Fabien Pinckaers, Founder and CEO of Odoo, turned an open-source idea into a global business operating system used by over 12 million users. His goal remains simple: give growing companies enterprise-grade tools without enterprise-grade baggage.

In India, that goal is being powered by Mantavya Gajjar, Managing Director of Odoo India. From onboarding early users to enabling 70+ certified partners across the country, Mantavya has helped bring Odoo into the heart of Indian business across factory floors, retail chains, service providers, and scaling startups.

And this August, that transformation takes the spotlight at Odoo Community Days 2025, held at Mahatma Mandir Convention Centre, Gandhinagar, from 13–14 August. It's more than just a tech event. It's where software meets strategy, culture, and content.

What India's Smartest Creators Know: Software Is Now Cultural

This year's event goes beyond ERP systems. It's about how businesses grow when operations, content, and decisions are fully aligned. For the first time, a creator economy lens will shape the conversations around tech and scalability.

They're joining because they recognise what growing Indian businesses truly need: clarity, ease, and systems that grow with them.

You'll see them on the floor, leading sessions that connect their expertise with real-world operational challenges.

A Platform Built for Real Business Problems

Startups are raising funds. MSMEs are expanding. But their systems? Often disconnected.

  • CRMs don't sync with support tools
  • Inventory is still on Excel
  • HR approvals sit in WhatsApp
  • Finance runs on late-night calls

Odoo fixes that.

With one fully integrated platform, CRM, Accounting, Inventory, HR, Sales, Manufacturing, Odoo gives Indian businesses a single login to run operations with control, visibility, and structure.

What Indian Companies Are Already Doing with Odoo:

  • Automating GST and invoice cycles
  • Replacing spreadsheets with real-time dashboards
  • Managing inventory across cities and warehouses
  • Expanding to new branches without adding chaos
  • Moving from email chains to logic-based approvals

Why It Matters Now

India doesn't have a growth problem. It has an operations problem.

Every manual mistake, missed payment, and untracked sale hurts. Founders don't want to "grow into ERP" anymore; they want to start with it. But only if it's flexible, affordable, and easy to adopt.

Odoo is making that possible.

And Odoo Community Days India 2025 is where you'll see how.
