This new CRO role brings dedicated leadership focus to accelerating infrastructure revenue across new joint venture markets, building on the Company's first joint ventures in Saudi Arabia and Türkiye. Sharma's mandate is to scale deployment of the Company's RAID (Realtime AI for Distribution) engine through its capital-light JV model, targeting high-growth FMCG corridors without proportionate increases in capital deployed. His immediate focus will be developing a pipeline of JV opportunities across Southeast Asia and West Africa — markets where RedCloud's RAID technology has identified significant unmet demand in FMCG distribution.
This appointment follows recent milestones across RedCloud's RAID technology and growth. In March 2026, RAID outperformed industry benchmarks for accuracy across 3.7 million live FMCG transactions in an R&D validation. In April 2026, the Company entered the deployment phase of RAID with a leading distribution network in Türkiye and signed a five-year licensing agreement of up to 30milliontodeployRedAIandRAIDacrossSaudiArabia′s68 billion FMCG market. The Company also announced the planned introduction of three specialist RedAI agents, each intended to partially automate high-frequency FMCG supply chain decisions, with rollout expected in H2 2026.
Justin Floyd, CEO of RedCloud, said, “RAID has now been validated in live market conditions across millions of transactions, and we are moving fast to deploy it at scale. Bringing Vikram on board gives us dedicated commercial leadership focused entirely on expanding our JV model into new markets — the engine is ready, and Vikram has the regional expertise and relationships to accelerate that expansion. The opportunity across high-growth FMCG markets is substantial, and we intend to move with urgency.”
Vikram Sharma added, “The RAID engine solves a problem that has held back FMCG distribution in high-growth markets for decades — decisions made without data, at scale, every day. My immediate focus is building a pipeline of new joint venture opportunities across high-growth regions, including Southeast Asia and West Africa, where the demand signal is clear and the infrastructure gap is significant. RedCloud's capital-light model means we can move quickly and I intend to do exactly that.”
The Company's JV model is structured to generate both a license fee and recurring, transaction-linked revenue with minimal upfront capital, with the objective that revenue scales significantly faster than costs. As RedCloud converts innovative technology into predictable Annual Recurring Revenue streams, JV expansion is expected to become a primary growth driver through 2026 and beyond.
RedCloud's mission is to build the intelligence infrastructure of global trade, through generation and aggregation of proprietary trading and market data from across the FMCG industry through its RedAI infrastructure and associated products (“RedAI”). RedCloud provides market intelligence based on proprietary trading data across categories in each of its markets. The Company also delivers a ‘trading layer’ of products for use by its customers, to enable intelligent digital exchange of everyday consumer supplies of FMCG products across business supply chains, supported by a payments and lending ecosystem intended to streamline trade. RedCloud believes its Platform and associated products and services solve a decades-old problem of how to digitize trade at scale to generate data and intelligence to enable brands, distributors and retailers to maximize business performance across categories in high growth consumer markets.
