TELUS Digital has also recently expanded its global delivery capabilities with new locations in Cape Town, South Africa, and Ahmedabad, India, enhancing its ability to provide multilingual support and specialized expertise in digital transformation and AI services.
The Dubai office will serve as a regional hub for TELUS Digital to support clients across various sectors including energy, transportation, healthcare, financial services, telecom, hospitality, and retail.
Mona Kadouh, Managing Director of TELUS Digital Middle East, will lead the new Dubai operation, which will leverage the company’s proprietary GenAI and AI data platforms to address specific client challenges in the region. The company’s strong financial position, with a healthy gross profit margin of nearly 60% and consistent profitability, suggests robust operational capabilities to support this expansion.
