Omni has acquired MajuHR, Singapore's HR platform that lets employees handle HR tasks through their everyday messaging apps. This acquisition addresses a major pain point for Asian businesses who have been stuck choosing between basic local solutions or juggling multiple point solutions that create data silos. MajuHR customers now gain access to Omni's multi-country payroll and compliance capabilities, while Omni customers benefit from enhanced messaging integrations. Together, we're building comprehensive HR technology that actually fits how modern Asian businesses operate across multiple countries, strengthening our position in Asia's fragmented $6.4 billion HR software market.

Running a growing business in Asia means dealing with juggling complex realities: your team spans multiple countries, each with different regulations, and your HR needs keep getting more complex. For too long, companies have been stuck choosing between basic local solutions that lack modern capabilities or piecing together multiple point solutions that create data silos and integration headaches.

That's exactly why we're thrilled to announce Omni has acquired MajuHR, Singapore's omnichannel HR platform that lets employees handle HR tasks through common messaging apps—the way they naturally communicate. This is our first acquisition, and it represents something bigger than just adding customers to our roster—it's about finally giving Asian businesses the comprehensive HR solution they've been waiting for.

Why now?

Here's what we've learned from working with hundreds of companies across Asia: Asia's $6.4 billion HR software market is incredibly fragmented. There’s no shortage of HRIS tools, but there is a shortage of intuitive, consolidated HRIS that actually work for how businesses operate in this region. Companies end up juggling multiple tools, dealing with compliance headaches, and constantly worrying about whether their systems can handle expansion into new markets.

When we looked at MajuHR, we saw a company that brought us another step closer to a solution. They built something practical—HR software that works through the messaging apps your team already uses every day. While we've focused on the heavy lifting of multi-country employee management and compliance, they solved for making HR communications feel natural and accessible.

What this actually means for your business

This acquisition is really about consolidation—bringing together capabilities that were previously scattered across different providers.

For MajuHR's existing customers, you get to keep the conversational HR experience you love while gaining access to multi-country capabilities. A company that started with MajuHR for their Singapore team can now seamlessly expand payroll to the Philippines, set up compliance in Malaysia, and manage performance reviews across all locations—without losing the simplicity that drew them to MajuHR originally.

For companies already using Omni, this acquisition strengthens our platform with:

  • Enhanced communication capabilities - Access to more seamless integration with your team’s favorite messaging apps
  • Expanded market expertise - Deeper insights from MajuHR's experience with conversational HR in Southeast Asia
  • Broader client portfolio - More case studies and best practices from companies successfully scaling across the region
  • Stronger competitive position - A more comprehensive solution that addresses both enterprise complexity and user experience

Explore the ROI of Omni

Roshan Ravishankar, Co-founder of MajuHR, puts it perfectly: "Omni's track record in multi-country employee management across Asia is second to none. We're thrilled to bring our chat-native DNA under the Omni banner and collectively unlock a more seamless, data-rich experience for HR and Finance leaders across the region."

The reality is that many regional providers focus on single-country solutions or basic compliance, while modern Asian businesses need sophisticated capabilities that can handle multi-country complexity without losing the local expertise that makes operations smooth.

Looking Ahead: Building the Future of Work in Asia

Omni HR supports multi-country HR operations cross Asia

This acquisition puts us in a stronger position to better serve companies expanding across Asia. We're not trying to be everything to everyone—we're focused on being the best solution for companies that need to operate across multiple Asian markets.

We plan to continue investing in deeper localization and exploring additional partnerships for future growth through both product development and strategic opportunities to better serve growing mid-market and enterprise clients across Asia.

But here's what really excites us: we're laying the groundwork for a future where HR technology actually fits how Asian businesses operate. Where scaling across borders doesn't mean compromising on user experience and compliance is handled seamlessly in the background while employees interact with HR in ways that feel natural.

Since founding Omni in 2021, we've grown to serve teams across 80+ countries and earned recognition from publications like Forbes and CNN. This acquisition isn't just about expanding our reach—it's about proving that Asian businesses deserve HR technology built specifically for their needs.

The future of work in Asia is multi-country, culturally aware, and simple to use. We're building toward that future, one strategic move at a time.
