Empower 2025 India was the kind of event that has you replaying the best conversations on the flight home. A room full of builders, modelers, and supply chain thinkers showed up with real questions, sharp ideas, and the drive to push decision intelligence forward. Day 1 was all about perspective and possibility. We dug into how data, algorithms, and compute are changing the game, traded stories on moving from legacy approaches to faster, better decisions, and shared where Lyric Studio is headed to make decision intelligence even more practical and powerful all at the same time. Day 2 brought the energy to the keyboard. The training sessions were hands-on and fast-moving, with teams building in Lyric Studio and picking up skills they can use right away to model, plan, and decide with more confidence. Thanks to everyone who joined, leaned in, and made the experience what it was. This community is building something exciting, and we are grateful to be on the ride with you 🚀 #EmpowerIndia #SupplyChainIntelligence #DecisionIntelligence #AIinSupplyChain #DigitalSupplyChain #LyricStudio

Last week, Jon Payne, our Head of Business Development & Partnerships, took the stage at Plug and Play’s Supply Chain and Advanced Manufacturing Expo. Lyric was one of four startups selected to present, and Jon shared how teams use our AI-native platform to cut through complexity and make faster, smarter decisions for their supply chains. It sparked some great conversations with leaders in the audience who are ready to make their supply chains math-first with Lyric - if you enjoyed the presentation and are interested in hearing more, please feel free to reach out to Jon directly! Big thanks to the Plug and Play Supply Chain & Logistics team for putting on such a great event! #SupplyChain #AI #DecisionIntelligence #SupplyChainInnovation #LyricTech

We’re heading to the Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit in Denver next week, and the industry’s mindset shift is clear.
