We have embarked on a strategic mission to work towards 100% pure, chemical-free premium coffee through continuous research, better sourcing, responsible manufacturing and uncompromising quality standards. We believe India has the potential to create a globally admired premium coffee brand that reflects trust, purity and innovation while creating value for farmers, consumers and the nation.”

The company says it has already created employment opportunities for more than 1,000 people, with a strong emphasis on empowering women and young entrepreneurs. It also follows a transparent walk-in manufacturing model that reflects its commitment to openness, quality assurance and consumer confidence.

Brand Vision

Gun² Coffee’s long-term vision is to establish a globally respected Swadeshi premium coffee brand by pursuing its mission of developing 100% pure, chemical-free premium coffee through continuous research, responsible sourcing and modern manufacturing practices. Guided by the principles of Make in India and Vocal for Local, the company is strengthening direct partnerships with coffee growers, encouraging sustainable farming, investing in quality enhancement and building transparent manufacturing systems.

Gurugram Police detain 13 suspected Bangladeshi nationals for illegal stay, initiate deportation process

Gurugram Police detain 13 suspected Bangladeshi nationals for illegal stay, initiate deportation process

Gurugram (Haryana): Gurugram Police have detained 13 suspected Bangladeshi nationals allegedly residing in the city illegally and have initiated the process for their deportation, an official said.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime) Naveen Sharma said the Crime Branch had received information around a month ago that some Bangladeshi nationals were living illegally in India and working as labourers at various locations in Gurugram.

“Acting on this intelligence, the team detained 13 Bangladeshi nationals who were staying in the country illegally. Upon verifying their documents, it was confirmed that they had entered India unlawfully. Consequently, proceedings for their deportation were initiated,” Sharma said.

He said the 13 detainees are being taken to Malda Town in West Bengal under the escort of an inspector and a team of 23 police personnel, where they will be handed over to the security agencies for further deportation proceedings.

According to Sharma, the detained individuals had been living in different parts of Gurugram, working as labourers while staying in rented accommodations.

The ACP also appealed to the public to support law enforcement by reporting suspicious individuals.

“We appeal to all citizens to contribute to national security. If you come across individuals such as tenants, labourers, domestic workers, hotel staff, or construction workers whom you find suspicious, please report the information by calling 112 or contacting your nearest police station,” he said.

Co-Founder Eshita Kalidindi: Bringing Harvard Research on Child Development to Hyderabad Classrooms

Co-Founder Eshita Kalidindi: Bringing Harvard Research on Child Development to Hyderabad Classrooms

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], July 20: Co-founder Eshita Kalidindi is bringing the developmental science she studied at Harvard University and NYU directly into the classrooms of Sagebrook International School, the new IB PYP candidate school opening this July in Hyderabad’s Financial District. Eshita holds a Master’s in Human Development and Education from Harvard University and a B.A. in Psychology (summa cum laude) from New York University. She has built every layer of Sagebrook around what science says young children actually need.

At NYU, Eshita worked as a research assistant in a Social Psychology lab focused on child and adolescent mental health. Her academic work has since centred on early childhood development, learning science and the relational foundations of learning. At Sagebrook, that work moves from theory to practice.

“Research tells us clearly what young children need,” Eshita says. “Our work is to listen carefully and build a school that actually answers.”

The translation begins with Beginnings, Sagebrook’s parent-toddler programme for children aged 18 to 36 months. Drawing on neuroscience showing that over a million neural connections form every second in the first three years of life, the Beginnings programme prioritises warm, responsive exchanges over instruction. Parents stay on campus through the three-week transition to support secure attachment. Teachers weave songs, gestures and stories through the day. Similarly, the signature Block Building Programme, scaffolded across the early years, draws on decades of play-based learning research showing how open-ended construction develops spatial reasoning, mathematical thinking, language and executive function in young learners.

The same evidence base shapes Sagebrook’s Social Emotional Learning framework, which blends identity, empathy, social awareness and meaningful action into the daily life of the school rather than reserving them for weekly lessons.

“SEL is a core part of our curriculum at Sagebrook, not something we do in addition,” says Eshita.

Sagebrook’s biophilic campus, designed by internationally recognised school architect Prakash Nair, extends the same logic. Sunlit classrooms, natural materials, reflective nooks for self-regulation and a school-wide filtered air system are choices grounded in research on how the environment shapes children’s attention, mood and learning.

The school’s approach and partnership with Whitgift School in the United Kingdom further strengthen its global learning ecosystem. Sagebrook’s International Advisory Board includes Dr. Elizabeth City of Harvard University, Dr. Swati Popat Vats of the Early Childhood Association of India and counselling psychologist Dr. Varudhini Kankipati, ensuring evidence-based practice runs through every level of the school.

For families considering international schools in Hyderabad, Sagebrook offers something distinct: an early years education designed around what developmental science has been telling us for decades.

Sagebrook International School welcomes its first cohort from Beginnings through Grade 2 in July 2026. Admissions are open. Visit www.sagebrook.in.

Indian coach Deepali Rokade building USA Cricket’s Next Generation ahead of LA 2028

Indian coach Deepali Rokade building USA Cricket’s Next Generation ahead of LA 2028

Mumbai: As cricket enjoys unprecedented growth in the United States following the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and with the sport set to return to the Olympics at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, Indian coach Deepali Rokade is quietly playing a key role in developing the next generation of American cricketers.

Currently the Head Coach at KCR Academy in the United States, Rokade has established herself as one of the leading grassroots coaches in the country’s rapidly expanding cricket ecosystem, combining technical excellence with a holistic player-development philosophy.

In just 18 months at KCR Academy, Rokade has overseen remarkable success. Under her guidance, the academy’s Under-14 team were runners up at Florida in Pink ball Cricket tournament and Under-11 side finished runners-up in the prestigious USA Pathway NAYCA Games. She also served as one of the selectors for the USA Under-15 Pathway programme, underlining the trust placed in her cricketing knowledge and eye for talent and the U15 Team ended up being the National Champions in 2025.

Beyond team success, Rokade has built an impressive record of nurturing individual talent. Among the players she has coached are USA national team cricketer Aparna Gurumurthy, Disha Dhingra, promising Mumbai youngster Swara Jadhav, who has enjoyed a breakthrough season in age-group cricket, along with Ishaan Unnithan, Lassya Bandaru, Amil Shah and Koundinya, Reyansh D all of whom have progressed through her coaching programmes.

Known for her modern coaching methods, Rokade has introduced specialised programmes covering batting, bowling, fielding, match awareness and physical conditioning. She also launched the innovative ‘Brain Boost’ initiative, aimed at supporting the mental well-being of young cricketers and their families, an aspect increasingly recognised as critical in elite sport.

“Coach Deepali has demonstrated exceptional technical knowledge, tactical understanding and outstanding leadership. She has an incredible ability to develop individual players while creating cohesive, high-performing teams. Equally important is the positive environment she has built, where player welfare and character development remain central to the programme,” said a senior official at KCR Academy.

Speaking about her coaching journey, Deepali Rokade said:“The United States is one of the most exciting places for cricket right now. My goal has never been just to win matches, but to build confident cricketers who understand the game, enjoy the process and develop into good people. If our players can dream of representing the USA one day, then we’ve done our job as coaches. Every trophy is a bonus, but player development will always remain the priority.”

Rokade’s own cricketing journey began in Chatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, (earlier known as Aurangabad), where she was selected during the 1996-97 Women’s World Cup camp, She was then chosen to play in the squad for the prestigious Diana Edulji Benefit Match at the Brabourne Stadium around the World Cup, an early recognition of her playing credentials.

As American cricket continues to invest in its grassroots structure ahead of the Los Angeles Olympics, coaches with proven developmental expertise are becoming increasingly valuable.

Through championship-winning teams, pathway selections and a growing list of successful protégés, Deepali Rokade is emerging as one of the Indian coaches helping shape the future of cricket in the United States.

For Rokade, however, the mission extends beyond producing victories. It is about creating a sustainable pathway for young cricketers to dream bigger, compete harder and eventually represent the United States on the world stage.

Windlust Introduces a More Considered Expression of Luxury Footwear for Indian Women

Windlust Introduces a More Considered Expression of Luxury Footwear for Indian Women

The New Delhi-based women’s footwear brand brings together handcrafted detailing, advanced cushioning and distinctive design across heels, flats, platforms and occasion footwear.

NEW DELHI, INDIA – Luxury footwear is often judged at first glance. Its true measure, however, is revealed hours later – in the quality of its construction, the confidence of every step and whether the wearer still wants to keep it on.

That idea sits at the heart of Windlust, an Indian women’s footwear brand created for customers who want statement design without accepting discomfort as part of the experience.

From sculpted heels and embellished flats to contemporary mules, platforms and wedges, Windlust approaches footwear as both an expression of personal style and an object that must perform in real life. The result is a collection that feels polished and occasion-ready while remaining grounded in practical wearability.

Rather than using luxury only as a description of appearance, the brand places equal emphasis on the details a customer feels but may not immediately see: underfoot cushioning, secure construction, balanced silhouettes, hand-finished surfaces and attentive after-sales support.

“Luxury should not exist only in a photograph. It should reveal itself in the way a pair is made, the way it feels after several hours and the confidence of knowing that the brand remains accessible after the purchase.”

– Rishab Bahl, Founder, Windlust

Each Windlust pair is handcrafted, with collections moving from restrained everyday designs to fully embellished occasion footwear. The visual language is deliberately varied but recognisable: refined shapes, luminous finishes, crystal and pearl accents, contemporary proportions and details intended to feel distinctive rather than mass-produced.

Luxury, reconsidered from the inside out

Comfort is treated as part of the design process rather than a feature added at the end. Windlust’s multi-layer DenseFoam cushioning combines three layers of high-density cushioning to create a softer and more supportive underfoot experience. Selected heels also use the brand’s Xtra-Secure bolted heel construction, with impact-resistant components sourced from the United Kingdom to improve stability and durability.

The footwear is made through a handcrafted process that combines contemporary product development with Indian artisanal handwork. Embellishments are applied by hand on selected designs, while minimal styles rely on proportion, surface and finishing instead of ornament alone. Sizes run from EUR 36 to EUR 42, with selected customisation available.

The three editions allow customers to move between understated sophistication, signature Windlust comfort and more expressive occasion pieces without leaving the brand’s central design philosophy. The broader collection includes flats, heels, platforms, wedges, mules, formal footwear and embellished designs.

Trust as part of the luxury experience

For a direct-to-consumer brand, a beautifully made product is only one part of earning confidence. Windlust has designed its online experience around the concerns that often prevent customers from trying an unfamiliar footwear label: sizing uncertainty, delivery visibility and access to a real person when assistance is needed.

  • Free shipping across India and cash on delivery
  • Free size or design exchanges, including reverse pickup
  • A 14-day return window, with store credit issued under the published policy
  • Order tracking through WhatsApp and email
  • Direct WhatsApp assistance for sizing and exchanges
  • Publicly listed New Delhi business and customer-support details

“A new brand cannot ask for trust without making itself accountable,” added Bahl. “Clear policies, responsive assistance and a simple exchange experience matter just as much as presentation. Our aim is to make the first Windlust purchase feel considered from discovery to delivery.”

Windlust is inviting Indian customers to experience a more considered idea of modern luxury – one that is visible in the design, felt in the construction and supported long after checkout.

Kunal Sancheti, Comprint, on the New CFO Math: “Hybrid Was Strategy. The Memory Market Just Made It Arithmetic.”

Kunal Sancheti, Comprint, on the New CFO Math: “Hybrid Was Strategy. The Memory Market Just Made It Arithmetic.”

By Kunal Sancheti, Director, Comprint Tech Solutions Ask anyone who has priced a server in the last six months. Quotes that used to hold for thirty days are now valid for a week, sometimes forty-eight hours. Configurations get re-quoted between the proposal and the purchase order. This is not normal market noise. Something structural has changed.

The “something” is a memory. DRAM contract prices rose 90 to 95 per cent in the first quarter of this year, the steepest quarterly increase TrendForce has ever recorded, and another 58 to 63 per cent in the second. NAND flash is now accelerating past it. Dell’s chief operating officer has pointed out that DRAM which cost around 43 US cents a gigabit in mid-2025, recently crossed $2.39. Memory is now roughly a third of the bill of materials on a new machine; a year ago it was a fifth. Every OEM has re-priced. Some have re-priced twice.

It is worth being precise about why, because it changes what a sensible buyer does next. This is not a pandemic-style shock that corrects when factories reopen. High-bandwidth memory for AI accelerators consumes roughly three wafers of capacity for every one of conventional DDR5, and the hyperscalers building AI data centres have placed open-ended orders at whatever price the market asks. SK Hynix declared its 2026 output essentially sold out before 2026 had even begun. What remains is what the rest of us bid for. Analysts have started calling the premium the AI tax, and the name is fair. Every enterprise in India buying a server, a workstation or a laptop today is part-funding someone else’s AI build-out. And new fabrication capacity does not arrive in volume before late 2027, so this is the market for at least the next eighteen months.

Here is the uncomfortable part for the “just move it to the cloud” reflex: the cloud is made of the same memory. The hyperscalers are the buyers driving the shortage, and memory is swallowing an unprecedented share of their own data-centre spend. Their costs are rising too. Whether and when they pass those costs through is the only open question. The cloud remains brilliant at what it was built for, which is elasticity. Spiky demand, experiments, capacity needed by tomorrow morning. Nothing else comes close. But a great deal of enterprise computing is not spiky. It is steady, predictable, and runs around the clock, and paying an elasticity premium for steady work made weak sense before the AI tax. It makes less sense now.

Which is why I keep returning to hybrid. Not hybrid as a compromise between two camps, or a transition phase on the way to something purer. Hybrid as a permanent architecture, decided workload by workload. The mature enterprise of the next decade will not have a cloud strategy or an on-premises strategy. It will have a workload strategy.

But there is a second axis to hybrid that receives far less attention, and in this market, I would argue it matters more. Call it hybrid ownership. The question is no longer just “cloud or on premises?” It is “for this workload, should we buy new, rent, refurbish, or extend what we already have?”

Run that question through today’s prices. A five-year-old server you already own has its memory bought at 2021 rates; keeping it alive with the right spares and support for two more years is, in effect, arbitrage against the shortage. A certified refurbished machine carries yesterday’s component costs into today’s budget. Renting converts a capital shock into a predictable monthly line and hands the residual-value risk to someone else. None of these were exotic decisions before. At current DRAM prices, they are simply what a disciplined CFO would ask for.

I should declare the obvious interest here. Comprint has spent more than three decades across exactly these businesses, procurement through rentals, maintenance, refurbishment and recycling, so of course I would say this. But the arithmetic does not care who states it. Total cost of ownership, measured across the whole life of an asset, purchase price, maintenance, downtime risk, financing, upgrade cycles and eventual retirement, is becoming the real unit of infrastructure decision-making. The sharper organisations we work with no longer begin with “what should we buy?” They begin with “what does this workload need, and what will it cost over its whole life?”

Regulation is adding its own weight. India’s data protection rules were notified last November and the substantive obligations land in May 2027. The law does not force blanket localisation, but the categories of data that significant fiduciaries must keep onshore are still to be notified, and sectoral regulators, the RBI most prominently, already require it for payment data. Enterprises are therefore designing 2027 architectures under 2026 uncertainty. Uncertainty argues for control: knowing exactly where your data lives, on infrastructure you can point to.

So I expect three shifts to define the next few years. Workload-level economics will become standard discipline; IT budgets will be interrogated line by line, not approved as a single number. Refresh-by-default will fade; lifecycle extension, certified refurbishment and structured asset retirement will become normal boardroom answers rather than exceptions that need defending. And compliance will move from afterthought to architecture; where data lives will be decided as much by regulation as by engineering.

For India’s mid-market, the thousands of companies that never make technology headlines but run the country’s everyday economy, none of this is a strategy-deck concept. It is survival math: which workloads justify cloud spend at today’s rates, which servers justify replacement at today’s prices, and which can serve reliably for two more years with proper support behind them.

After more than three decades in this business, one lesson has held through every cycle: infrastructure decisions age well when they are made on economics and accountability, not fashion. The memory market has just made that lesson expensive to ignore.

Kunal Sancheti is a Director at Comprint Tech Solutions, a Mumbai-headquartered enterprise IT company that has managed the complete technology lifecycle for more than three decades: procurement, rentals, maintenance, refurbishment and certified recycling. Views are personal.

Arham Oil Launches Robo Verse: An End-to-End Robotic Ecosystem for Refinery MNI

Arham Oil Launches Robo Verse: An End-to-End Robotic Ecosystem for Refinery MNI

AHMEDABAD, India, July 17, 2026 — Arham Oil today announced the launch of Robo Verse, an end-to-end robotic ecosystem that brings together eight specialized refinery maintenance services into a single integrated platform. Combining robotic tank cleaning, oily sludge recovery, robotic inspection, robotic blasting, robotic painting, mechanized cleaning, and maintenance activities, Robo Verse is designed to eliminate hazardous manual entry, optimize refinery shutdowns, and maximize hydrocarbon recovery.

Previously offered as independent services, these capabilities are now unified under one intelligent ecosystem that streamlines refinery maintenance from initial inspection through cleaning, surface preparation, protective coating, and final hydrocarbon recovery.

Addressing Modern Refinery Challenges

Modern refineries face increasing operational challenges, including aging infrastructure, growing sludge accumulation, compressed turnaround schedules, and stricter environmental and safety regulations. Conventional maintenance often requires personnel to enter confined spaces such as crude oil storage tanks, pits, and reservoirs where exposure to toxic gases, flammable vapors, and oxygen-deficient environments creates significant risks.

Robo Verse addresses these challenges by replacing manual confined-space operations with advanced robotic technologies that perform cleaning, inspection, blasting, painting, and sludge recovery without human entry. By integrating every stage of refinery maintenance into a unified workflow, the platform minimizes downtime, improves operational efficiency, and enhances worker safety.

Services Included in Robo Verse

Robo Verse combines eight specialized refinery maintenance solutions into one seamless operational ecosystem.

1. Robotic Tank Cleaning

Zero-entry robotic systems safely remove sludge, sediments, and hydrocarbon residues from crude oil storage tanks while minimizing downtime and eliminating manual tank entry.

2. Oily Sludge Reprocessing & Recovery

Advanced processing technologies recover valuable hydrocarbons from oily sludge, slop, and refinery tar, transforming waste into reusable resources while reducing disposal costs.

3. Mechanized Tank Cleaning

High-pressure mechanized cleaning systems provide efficient desludging solutions for storage tanks using specialized nozzles and automated equipment.

4. Robotic Cleaning of Ponds, Pits, Sumps, Reservoirs & Cooling Towers

Extends robotic cleaning beyond storage tanks to refinery ponds, pits, reservoirs, cooling towers, and sumps, ensuring comprehensive zero-entry maintenance across refinery assets.

5. Robotic Blasting

Automated blasting systems remove corrosion, scale, rust, and deteriorated coatings from industrial assets without exposing personnel to hazardous environments.

6. Robotic Painting

Precision robotic painting systems apply consistent protective coatings to tanks, pipelines, and structural steel, improving coating quality while reducing safety risks.

7. Robotic Inspection

Advanced robotic inspection technologies perform ultrasonic thickness measurements, corrosion mapping, and structural assessments to identify issues before they become critical failures.

8. Tank Maintenance Activities

At Arham Oil Roboverse, we provide comprehensive storage tank maintenance services include hot work, welding and fabrication, patch plate repairs, shell and roof repairs, wind girder repairs/replacement, rim seal replacement, fire line replacement, nozzle and manway maintenance, piping modifications, leak rectification, structural repairs, and other associated mechanical maintenance activities, delivering complete end-to-end maintenance solutions for the oil & gas industry. 

Executive Statement

“With Robo Verse, refinery maintenance evolves from isolated service activities into one connected ecosystem that inspects, cleans, protects, and recovers value while significantly reducing human exposure to hazardous environments,” said Mr. Vipin Kesarwani, CEO of Arham Oil.

“This launch represents years of engineering innovation and our commitment to delivering safer, smarter, and more sustainable maintenance solutions for refineries across India and the Middle East. We believe Robo Verse establishes a new benchmark for the future of refinery maintenance.”

Improving Safety, Sustainability, and Operational Efficiency

Beyond improving operational performance, Robo Verse supports refinery sustainability initiatives by recovering usable hydrocarbons that would otherwise become waste. This reduces disposal costs, minimizes environmental impact, and contributes to circular resource utilization.

The platform also enhances compliance through digital inspection records, traceable maintenance workflows, and detailed reporting that supports regulatory audits and ESG objectives.

By integrating inspection, cleaning, surface preparation, coating, and sludge recovery into one coordinated workflow, refineries benefit from shorter turnaround times, reduced contractor coordination, and more predictable maintenance schedules.

Deployment Flexibility

Robo Verse is now available across India, Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Refineries can deploy:

  • Individual robotic services based on specific maintenance requirements.
  • Multiple services for targeted shutdown projects.
  • The complete Robo Verse ecosystem is a fully integrated refinery maintenance solution.

This flexible deployment model enables facilities to adopt automation progressively while maximizing long-term operational value.

Launch of GoVISIBLE Commerce: AI Visibility Intelligence Platform for eCommerce Brands

Launch of GoVISIBLE Commerce: AI Visibility Intelligence Platform for eCommerce Brands

Brands can now track, measure, and optimise how their products appear in AI-generated responses across ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity at retailer level, SKU level, and against every competitor in their category.

PUNE, INDIA — GoVISIBLE, an AI visibility intelligence platform built for generative engine optimisation, today announced the launch of GoVISIBLE Commerce – a platform designed to give consumer brands and eCommerce teams real-time intelligence on how they appear on the AI shopping results.

As conversational AI engines replace traditional search results with single, synthesized recommendations, brands face a new reality: purchase decisions are being shaped before a buyer ever visits a retailer website. Insights from more than 2,300 AI visibility audits on GoVISIBLE across brands of different sizes have confirmed the growing urgency for platforms that connect AI search intelligence with measurable business outcomes and structured execution.

GoVISIBLE Commerce addresses this directly, moving brands from passive monitoring into active, data-driven optimisation of their presence across shopping feeds of AI engines.

What GoVISIBLE Commerce Measures

The platform tracks three foundational metrics that define a brand’s position on the AI shelf:

AI Shelf Score: Measures how often a brand’s product catalogue appears within broad discovery-driven shopping queries across AI engines using a weighted average method to basis the market share of AI engines in respective countries.

Share of Shelf: Tracks catalogue presence against direct competitors over a rolling trend line, revealing which brands are winning the AI-generated shortlist during product comparison queries.

DTC Share: Reveals whether AI engine recommendations route high-intent buyers to a brand’s own storefront or redirect them to third-party marketplaces, a metric that has direct implications for margin and customer ownership.

From Intelligence to Action

GoVISIBLE Commerce is built to close the gap between visibility data and execution. Two modules turn insights into direct commercial action:

Shelf Health & Retailer Intelligence: Channel-level and SKU-level breakdowns that show exactly where competitors are outperforming a brand inside AI responses, broken down by product line, retailer, and query type.

Action Center: Converts visibility gaps into clear, prioritised actions for growth and eCommerce teams, including AI Feed Optimiser recommendations that translate directly into optimised product feeds for Google Shopping and Meta Catalogue, Citation Recommendations, Content recommendations.

“Inside an AI engine, there is no page two. The model synthesises a singular recommended choice for an active buyer. If you aren’t that recommendation, you are effectively erased from the consumer’s universe.”

— Gajanan Sapate, Co-Founder, GoVISIBLE

Competitive Intelligence Built Into the Core

One of the most distinctive capabilities of GoVISIBLE Commerce is the depth of competitive visibility intelligence it surfaces. Brands can see not just their own AI shelf position — but precisely which competing products are being recommended alongside theirs, at what price points AI engines are citing competitors, and the specific content signals driving those preferences.

This goes beyond share-of-voice tracking. GoVISIBLE Commerce identifies why a competitor is gaining AI shelf space, whether it’s catalogue completeness, attribute coverage, retailer citation strength, or content structure, and gives teams a direct path to close that gap.

“The question brands keep asking us isn’t just ‘are we visible?’ — it’s ‘who is being recommended instead of us, and why?’ GoVISIBLE Commerce answers that. You can see which competitor products are surfaced alongside yours, what prices AI engines are attributing to them, and the specific signals that are giving them the ranking edge. That intelligence changes how teams think about catalogue strategy entirely.”

— Pritesh Javheri, Co-Founder, GoVISIBLE

Early Access Programme

To mark the launch, GoVISIBLE has introduced an early-access cohort for brands onboarding this quarter. Cohort participants receive launch pricing and priority account configuration, designed to help brands establish their AI shelf baseline and execute catalogue optimisations ahead of the seasonal peak.

Requests for early access can be submitted at www.govisible.ai
