Pathfinder (doing business as Rappo Phygital Commerce) is a Chennai-headquartered retail technology company that has operated since 2000, building an integrated enterprise platform for shopping centers, airports, and retail brands across India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, and Singapore. The platform comprises four core products: POSPatrol, which performs real-time POS integration and revenue assurance for shopping centers and airports; ProLeaz, an AI-driven lease and property management system for end-to-end contract and portfolio administration; RAPPO, a customer engagement platform launched in 2019 and piloted as a phygital commerce solution in 2021; and RetailGPT, a generative AI platform launched in 2025 for AI-powered customer insights and personalized retail experiences bridging digital and physical channels. The company monetizes through SaaS subscription licensing sold via a direct enterprise sales motion, with regional offices in Dubai (Middle East HQ, 2016), Riyadh (2020), Colombo (2020), and Singapore (2023).

The business reports 150+ shopping centers, 3,500+ brands, and $4.6B+ in GMV processed through the platform, supported by 200+ employees. The technology stack combines direct POS hardware integration (via long-standing partnerships with Zebra Technologies and Motorola established in 2004) with proprietary revenue-assurance and lease-automation engines, and the most recent RetailGPT release layers generative AI capabilities on top of the company's accumulated transactional data. Pathfinder operates without disclosed external venture funding and has signaled a planned Nasdaq public listing in 2026, indicating a transition from organic private growth to public-market scale ambitions.
