The Adani Group’s commercial drones division is exploring two revenue models — dealer-based and service-based — while keeping its primary focus on the agriculture sector, a top official of the conglomerate said on Saturday.
In a dealer-based model, the equipment is sold directly to the customer. In a service-based model, the equipment is provided for various services for a fee in partnership with a local entrepreneur or an institution. The tractor industry uses both these sales models.
“We are exploring both models — dealer-based model and service-based model. Depending on the market response, we will take our decisions,” Rangarajan Vijayaraghavan, Vice President, Strategy and Chairman’s Office, Adani Group, told PTI in an interview, a day after the conglomerate announced acquiring 50 per cent equity stake in drone start-up General Aeronautics.
