Health insurance claims management firm established in Oman
Green Line Health Insurance Claims Management Company is the first Omani company licensed for this activity, supported by a national vision consistent with the directives of Oman Vision 2040, aiming to provide services with global standards using the latest technologies, and to enhance and empower national competencies to undertake a key role in this new field.
Faisal Hamad Al Rashdi, Co-founder and CEO of Green Line Insurance Services, stated that, due to his long experience in the health insurance sector, he observed the operational challenges facing this sector, whether at the level of insurance companies, healthcare providers, or even policyholders.
Given a clear gap in claims management, Al Rashdi decided to establish this company, especially with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) announcing the opening for applications to practice health insurance claims management as an independent and regulated activity. This presented a national opportunity to establish a specialized local company that contributes to building this vital sector.
He explained that the market lacked a specialized company in health insurance claims management, with a greater reliance on foreign companies managing operations from outside Oman. This affected the speed and quality of services, in addition to the possibility of health data, which is highly sensitive, being leaked through external systems. The Financial Services Authority had taken the initiative to issue clear legislation to ensure the protection of this data within Oman.
He noted that the company represents a reliable source managed by national competencies, meeting market needs through its proximity to clients, which directly reflects on work quality and the speed of transaction completion.
Faisal Al Rashdi said that it is natural for any sector to face some challenges when entering a phase of change, especially when there are long-standing working relationships between the market and external parties that have managed this activity for decades. However, he stressed the necessity of redoubling efforts to build trust and confirm readiness to provide high-standard services that meet the needs and aspirations of target groups, in addition to full compliance with national regulations.
As for the project's nature, he mentioned that the company offers a comprehensive package of services in health insurance claims management that meets international standards. These include accurate and prompt medical claims management, medical and administrative verification using smart systems to detect duplication and errors, as a step towards time management. It also covers medical network management, from contracting with hospitals and clinics to ensuring the quality of service provided to policyholders, in addition to data analysis and smart reporting that helps insurance companies make decisions based on accurate data.
He emphasized that the company relies heavily on digital solutions and modern technologies, including artificial intelligence, for faster data analysis and the automation of routine operations using robotic process automation (RPA), which reduces manual errors and saves time and effort. Furthermore, it is fully integrated with the national platform developed by the Financial Services Authority ("Dhamani" platform), which has been approved for fully electronic operations.
He clarified that the company handles data confidentially, storing client data on company-owned servers only, without relying on external servers, to ensure complete control over information security. It applies best cybersecurity standards, such as advanced data encryption during transmission and storage, firewalls, and intrusion detection and prevention systems. Additionally, access permissions are granted on a limited and well-considered basis according to the employees' job roles, along with adherence to all local and international laws and regulations related to data protection and periodic reviews to ensure continuous compliance.

Dubai-based self.space studios empower women through AI-driven privacy, culture
Founders Mitia Muravev and Peter Bondarenko share insights into how their groundbreaking studio is redefining self-portraiture in the GCC by blending technology, culture, and autonomy. Photography in the GCC has traditionally been shaped by cultural sensitivities around modesty and privacy. Recognising the need for a new approach, founders Mitia Muravev (CEO) and Peter Bondarenko (CPO) have created the region's first AI-powered, privacy-first self-portrait studio. Combining advanced AI technology with stringent data security, offers women an empowering space where they maintain absolute control over their images and self-expression. TahawulTech spoke with Muravev and Bondarenko to uncover how is not only reshaping photography standards but also resonating deeply with the cultural values and personal empowerment of women across the region. Interview Excerpts: was born from a very distinct cultural insight about privacy and modesty. What was the moment that inspired you to build a privacy‑first studio in the GCC? Self‑portraiture isn't new—the first shutter release came with the first camera—but dedicated self‑portrait studios are still a young trend. When we spotted it, we loved the idea yet saw it needed tailoring for the Gulf. During an early test booth in Dubai, we watched women edge past a traditional photo stand, then visibly relax when they realised ours had no photographer. One guest said, 'No one is judging my abaya, my hair, my pose.' That single reaction framed our entire roadmap. We built around three pillars that matter deeply here: privacy, advanced technology and genuine hospitality. Respect those values and demand follows; ignore them and even the best tech stays unused. You call 'a moment of radical self‑ownership.' How does your technology give women control, and how do you keep the AI authentic while still editorial‑grade? The processing model belongs to us; we control every parameter—no third‑party software, no external API calls. Control starts at the shutter. The guest presses the remote, the raw file encrypts locally, and a one‑time password is sent only to her phone. The image then travels through an encrypted tunnel to our private GPU cloud, where our in‑house AI model lives. Because the model runs on a dedicated, isolated cluster that we manage—not a public service—we can tune every parameter and audit every call. We trained that model on tens of thousands of portraits to strike a single balance: polish without disguise. It adjusts light and colour, calms minor skin distractions, yet protects freckles, pores and expression lines. We would rather leave a tiny blemish than cross into face‑changing beautification. The processed file returns to the guest's gallery in seconds, still under her sole password. In short, she triggers the shutter, we handle the safeguarding, and she alone decides whether the image ever leaves her private vault. After the MVP at Arab Media Summit, what feedback from Emirati women shaped the final studio? We learned the most from the queues themselves. Women who shot with us on the first day came back the next morning half an hour before doors opened, this time bringing friends so they could shoot longer. Their enthusiasm highlighted two things. First, the core technology was solid; what needed polishing were the comfort cues—every button colour, the softness of the curtains, the timing of on‑screen prompts. We fine‑tuned those micro‑details so the room feels instantly relaxing. Second, the summit's shaky internet exposed a bottleneck in our secure upload flow. Back at the lab we rewrote our compression, processing and encrypted‑transfer modules, so even with poor connectivity the system now runs smoothly. The most important feedback wasn't verbal; it was their willingness to queue twice. That confirmed is more than entertainment—it is a culturally meaningful service women are ready to claim as their own. Privacy and data security are critical. What protocols guarantee absolute privacy and zero breaches? We built on a privacy‑by‑design architecture rather than bolting security on later. Every step—from shutter click to gallery delivery—runs on isolated hardware inside the studio; no file ever travels to a public cloud. 'The moment a frame is captured, the system encrypts it locally and pairs it with a one‑time password sent only to the guest's phone.' Our in‑house AI model is more than a retoucher; it orchestrates the entire pipeline. It verifies that each capture was guest‑triggered, authenticates the device state, and blocks any attempt to export data outside the secure loop. The same model continuously checks file integrity, monitors for anomalous requests, and logs only anonymised session metadata for analytics. Staff dashboards can see usage statistics but never the images themselves. On top of the automated checks, we run quarterly external penetration tests and follow a strict 'minimal exposure' rule: if a subsystem is not essential for guest control, it stays disconnected. In practice that has meant zero breaches and zero incidents since our first pilot. What is your long‑term vision, and how will you adapt beyond Dubai? Our goal is to make privacy‑first, self‑led portraiture as ordinary as a spa visit. The Dubai flagship proves the concept, mobile pop‑ups bring it to events, and next year we'll open studios in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Doha and Riyadh. The core stack is portable, so localisation is surface work: multilingual mirror UIs here, a colour‑first mode there for fashion‑heavy markets. Long term we see a network of calm, tech‑light rooms across major cities where anyone can mark a life milestone—or simply refresh a profile photo—without stress. The broader we go, the more universal the idea of self‑ownership becomes.

UAE: Over 33,900 companies exempted from corporate tax late registration penalty
Over 33,900 companies in the UAE have benefitted from the penalty waiver initiative for late corporate tax registration, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) said on Tuesday. The authority, meanwhile, has renewed its call for corporate tax registrants who have not yet registered to expedite the submission of their registration applications, and to then file their tax returns through the 'EmaraTax' digital tax services platform for their first tax period. This is in order to benefit from the initiative, which applies to taxable entities and some exempt persons required to register with the Authority. The Authority stressed that Thursday, July 31 will be the final deadline to benefit from the initiative for the majority of corporate taxpayers whose first tax period coincides with the calendar year—from January 1 to December 31, 2024. To qualify, they must complete all registration procedures and submit their corporate tax returns via the EmaraTax platform before the end of July. The FTA emphasised that failure to meet the conditions by July 31 will result in ineligibility for the exemption, and a late registration penalty of Dh10,000 will be imposed on unregistered entities. The FTA clarified that to qualify for the waiver of the late registration penalty, the taxable person (or the exempt person required to register) must submit their corporate tax return (or annual declaration) within no more than seven months from the end of their first tax period (or financial year), instead of the usual nine-month deadline. The Penalty Waiver Initiative, the FTA reiterated, only applies to the first tax period of the taxable person or required exempt persons.
