Series C and beyond ORO’ s recent US $ 100m Series C funding gives the company additional firepower at a moment when procurement technology is being re-evaluated across the market. The founders see the raise as evidence that ORO is defining a new category of autonomous procurement.
Sudhir says the ambition is to become“ the definitive procurement orchestration platform on the planet”. He adds that the company has the technology, the infrastructure, the team and the customer backing to keep scaling.
Looking ahead, ORO expects procurement to become more autonomous, more self-service and more expert-led, rather than dominated by shared services and manual labour arbitrage. Sudhir says agentic orchestration will allow businesses to move at“ lightning speed” while remaining compliant.
Lalitha says the ultimate prize is a more valuable procurement function, one that gives the business an unfair advantage rather than simply policing process. As she puts it, procurement should be able to do“ more cool stuff”.
