About
Built in Abu Dhabi, for how the Gulf works
Talsila comes from operators who spent years running external teams across the region and kept hitting the same wall: the work was serious, and the tooling was a spreadsheet.
The name
Talsila joins talent with sila, the Arabic word for link or connection. It also echoes silsila, a chain: a sequence of trusted links. That is the product in one word. Every external worker becomes a strong, verified link in one connected chain of work, from request to payment to record.
What we are building
Software, not services. Talsila is a platform and a system of record for the external workforce, with an AI layer that prepares decisions and a hard rule that we never hold anyone's money.
We are starting in the UAE with a small group of design partners, and we will expand into Saudi Arabia from Abu Dhabi.
The team
The founders
Between them: two decades of strategy and transformation work in the Gulf, AI delivery for investment and government clients, and the operational scars that produced this product.
