01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
O4S (Original4Sure) was a Gurugram, India-based IoT and SaaS startup focused on the supply chain segment, founded by Divay Kumar and Shreyans Sipani. Its software offerings — Supplytics and Original4Sure — were built on product serialization with built-in machine learning and IoT, helping FMCG and manufacturing brands such as ITC, Coca-Cola, Honeywell, AkzoNobel, Mondelez, and PepsiCo digitize and automate supply chains across manufacturing, warehouses, and retail networks, with real-time inventory visibility, brand protection, and retailer trade promotions. It raised $6 million in Series A funding from Think Investments and Venture Highway (after a $2.1 million pre-Series A), had a presence in over 15 countries, and tracked over 500 million unique products. No shutdown, bankruptcy, or acquisition has been publicly documented.
