Omni HR will use the fresh funding to expand and further develop its product offerings across the Asia Pacific region and scale up its localisation efforts, including launching a multi-country payroll.
Founded in 2021 by former Goldman Sachs executive Brian Ip, Omni HR provides a unified, data-driven workspace for teams to automate HR tasks, manage teams, and handle multi-country payroll from a single platform. It automates manual HR processes from multi-country payroll to performance management while integrating with renowned office productivity suites.
“Asia has long been overlooked in the HR tech landscape, forcing companies to choose between global platforms that lack localisation or local platforms that fail to scale. We’re changing that by building natively for Asia, blending localised features with modern functionalities like automations and flexible workflows. Designed for the needs of modern, multi-country teams, we aim to be the foundational operating system for seamless and effective employee management,” said founder and CEO Brian Ip.
Currently, it serves hundreds of customers across Asia, with end users spanning 79 countries.
It claims to have helped optimise global workforce management—with nearly 70 per cent of its customers running multi-country teams—for a list of customers, including Endowus and Funding Societies.

As more businesses look to capitalise on this boom, navigating the complexities of managing a global workforce with regional nuances will prove to be a major HR challenge.
