PDS Limited, the global fashion infrastructure platform, announced that it has entered a Sourcing as a Service (SaaS) contract with a leading US based value retailer.
Under this engagement, PDS will provide support through its end-to-end sourcing capabilities, leveraging its global network across vendor management, compliance, and supply chain execution. The customer, a leading value retail chain in the United States with a strong presence across urban and rural markets, offers a wide assortment of everyday essentials including consumables, apparel, home products, and seasonal merchandise at value price points, serving a broad customer base. The contract is expected to drive sourcing volumes of approximately ₹450crs (~$50mn), with potential to scale up gradually.
The engagement will be executed through PDS subsidiary, GSCL under the leadership of Michael Yee, who will play a key role in driving execution. Having been onboarded onto the PDS platform over the past year, Michael Yee, through GSCL, is leading PDS' efforts to scale its US business, with a focus on deepening customer engagement and strengthening PDS' strategic inroads into the US market. The onboarding of this contract represents a meaningful step in that direction, aligned with the Group's strategy of strengthening its presence in key markets through on-ground leadership and execution capabilities.
Pallak Seth, Executive Vice Chairman, said: "In an environment marked by macroeconomic uncertainty and evolving consumer demand, securing this partnership reflects the resilience of the PDS platform and the strength of our global ecosystem. Our widespread sourcing network, deep relationships, and ability to deliver agile solutions continue to position us as a partner of choice for leading global retailers."
Sanjay Jain, Group CEO, added: "Our continued investments in cost transformation, digital capabilities, and AI-led initiatives have strengthened our sourcing platform and enhanced our value proposition. This partnership is a testament to the robustness of our operating model and our ability to deliver scalable, efficient, and innovative solutions. We remain confident in executing this engagement successfully while continuing to build a strong, future-ready sourcing platform."
