The company serves consumer, enterprise, and government customers across eight markets: Kuwait (flagship operation), Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon (as touch), Sudan, and South Sudan, with 49 million active customers as of year-end 2024. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Kuwait City, Zain lists on the Kuwait Stock Exchange (ZAIN.KW) with major shareholders including Omantel (21.9%) and Kuwait Investment Authority (15.9%); it was originally established as Mobile Telecommunications Company and rebranded to Zain in 2007. Recent developments include Zain Group's FY2024 consolidated revenue reaching a 15-year high of KD 2 billion (USD 6.4 billion), up 3% year-over-year, with normalized net income growing 15% to KD 208 million (USD 677 million). In October 2024, ZainTECH entered a strategic partnership with DATANUUM to enhance customer data enrichment, engagement, and retention for retail and healthcare sectors across the MENA region. Zain Iraq completed a tower sale and leaseback deal, while Zain KSA and operations pursued 5G expansions, Open RAN trials in Kuwait, and a landmark tower portfolio merger with Ooredoo to form the region's largest TowerCo exceeding 30,000 towers; Zain Kuwait launched managed cloud and cybersecurity services powered by ZainTECH.
