Intellect Design Arena Ltd announced its inclusion in Forrester's June 1, 2026 report titled "The 2026 NRF APAC Innovators: Retail-Focused Tech Companies To Watch". The company believes this recognition showcases its prowess in the retail domain through its eMACH.ai Retail 6DX solution.
The 2026 National Retail Federation (NRF) APAC Innovators Showcase features 23 companies globally applying new technology tools to transform how brands sell and consumers shop. The showcase was curated by the NRF Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC), comprising representatives from venture capital, incubators, retail innovation groups, and research firms like Forrester. Finalists were selected based on four criteria: problem relevance, problem significance, product-market fit, and scalability.
Intellect's eMACH.ai Retail 6DX solution is designed to address structural and operational challenges specific to developing retail environments. According to Forrester's data referenced in the document, 74% of online adults in metropolitan India find new products or brands via recommendations from the retailer or marketplace, and 68% are less likely to visit a physical store if its in-store inventory is not available online.
The platform unifies store operations, transactions, customer data, and inventory by effectively linking disparate systems together for business users. It offers operational advantages across core retail teams including finance, management, and merchandising. The company's expanding retail market presence includes partnerships with major clients such as Choppies, HomeTown, Kalyan Hypermarket, and Schecrets.
Debanjan Kumar, CEO of Intellect Digital Technology for Commerce (iDTC), commented: "Retailers in developing regions often navigate fragmented operating environments where seamlessly linking digital engagement with physical store infrastructure remains an intricate hurdle. Our eMACH.ai Retail 6DX platform is built precisely to solve this by unifying operations, inventory, and transactions under a synchronized architecture."
The disclosure was filed with the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd and BSE Ltd under scrip symbol INTELLECT and code 538835 respectively. The communication was signed by Prakash Bharadwaj, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer (ACS-37214) of Intellect Design Arena Limited.
