PDS 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 around Rs 450 crore (around $50 million), 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.
