It started on YouTube
Before India’s digital revolution, when few businesses took online video seriously, our founder Shakir ZainCo started a YouTube channel, Zain TV, to understand how the platform and its audience really worked.

ZainCo is born
In 2016, Shakir founded ZainCo. The name comes from the Arabic word zain, meaning good: ZainCo simply means Good Company. It is a promise we still try to keep with every client.
From Calicut, the team began helping local businesses with branding, design and the new world of digital marketing.

From Kerala to the GCC
After the Covid pandemic, India went through a real digital revolution, and businesses everywhere needed to be online. ZainCo grew with it and expanded into the GCC, opening our Oman branch as NextaOne.

Brands that trust us
Since then we have worked with more than 500 brands across India and the GCC. They include established names like Elaria Soap, with Mammootty as brand ambassador, Tasty Food in the UAE, Technozone KSA and Santec Chemicals in Kerala.
Our people started collecting awards of their own. Jiyad ZainCo has been recognised for branding and creative design, and Rashid VK for video production.
The same year, we started 360 Digi Academy to train the graphic designers and digital marketers our agency needed. It grew far beyond that: today it has trained 1,000+ students across 2 branches in Kerala, and its graduates work as professionals in Malta, the UK, the UAE and beyond.

Best Marketing Agency in Kerala
As the marketing partner for South India’s largest retail expo, we were named Best Marketing Agency in Kerala in 2024 and again in 2026, after first being recognised for the expo in 2022. The awards came from results: thousands more retailers, hundreds more stalls and sponsors who earned back far more than they spent.
Today ZainCo is growing into software. Through ZainCo Intelligent Studio, we build CRM, ERP and other business products, so the companies we help market can also run better behind the scenes.
