Zain

Zain Group is a multinational telecommunications company, headquartered in Kuwait, that operates in the Middle East and northern Africa. Founded in 1983 as MTC (Mobile Telecommunications Company), it expanded to several other Middle Eastern countries under different brand names (also acquiring Celtel, a pan-African operator, in 2005), before they were all unified under the Zain brand in September 2007. 
Zain operates in five Middle Eastern countries under its own brand, as well as Lebanon under the touch brand. In addition, it operates in Sudan and South Sudan under its own brand (having sold all of its operations in other African countries to Bharti Airtel in 2010), as well in Morocco under the inwi brand.
