UAE-based digital gifting platform Udora has secured $10 million in a private funding round to support its regional expansion plans, with operations in Saudi Arabia expected to launch by Q3 2026.

Founded over a decade ago, Udora operates as a digital gifting marketplace connecting customers with local sellers across flowers, confectionery, and handmade products, spanning more than 50 markets and 1,500 cities worldwide.

The company plans to use the new funding to accelerate expansion through technological innovation and product development, strengthening its position amid rising demand for digital gifting solutions in the region.

Slava Bogdan, Founder and CEO of Udora, said the new investment comes at a time of strong growth in the digital gifting sector, particularly across the Gulf markets. He noted that Udora captured around 6% of the UAE market in 2025, generating over $3 million in transactions, with expectations of doubling growth across active markets in the coming year.

Saudi Arabia represents a key pillar in Udora’s expansion strategy, driven by a young population and rapid adoption of digital commerce.

The company is focusing on deeper localization by tailoring gifting packages to local seasons and cultural occasions, adapting payment methods and delivery models to the Saudi market, and building new partnerships with local suppliers.
