For the GCC · UAE · Saudi Arabia
Your team works your full Gulf hours, in your time, genuinely live, not a relay, and costs a fraction of local hiring.
GCC companies get a team that works their full Gulf working day, in their own time, not a partial overlap window. India is only 1.5 hours ahead of the UAE and 2.5 hours ahead of Saudi Arabia, so aligning to your hours is effortless. dpoint provides dedicated, full-time designers, writers, social media managers and marketers from about AED 1,840 a month per person, all-in, with no recruiting fee.
Why GCC companies choose dpoint
Your team works your full Gulf working day, in your time. India is just 1.5 hours ahead of the UAE and 2.5 hours ahead of Saudi Arabia, so a Gulf working day (about 10:30 to 19:30 India time for Dubai) sits almost entirely inside a normal Indian working day and collaboration is genuinely live, not relay.
Across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf, demand for creative, marketing and digital capacity is outrunning local hiring. A managed offshore team gives you senior people fast, without the cost or the wait.
Hire a full managed pod, designer, writer, social and marketing, for roughly what a single experienced hire costs in the Gulf, with retention that keeps your knowledge in house.
Your week, their shift
Your team follows your working days as well as your hours. India Standard Time is UTC+5:30, and neither India nor the Gulf changes its clocks, so these shifts hold all year.
| Country | Working week | Your day | India shift (IST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) | Monday to Friday | 9:00 to 18:00 | 10:30 to 19:30 |
| Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah) | Sunday to Thursday | 9:00 to 18:00 | 11:30 to 20:30 |
Running both markets? Tell us which week each person should follow. Elsewhere in the GCC, the team works your local week and hours, agreed in writing before anyone starts.

E-commerce and D2C
Gulf e-commerce runs on constant social and a steady flow of product and ad creative, with sharp peaks around Ramadan, Eid, White Friday and national days. A dedicated pod keeps every channel fed on a week-ahead calendar, working your hours and your week.
More on how brands use a pod: dpoint for e-commerce.
The team works in fluent English. For bilingual campaigns, we can prioritise team members comfortable working alongside Arabic-language content, with your Arabic-language reviewers approving every Arabic line before it goes live.
If you need original Arabic copywriting, keep it with a native Arabic writer on your side. The team then builds the English versions, the artwork and the posting schedule around that approved copy, so both languages ship together.

FAQ
