Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIME) announced that MTR Foods Pvt. Ltd., a leading Indian packaged‑foods manufacturer and a subsidiary of Norway’s Orkla Group, has joined its SemiCab AI‑enabled freight optimization platform. The partnership extends SemiCab’s presence in India, adding a high‑profile FMCG client to its growing roster of enterprise customers.
MTR Foods, headquartered in Bengaluru, operates a nationwide distribution network that serves millions of households. The company’s integration of SemiCab is expected to reduce empty miles, improve load matching, and increase transportation efficiency across its supply chain. MTR Foods was founded in 1924, acquired by Orkla in 2007, and reported $7.3 billion in sales for 2025, underscoring the scale of the opportunity for SemiCab’s AI platform.
The addition of MTR Foods is projected to help SemiCab reach a $15‑$20 million annualized revenue run‑rate over the next 12 months. SemiCab’s ARR was $9.7 million in December 2025, a 300 % jump from $2.5 million at the end of 2024, and the company expects to exceed $13 million after a $6 million expansion in December 2025. The new client is the fourth major customer onboarded in India this year, following contracts with Procter & Gamble, Kellogg’s, and Asian Paints.
Algorhythm’s overall financial health remains a concern. The company’s current ratio is 0.53, debt‑to‑equity stands at 68.11, and both return on equity and invested capital are negative. An Altman Z‑Score of –9.25 signals elevated bankruptcy risk. A $9.5 million capital infusion announced on February 23 2026 has helped shore up liquidity, but the balance sheet still reflects significant leverage and limited profitability.
SemiCab’s AI platform has demonstrated a 70 % reduction in empty miles in active customer networks, according to a recent whitepaper. The platform’s success is bolstered by India’s Gati Shakti National Master Plan and the National Digital Freight Exchange, which create a favorable regulatory environment for digital freight solutions. While no immediate market‑price reaction data is available for this announcement, investors have previously responded positively to SemiCab’s expansion in India, as seen after the Coca‑Cola India partnership announcement earlier in the month.
"We are thrilled to welcome MTR Foods to the SemiCab platform. Their products reach millions of homes across India, and their commitment to operational excellence makes them an ideal partner," said Gary Atkinson, CEO of Algorhythm Holdings. The partnership signals the company’s continued focus on high‑growth AI logistics solutions and its strategy to divest legacy businesses while scaling its SaaS offerings.
