Ogram, a leading UAE-based HR tech company specializing in flexible staffing solutions, has announced a $3 million investment from Tanami Capital. Founded in 2017 by Karim Qutli and Shafik Khartabil, Ogram is an on-demand staffing marketplace connecting job seekers with employers in industries such as retail, hospitality, and logistics.
The primary goal of this investment is to support Ogram’s expansion into the Saudi Arabian market, with a sharp focus on the retail and hospitality sectors. In addition to market expansion, the funds will be used to strengthen working capital and introduce an early wage payment program for platform workers, enhancing their financial flexibility.
Shafik Khartabil, co-founder and CEO of Ogram, expressed his optimism, stating, “This funding will enable us to enhance our presence in Saudi Arabia and deliver exceptional services to clients and job seekers through our innovative workforce solutions.”
Ogram’s journey has been one of rapid growth. This latest funding round follows an undisclosed funding round in July 2024, led by Oraseya Capital, along with Aditum Investment Management and Everywhere VC participation.
By expanding its operations in Saudi Arabia, Ogram aims to tap into the region’s growing demand for flexible staffing solutions in two of the fastest-growing sectors: retail and hospitality. The company continues to innovate in the HR tech space, offering solutions tailored to meet the dynamic needs of modern businesses.
With its proven track record and a fresh infusion of funds, Ogram is poised to strengthen its position as a leading digital staffing platform, not just in Saudi Arabia, but across the Middle East.
