Singapore-based employee management platform, Omni HR, has on Monday announced it has recently closed $7.4 million in funding, bringing its total funding to date to $9.8 million since its founding in 2021 by former Goldman Sachs executive Brian Ip.

Omni HR said in a statement that the round was led by Picus Capital, with participation from Alpha JWC Ventures, January Capital, and Ratio Ventures.

Capitalizing on its strong market traction—continuously growing in the double digits, month over month, Omni will use the funding to expand and further develop its product
offerings across the Asia Pacific region and further scale up its localization efforts, including the launch of multi-country payroll.

The firm noted that building what fast-growing companies operating in Asia truly need—sophisticated, flexible workflows that work seamlessly across borders while maintaining localization for their modern workforce.

“Asia has long been overlooked in the HR tech landscape, forcing companies to choose between global platforms that lack localization or local platforms that fail to scale,

“We’re changing that by building natively for Asia, blending localized features with modern functionalities like automations and flexible workflows,” said Brian Ip, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Omni HR.

“Designed for the needs of modern, multi-country teams, we aim to be the foundational operating system for seamless and effective employee management,” he added.

Founded in 2021, Omni HR is a software-as-a-service company that provides a unified, data-driven workspace for modern People teams to automate HR tasks, manage teams, and handle multi-country payroll from a single platform.

Its platform currently offers features to automate manual HR processes from multi-country payroll to performance management, while integrating with renowned office productivity suites.

The firm is currently serving hundreds of customers across Asia, with end users spanning 79 countries.

“We at Picus Capital are thrilled to partner with Omni HR as they revolutionize the HR tech landscape,

“Their innovative, full-stack approach addresses critical pain points for organizations, enabling them to streamline their operations and enhance employee experience,” said Naman Jhawar, Partner – Head of India and Southeast Asia, Picus Capital.

“We firmly believe in their vision and the potential to set new benchmarks in the industry,

“This investment reflects our commitment to backing forward-thinking founders who are transforming the future of work,” he added.

It is noted that rapid economic growth and business expansion within the Asia Pacific (APAC) — staggering estimates in a recent McKinsey report attribute 70 percent of global post-pandemic economic growth to the region —underscores the critical need for HR solutions that cater to the region’s unique characteristics.

As more businesses look to capitalize on this boom, navigating the complexities of managing a global workforce with regional nuances will prove to be a major HR challenge; one that Omni HR is prepared to solve.

“As one of Omni HR’s early partners, we at Alpha JWC Ventures have had the privilege of witnessing their growth and commitment to transforming workforce management,

“Their ability to combine localization with innovation by providing users with one of the industry’s most integrated and easy-to-use HR platforms has set them apart in the industry,” said Jefrey Joe, Co-Founder and General Partner, Alpha JWC Ventures.

“We are proud to deepen our partnership as they expand regionally, continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in HR tech,” he added.
