 7 years of client work, I've solved hundreds of Zoho automation problems: → CRM deals automatically creating Projects with 24+ field mappings → Zoho Books invoices with VAT & ZATCA compliance auto-calculated → Bulk syncing Projects records into Creator portals → Tags auto-applied to tasks from Books location data → And so much more... Every script I've built? I'm putting it on GitHub. No paywalls. No signups. Just working Deluge code with real business use cases. 💡 Why free? Because the Zoho community — especially Afghan and South Asian business owners — deserves access to the same automation tools that large enterprises pay thousands for. 🔗 Explore all scripts here: 👉 github.com/rafiullahnikzad If a script saves you time today, all I ask is one ⭐ on the repo — it helps other Zoho users discover it. And if you need a custom Zoho solution built for your business, let's talk. #ZohoDeluge #ZohoCRM #ZohoAutomation #ZohoCreator #ZohoBooks #ZohoProjects #OpenSource #FreeCoding #ZohoDeveloper #ZohoPartner #BusinessAutomation #LowCode #NoCode #ZohoOne #Deluge #AfghanTech #PakistanTech #DigitalTransformation #ZohoCommunity #ZohoAfghanistan

SVC just published their 2025 Magnitt Report on the state of VC in Saudi. Here are the headlines: 1 - Saudi is the capital well: $1.7B deployed, 45% of all MENA VC, most deals in the region. 2 - We’re moving from startup formation to scale capital: Series B and mega rounds are back, exits are starting. This is where growth equity, PE, private credit, and structured capital can step up. Opportunities for secondaries could be attractive. 3 - Real economy wins: Fintech still leads, but logistics, commerce, travel, gaming, cyber are absorbing real money. Saudi-first, unit-economics-driven, regionally scalable businesses. Net: deeper capital stacks, more liquidity paths, and better entry points for expansion capital into KSA and beyond. Note: this is not financial advice. Curious how others here are seeing the Saudi VC cycle right now?

🧠 The Next OS Revolution: From Icons to Intent Saudi startup HUMAIN, backed by the Public Investment Fund, just announced Humain One: an AI-based operating system where you speak your intent instead of clicking icons.

For AI leaders, this signals a new frontier: - Voice-native workflows will redefine productivity and accessibility. - AI governance must expand to OS-level autonomy and decision traceability. - Sovereign compute becomes strategic — nations and enterprises alike will seek localized AI control. Humain One is a statement on AI sovereignty and the future of human-computer collaboration. The era of talking to your system — and trusting it to act — has begun. #CAIO #AILeadership #AgenticAI #DigitalSovereignty #WorldAICouncil #AITransformation #SaudiArabia #HumainOne #FutureOfWork

Lebanon has been going through a difficult period. And even with everything happening, we are still seeing companies actively hiring software engineers from Lebanon. One of our clients sent us this email asking if we could share profiles of recent graduates from our Artificial Intelligence Engineering (AIE) Bootcamp. It is a good reminder that business operations do not pause just because the news cycle shifts. Products still need to be built, code still needs to be shipped, and infrastructure still needs to be maintained. The demand for skilled engineers continues and teams are no longer limited by geography. In fact, companies are comfortable hiring talent from anywhere as long as the work gets done. For software engineers in Lebanon, this global demand plays a major role in keeping opportunities available, even during uncertain times.

In the MENA region, loyalty isn’t going digital — it’s going phygital. Malls in our region aren’t just shopping centers — they’re social ecosystems. Families meet, dine, and shop — all while engaging digitally through apps, wallets, and QR-based offers. The real opportunity isn’t about bringing customers online. It’s about bringing digital intelligence into every physical moment. When a shopper walks into a store, scans a QR code, or redeems a reward, each of those actions should connect into one unified customer journey. That’s phygital loyalty — where AI, data, and context work together to deliver personalized experiences both in-store and online. Across the GCC, we’re already seeing: ✅ Mall operators building shared engagement ecosystems ✅ Retailers connecting in-store POS with mobile triggers ✅ AI systems predicting intent and rewarding instantly Because in the end, loyalty isn’t built on points — it’s built on presence. #Phygital #CustomerEngagement #LoyaltyInnovation #MENA #RetailTransformation #AI #CX #DigitalExperience #SaaS #Datanuum
