Zenda is a modern technology-led service focused on and purpose-built for the education sector. On one side is a friendly app for families that simplifies discovery and payments, for tuition- and education-related services. On the other side, Zenda's innovative technology stack integrates deeply with the platforms used in the educational sector, thereby enabling end-to-end digitization, improving controls and cash-flow predictability, and eliminating manual efforts/reconciliations. Today, Zenda serves 23% of the K-12 market in the UAE. Additionally, it is already present in 300+ schools across India and Qatar, with pilot schools going live in KSA and Bahrain in December as well. As a company, its mission is simply to help families thrive.

  • FOUNDED IN: 2021
  • SECTOR: TECHNOLOGY

"Unlike other sectors like food ordering or e-commerce, last-mile customer experience for a parent and an institution still carries a lot of friction. Old approaches continue. Our aspiration is to redesign financial services, contextualized for solving specific use cases of schools/institutions and parents, in a manner not done so far."
