On 15 April, a delegation from the GJEPC Northern Regional Office met with senior officials of Delhi Customs to further refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the import and export of jewellery via personal carriage. This discussion followed an initial meeting held on 9 April and focused on the implementation of Circular No. 09/25 – Customs, dated 28 April 2025, with the goal of issuing a comprehensive public notice for the trade.

Key customs officials present included Mr. Dheeraj Rastogi, IRS, Principal Commissioner – Exports; Ms. Ashima Bansal, IRS, Commissioner – ACC Export; Mr. Vishal Pal Singh, IRS, Commissioner – Airport; Mr. Dibyalok Singh, IRS, Deputy Commissioner – ACC Shed; and Mr. Anuj Kumar Pandey, IRS, Additional Deputy Commissioner – Airport. Representing the GJEPC were Mr. Antarpal Singh Sawhney, Regional Chairman – North, and Mr. Anil Sankhwal, Convener, Studded Jewellery Panel.

The meeting primarily addressed ways to optimise the draft SOPs for hand-carried jewellery exports through the Precious Cargo Warehouse (PCW) operated by Celebi at Delhi Airport. GJEPC representatives proposed practical solutions to remove procedural bottlenecks and speed up customs clearance. Among their key requests was the establishment of a dedicated detention room for appraised parcels within the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) cargo shed to reduce delays and improve exporter convenience.

Customs officials, led by Mr. Rastogi, responded positively to the recommendations and assured the delegation of due consideration. They also advised GJEPC to initiate discussions with CWC for space allocation to implement the suggested changes effectively.

Zithara.AI, an AI-native customer engagement platform for offline retailers, announced a strategic partnership with Palmonas to enhance customer engagement through data-driven solutions across the brand’s retail operations.

As part of the partnership, Palmonas will implement Zithara.AI’s AI-native CRM platform to unify customer data across multiple touchpoints, enabling a single, consolidated view of customer interactions. The platform will support intelligent customer segmentation, automated engagement workflows, and personalised communication designed to improve customer retention and increase repeat purchases. The deployment is aimed at creating a more structured and consistent approach to customer engagement as the brand continues to scale.

The integration will allow Palmonas to capture and analyse customer data across online and offline touchpoints, enabling targeted campaigns, timely follow-ups, and more relevant communication across the customer lifecycle. By helping bridge the gap between digital customer enquiries and physical store visits, the platform will support improved customer conversions, strengthen retention, and enable more effective customer journeys that contribute to revenue growth.

Speaking about the partnership, Hitesh Magoo, CMO, Demifine Fashion Pvt. Ltd., said,

“At Palmonas, our focus has always been on creating meaningful customer experiences while expanding our retail presence.

We were looking for a platform that could intelligently manage customer engagement across multiple stores while helping us improve walk-in conversions and long-term customer retention. Zithara.AI’s AI-native platform aligns with these objectives by enabling more personalised customer interactions that support stronger conversions, increased store walk-ins, and sustainable revenue growth. We look forward to leveraging its capabilities to build deeper customer relationships as we continue to scale our retail footprint.”

Varun Kashyap, Co-Founder, Zithara.AI, said,

“We are pleased to partner with Palmonas as they continue to expand their retail presence.

The partnership marks a continued focus by Zithara.AI and Palmonas on leveraging AI-native capabilities to strengthen customer engagement and support revenue growth in offline retail environments.
