Data access framework covering 300,000 historical transactions enables RAID-powered AI agents to generate market-level consumer goods intelligence from day one of India deployment
London and Delhi, June 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedCloud Holdings plc (Nasdaq: RCT) (“RedCloud” or the “Company”), the company building intelligent infrastructure for global trade, today announced the execution of a Data Access & Usage Framework with a leading Indian distribution group operating across the apparel and footwear sector. The agreement provides RedCloud’s RedAI infrastructure with access to a structured dataset representing approximately
Agreement Highlights
- ~
$35.05 million in total transaction value across ~300,000 transactions, provided under a perpetual, irrevocable Data Access & Usage Framework. - Seven years of continuous trade history, enabling robust demand seasonality forecasting.
- SKU- and brand-level granularity across major global apparel and footwear labels active in the Indian market.
- RedCloud retains ownership of all derived data, models and analytical outputs generated through the agreement.
The dataset — granular to SKU and brand level across major global footwear and apparel names — is expected to enable early training of RedAI’s demand forecasting capabilities in new consumer goods categories, powered by the RAID engine for activation by RedAI’s specialist AI agents as they are launched. This data will be aggregated alongside data from participants across the supply chain as they operate across RedAI’s trading infrastructure.
RedCloud is already in active engagement with a number of FMCG companies through its India joint venture structure announced June 24, 2026, and expects the combination of this and other potential data agreements, alongside trade executed across its RedAI infrastructure, to create a compounding intelligence loop as deployment scales.
Justin Floyd, CEO and Co-Founder of RedCloud, said, “India is one of the most data-rich consumer markets in the world, yet structured, brand-level trade intelligence remains deeply fragmented. This agreement gives us a foundation to try to change that — not just for our own infrastructure, but for every brand, distributor and retailer operating in these categories across India. Brands can gain competitive advantage and decision intelligence without surrendering anything proprietary to get it. We believe that’s a fundamentally different proposition to anything available in this market today.”
Vikram Sharma, Chief Revenue Officer of RedCloud, added, “We are no longer speaking only about market potential in India. With the execution of this framework and real operational trade data flowing into RedAI’s data foundation, we have started to engage with major prospective customers in India. This is what the RAID engine needs to generate intelligence, demonstrate value and support commercial engagement with apparel and footwear brands, distributors and retailers — alongside traction in our core FMCG categories.”
