is expanding its bet on Kenya’s fast-growing small business sector through a partnership with the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI), offering software credits, training and digital skills programs as competition intensifies for Africa’s millions of underserved enterprises. The privately held software company said on Wednesday that eligible KNCCI members will receive KSh65,000 ($500) in Zoho Wallet credits to access its portfolio of more than 60 cloud-based business applications, ranging from accounting and payroll to customer relationship management and workplace collaboration.
The announcement, made at the company’s Zoholics Kenya 2026 conference in Nairobi, underscores Zoho’s growing focus on East Africa as businesses increasingly adopt cloud software and artificial intelligence to improve productivity and reduce operating costs. “Kenya continues to be one of our fastest-growing markets as more businesses embrace digital transformation to improve resilience and competitiveness,” said Veerakumar Natarajan, Country Head of Zoho Kenya.
Beyond subsidized software access, the partnership includes onboarding support, implementation assistance, workshops and digital skills training aimed at helping SMEs successfully adopt business technology. Zoho and KNCCI will also run joint marketing campaigns and educational programs to encourage digital adoption across Kenya.
