Companies operating in Asia face a major HR challenge. Existing global HR solutions aren't designed for the region's specific needs, and local solutions often lack modern capabilities. With nearly 70% of our clients having a global workforce, Omni’s Asia-focused HR platform is closing that gap. We’re thrilled to announce we’ve recently secured $7.4 million in funding to continue building what fast-growing companies operating in Asia truly need—sophisticated, flexible workflows that work seamlessly across borders while maintaining the localization that their modern workforce requires to operate in the region.
Born from Global Experience, Built for Asia
The brainchild of our founder and CEO, Brian Ip, a former Goldman Sachs executive who experienced firsthand the shortcomings of existing HR solutions for Asia-based companies, Omni HR was born from a desire for representation. “Companies and executives are constantly presented with solutions and resources built under a Western lens, we wanted to build something for the region, by the region.” says Ip. Having witnessed the dilemma of businesses forced to choose between clunky legacy systems and global platforms that overlooked local complexities, our team set out to build Omni, a flexible and holistic HR platform that has global capabilities while offering a unique focus on Asia-based teams. Today, over 60% of our clients leverage our advanced modules like Performance Management and Engagement, underscoring our commitment to providing a truly holistic HR solution that caters to the specific needs of Asian businesses.

A Solution with a Global Reach and Local Touch
"We saw a gap in the market," says Ip. “Companies needed a modern platform that could handle the nuances of different countries, while still offering robust data analytics and streamlined workflows."
Enter Omni HR. Our data-driven platform provides a unified workspace for HR teams, automating tasks, managing employees, and handling multi-country payroll – all from a single platform. But that's not all.
"What truly sets us apart is our deep understanding of the Asian market," explains Ip. "We've built our platform with local regulations and cultural intricacies in mind, something often overlooked by global HRIS solutions."
Fueling Expansion and Innovation
This latest round of funding, led by Picus Capital with participation from prominent investors Alpha JWC Ventures, January Capital, and Ratio Ventures, brings Omni HR's total funding to $9.8 million. The fresh capital will be used to fuel our expansion across Asia Pacific, enhance our multi-country payroll capabilities—currently supporting 10+ countries across Asia Pacific as well as the US and UK—and further develop our product offerings to better serve our customers.
“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. 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.” - Naman Jhawar, Partner – Head of India & SEA, Picus Capital
