Shojin poised to unveil new partnerships in the Gulf

Shojin is set to unveil new partnerships that it has secured at a fintech event in Saudi Arabia, as it looks to grow its presence in the Gulf.

The UK-headquartered property investment platform was part of a trade delegation that attended the 24 Fintech event in the Kingdom.

Other UK fintechs forming the delegation – organised by the Saudi British Joint Business Council and the Department for Business and Trade – included Wise, Zopa Bank and NayaOne.

Shojin chief executive Jatin Ondhia (pictured) said that he was speaking to a variety of companies at the event with a view to securing partners and investors.

“I’m really excited to be meeting with a number of companies that could be potential partners, investors in the projects and investors at a corporate level,” he said in a video posted by Shojin on business networking site LinkedIn.

“All of this is part of our strategy to really grow in the broader GCC region. So we really look forward to announcing very soon some partnerships that we’ve signed up while we’re here in Saudi.”

Shojin has been on a global expansion drive of late. Last month, it announced that it has partnered with Asian digital securities exchange Alta to expand its offering to a wider investor base.

And in May, it unveiled six new hires as part of its continued international growth strategy.
