DUBAI, May 30, 2024
LuLu Group International, one of the top retail conglomerates in the GCC, is partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company, to host its business applications critical for day-to-day operations such as accounting, procurement, risk management, and supply chain activities.
This move is a cornerstone of LuLu’s broader digital transformation strategy, aimed at enhancing operational efficiencies and supporting its expansion strategies, said a statement.

The partnership was cemented in the context of LuLu's ambitious expansion plans across the GCC and beyond. AWS was chosen over other providers due to its superior capabilities in handling large-scale migrations and minimizing unplanned downtimes, it said.
“As we embark on our next phase of expansion and diversification across various verticals and markets, we believe AWS Cloud will be an ideal partner for us in our digital and tech transformation. The global expertise and innovation driven approach of AWS Cloud will surely help us further strengthen various business processes, not only internal but also customer experience,” commented Saifee Rupawala, CEO of Lulu Group.
