Tech Mahindra and Thomson Reuters, a global content and technology company, reported an alliance to accelerate compliance transformation across the Middle East and North Africa(MENA). This comes at a crucial time, as the region prepares for the mandatory e-invoicing framework set to take effect from July 2026.
Combining Tech Mahindra’s enterprise resource planning (ERP), consulting, and managed services expertise with Thomson Reuters solutions in a consolidated value proposition, the organisations will jointly target new customers in the MENA region. Tech Mahindra will work together with Thomson Reuters to ensure that the customers experience seamless implementation, integration, and support.
Harshul Asnani, President and Head – Europe Business, Tech Mahindra, said, “The MENA region is transitioning toward a mandatory e-invoicing framework, and businesses are facing mounting pressure to adopt scalable and regulation-ready solutions. By combining deep domain expertise and delivery capabilities of Tech Mahindra and Thomson Reuters, the alliance will empower enterprises to comply with evolving mandates and transform their tax and finance operations for the digital era. Together, we are enabling organisations to drive efficiency, reduce risk, and prepare for long-term success.”
The alliance will directly address the evolving tax and compliance landscape in the MENA region. Businesses will benefit from automated compliance, real-time regulatory updates, and audit-ready reporting, along with significant cost savings in invoice processing and faster implementation cycles. Through the collaboration, enterprises across industries, including Construction, Manufacturing, BFSI and Travel & Logistics, will also achieve smoother multi-country rollouts, improve operational efficiency, and enhance strategic agility.
Vishal Bali, Managing Director of Asia and Emerging Markets, Thomson Reuters, said, “We are delighted to join forces with Tech Mahindra to help organisations across the MENA region navigate the complexities of e-invoicing and tax compliance. As regulatory requirements evolve and digital transformation accelerates, our combined expertise will ensure that businesses are equipped with the future-ready solutions needed to achieve seamless compliance, operational efficiency, and strategic growth.”
The companies aim to lay the foundation for future engagements, extending beyond compliance to enable localisation and advanced analytics. The strategic alliance between Tech Mahindra and Thomson Reuters in MENA will also serve as a blueprint for expanding similar models into other regions, bringing consistency and compliance readiness to multinational enterprises.
