Insights
Arrive AI's partnership with Skye Air expands its autonomous delivery network to India, creating significant growth potential in a massive, drone-friendly market.
This partnership between Arrive AI and Skye Air Mobility represents a strategic international expansion into one of the world's largest and fastest-growing markets for autonomous delivery. The initial deployment of 60 Arrive Points in Gurugram, with plans to expand to 500 units across Skye Air's service areas, provides Arrive AI with immediate scale in a market exceeding 33 million people in the New Delhi region alone.
What makes this particularly significant is Skye Air's established operational footprint - already processing approximately 6,000 deliveries daily (roughly 200,000 monthly packages). This provides Arrive AI with an immediate customer base rather than starting from zero. India's regulatory environment appears favorable toward drone delivery advancement, removing a typical barrier faced in other markets.
The structure of this partnership is noteworthy - rather than merely selling hardware, Arrive AI is positioning as an essential infrastructure layer for autonomous delivery networks. Their secure custody solution addresses a critical pain point in the autonomous delivery ecosystem where package security and handoff verification create significant friction.
For investors, this demonstrates Arrive AI's ability to scale internationally and validates their technology in diverse market conditions. The anticipated 2025 deployment timeline suggests relatively near-term revenue impact. This partnership could serve as a blueprint for similar arrangements in other high-density urban environments across developing markets where traditional delivery infrastructure is insufficient for rapidly growing e-commerce demand.
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.
