    Arrive AI Forges International Partnership, Bringing Secure Delivery to India with Skye Air Mobility

    INDIANAPOLIS, IN AND GURUGRAM, INDIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI) – a pioneering autonomous delivery network anchored by Arrive Points™ – today announced a new global customer: Skye Air Mobility , India’s dominant and rapidly expanding hyperlocal delivery platform. This expected partnership marks a pivotal moment, scaling secure, automated delivery solutions across one of the world’s most dynamic markets.

    Skye Air currently offers 7-minute drone delivery to customers in Gurugram, part of NCR (National Capital Region) of Delhi and Bengaluru (Karnataka), making about 6,000 deliveries per day. The partnership entails co-developing mailboxes and installing across the country. Arrive AI shall begin from the initial 60 units being placed in Gurugram followed by other cities as per Skye Air’s expansion plan. Both companies expect to have 500 Arrive Points across Skye Air’s service areas in the future, serving a New Delhi population exceeding 33 million.

    “The population density and scalability opportunity – along with huge demand for drone delivery from Indian consumers and governmental policies that encourage drone delivery – creates an unparalleled chance for us to showcase the transformative power of Arrive AI,” said Arrive AI Founder and CEO Dan O’Toole. “This isn’t just about delivery; it’s about establishing a universally trusted custody layer for autonomous logistics and allows us to grow rapidly in a one-billion-plus population country that is already moving fast on autonomy.”

    Arrive AI’s industry-first patents underscore its evolution from a “smart mailbox” to a comprehensive autonomous delivery network and platform company. Arrive Points are secure, app-accessible mini cross docks, and offer a significantly elevated level of security compared to current delivery points, establishing a crucial trusted custody layer for real-world networks and asynchronous access.

    Ankit Kumar, Skye Air, Founder & CEO, highlighted the synergy by saying, “Skye Air is on the forefront of drone delivery technology having built to deliver at scale. The company is already delivering about 200,000 packages on a monthly basis, just in one city. We believe Infrastructure is the most critical piece to scale drone delivery across the country, this is the reason we keep on investing in developing infrastructure. With access of 60-plus residential and commercial complexes in Gurugram, we are poised to shape the future of autonomous deliveries in India.”

    “Our partnership with Arrive AI couldn’t have come at a time better than this, when we are scaling up operations and expanding to newer cities such as Bengaluru,” he continued. “Together with Arrive AI’s state-of-the-art product, we are certain to dominate the infrastructure access points. It will make the entire process so much better. We can’t wait to get these units in the field.”

    Kiran Paul, who focuses on international business development for Arrive AI, was instrumental in setting up the strategic partnership.

    “We anticipate that once we are operating in India and demonstrating the advantages Arrive Points offer, other countries looking to a future of increasing demand for quick, secure, drone-based ecommerce solutions will see the advantage of building Arrive Points into their smart city infrastructure plans, ” Paul said.

    Arrive AI expects Arrive Points to be delivered to Skye Air within calendar year 2025.

    Beyond technological alignment, both companies share a profound commitment to sustainable delivery. Each drone delivery via Skye Air reduces carbon emissions by 520 grams compared to traditional methods, translating to over 2.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide saved monthly. This partnership not only enhances drone capabilities for Skye Air’s current fleet of more than 30 drones but also lays crucial groundwork for seamless future integration with ground robotic deliveries.

    KCM Celebrates Overall 4-Star Morningstar Rating for Small Cap Value Fund

    ST. LOUIS, MO / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2025 / Kennedy Capital Management LLC (KCM), a specialist in micro, small, and mid-cap investment management services, is proud to announce that its small cap value fund (KVALX) has received an initial 4-Star1 overall Morningstar Rating™. This total return achievement is measured against 477 funds in Morningstar’s Small Cap Value Category as of May 31, 2025, and is calculated based on Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Returns. This recognition underscores Kennedy’s commitment to delivering strong, risk-adjusted returns over time.

    The 4-star rating for KVALX is particularly significant given the long-standing success of its underlying investment strategy, which has been a cornerstone of our firm since 1983. The fund benefits from the adept management of Frank Latuda, Jr., CFA®, who has guided the strategy for over two decades, and McAfee Burke, CFA®, who has brought valuable perspective and experience to the portfolio management team in recent years. While the strategy was made available in a mutual fund format in 2022, this Morningstar rating validates its enduring strength and success across both the institutional and retail worlds. Furthermore, as per the NADSAQ2 eVestment™ database, the Small Cap Value strategy ranks in the top quartile for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods ending March 31, 2025, highlighting its consistent outperformance over time.

    KVALX benefits from the experience of a dedicated centralized team of research analysts. This cohesive team employs a fundamental, bottom-up investment approach, meticulously investigating individual companies within their investable universe. Under the guidance of Mr. Latuda and Mr. Burke, the fund seeks to identify companies across the value spectrum with favorable cash flow values relative to their current market capitalization, aiming for a portfolio with valuations below and growth characteristics at or above those of the benchmark.

    “We established KVALX with investor demand in mind. The underlying strategy, professionally managed by Frank and McAfee, has long been available to institutional investors but has now been opened up to others,” says Don Cobin, CFA®, CEO of KCM. “Achieving a 4-star1 rating for our small cap value fund is a testament to the skill and dedication of our investment team and the consistent application of our disciplined research process. We are proud to offer investors a range of compelling options within the equity space.”

    Important Risk Information: Equity securities (stocks) are generally more volatile and carry more risk than fixed income securities (bonds) and money market investments. The net asset value per share of the Small Cap Value fund (the Fund) will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

The Fund is comprised primarily of equity securities and is subject to market risk. Stocks may decline due to general market and economic conditions or due to company specific circumstances. The Fund is comprised of small capitalization (“small cap”) stocks. Small cap stocks typically carry additional risk, since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure, and historically have experienced a greater degree of volatility. Small capitalization companies generally have a greater risk of failure, and their stocks generally have greater volatility than large companies. Mutual fund investing involves risk, including loss of principal.

    Risks specific to KVALX: Value investing is subject to the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s inherent value for a long time or at all.

    Index definitions and technical terms:

The Russell 2000® Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the small-cap value segment.

    The Morningstar RatingTM for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10- 3 year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. As of 5/31/25, KVALX was rated against 477 Small Value funds for the 3-year period. KVALX received 4 stars for this period. The Small Value category includes funds that typically invest in small US companies with valuations and growth rates below other small-cap peers. Stocks in the bottom 10% of the capitalization of the US equity market are defined as small cap. Value is defined based on low valuations (low price ratios and high dividend yields) and slow growth (low growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow).

  • Toronto’s Premier Legionella Testing: Ensuring Water Safety This Summer

    Toronto’s Premier Legionella Testing: Ensuring Water Safety This Summer

    Toronto, Ontario –

    Canadian Water Compliance, a leader in environmental testing and regulatory compliance, is urging Toronto property owners and managers to prioritize Legionella sampling, Legionella analysis, and lead analysis as the summer months bring heightened risks to water safety. With rising temperatures and increased water usage typical of the season, the conditions become ideal for the proliferation of Legionella bacteria and the mobilization of metals like lead in aging infrastructure. As a result, Canadian Water Compliance is reinforcing its commitment to providing leading testing in Toronto, ensuring that public health is protected during this critical period.

    Summer presents unique challenges for water systems across Toronto. Warm weather accelerates the growth of Legionella bacteria, especially in large buildings with complex plumbing, cooling towers, and water storage tanks. Stagnant water in underused pipes, combined with heat, creates a perfect environment for Legionella to multiply, increasing the risk of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks. These risks are particularly acute in facilities such as hotels, healthcare centers, schools, and condominiums, where fluctuating occupancy and seasonal maintenance can inadvertently compromise water quality. Regular Legionella sampling and Legionella analysis become even more essential during these months to detect and address contamination before it poses a threat to occupants.

    Legionella Sampling & Legionella Testing Toronto

    Kevin Mork, COO of Canadian Water Compliance, emphasized the importance of seasonal vigilance. “Summer is a time when water safety can’t be taken for granted,” said Mork. “The combination of higher temperatures and increased water usage means that Legionella testing in Toronto is more important than ever. Our team is dedicated to providing fast, accurate Legionella analysis and helping our clients implement proactive water management strategies that keep their facilities safe throughout the summer and beyond.”

    In addition to Legionella risks, the summer months can exacerbate issues related to lead contamination. Increased demand on water systems can disturb sediments in old pipes, causing lead and other metals to leach into the drinking water supply. Buildings constructed prior to 1990 are especially vulnerable, as aging pipes, solder, and fixtures may contain significant amounts of lead. Chronic exposure to lead, even at low levels, can have severe health consequences, particularly for children and pregnant women. Canadian Water Compliance’s lead analysis services are designed to identify these risks quickly, enabling property managers to take corrective action and ensure compliance with Ontario’s strict water quality standards.

    Canadian Water Compliance’s reputation as a provider of leading testing in Toronto is built on its use of advanced laboratory techniques, rapid turnaround times, and a client-focused approach. The company’s Legionella testing Toronto services utilize both culture-based and molecular methods to deliver precise results, while its lead analysis protocols are tailored to detect even trace amounts of hazardous metals. This comprehensive approach allows clients to address potential problems before they escalate, reducing liability and safeguarding health.

    As the city’s infrastructure continues to age and climate patterns shift, the need for regular Legionella sampling, Legionella analysis, and lead analysis will only grow. Canadian Water Compliance is committed to staying ahead of these challenges, investing in the latest technology and ongoing staff training to ensure the highest standards of service. The company’s experts work closely with clients to interpret test results, recommend remediation strategies, and develop customized water management plans that address the unique risks of the summer season.

    Kevin Mork reiterated the company’s dedication to public safety, stating, “The summer months bring both opportunities and challenges for building owners and managers. By prioritizing Legionella testing Toronto and lead analysis now, our clients can enjoy peace of mind knowing they are taking the necessary steps to protect their residents, guests, and staff. Canadian Water Compliance is here to support Toronto’s community with leading testing solutions that make a real difference.”

    For those seeking to ensure their properties are safe and compliant during the summer, Canadian Water Compliance offers expert guidance, reliable testing, and actionable insights. With a proactive approach to Legionella sampling, Legionella analysis, and lead analysis, the company continues to set the standard for water safety in Toronto, helping clients navigate the unique demands of the season while maintaining the highest level of public health protection.

  • Basatne MENA and Likewize Launch Region’s First Subscription-Based Handset Program: “Upgrade & Protect”

    Basatne MENA and Likewize Launch Region’s First Subscription-Based Handset Program: “Upgrade & Protect”

    Designed to combine sustainability, flexibility, and seamless user experience.

    DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2025 / In a landmark partnership set to reshape the region’s telecom landscape, Basatne MENA, the regional arm of global circular economy leader Basatne, has partnered with Likewize, the global leader in device lifecycle services, to launch ‘Upgrade & Protect’, the Middle East’s first subscription-based smartphone program designed to combine sustainability, flexibility, and seamless user experience.

    With smartphone users in the GCC replacing devices every 12-18 months and over 50 million active handsets in circulation, ‘Upgrade & Protect’ transforms traditional instalment plans into a dynamic monthly subscription that empowers consumers to swap, upgrade, or protect their devices anytime. For telcos, the model unlocks new recurring revenue streams while aligning with growing ESG mandates.

    This innovation arrives at a pivotal time, with UAE and GCC markets moving rapidly toward Net Zero and green digital transformation. The program aligns closely with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategy and the GSMA’s Circular Economy for Mobile Devices initiative, supporting a shift away from linear consumption toward a more regenerative, technology-enabled future.

    An Integrated Ecosystem Powering Circular Innovation ‘Upgrade & Protect’ is enabled by Basatne’s regional infrastructure, combining the power of Cartlow’s re-commerce and trade-in platform with Ardroid’s AI-powered reverse logistics engine. Together, they provide telcos with a complete circular framework, from seamless device collection and grading to resale, refurbishment, and responsible recycling.

    Likewize brings its global expertise to ensure scalability and telco readiness. Its risk-free operational model gives mobile operators access to a full turnkey solution with measurable economic returns and environmental impact.

    The Market Opportunity

    The GCC is primed for the shift to device-as-a-service models:

    • Smartphone penetration exceeds 90% across GCC markets.

    • Handset replacement cycles average 12-18 months, creating strong upgrade demand.

    • The global device subscription market is projected to exceed USD 25 billion by 2027.

    • By 2026, 5G adoption is expected to cover 73% of GCC mobile subscriptions.

Nearly 16 years later, the family business now includes Luke’s brothers Bryan and Mike.

    In 2018, Luke’s furthered their growing seafood company’s commitment to sustainability and socially conscious business practices by becoming a certified B Corporation®, reflecting Luke’s Lobster’s deep devotion to each of its communities, its family of teammates, and the environment. Luke’s is now the highest scoring B Corp Certified seafood company in the US, and in 2024 was a recipient of Travel + Leisure’s Global Vision Award.
