Transforming the Future of Enterprise Planning

At o9, our mission is to be the Most Value-Creating Platform for enterprises by transforming decision-making through our AI-first approach. By integrating siloed planning capabilities and capturing millions—even billions—in value leakage, we help businesses plan smarter and faster.

This not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces waste, leading to better outcomes for both businesses and the planet. Global leaders like Google, PepsiCo, Walmart, T-Mobile, AB InBev, and Starbucks trust o9 to optimize their supply chains.

What our employees say:

It’s been around two years of working experience in o9 in Analytics COE team, but by each passing day I really enjoyed working here and each day turned out to be a learning experience for me. Each day comes up with some new challenges and results in new learnings.
