New Delhi, India (June 24, 2025) – Arrive AI (NASDAQ: ARAI), the trailblazer behind autonomous delivery infrastructure powered by its patented Arrive Points™, has entered into a groundbreaking partnership with Skye Air Mobility, India’s leading hyperlocal drone logistics provider. This international collaboration marks a significant leap forward in automating last-mile delivery across one of the world’s most dynamic and densely populated markets.
Scaling Smart Logistics Across India
Skye Air currently operates 7-minute drone delivery services in Gurugram (part of the Delhi NCR region) and Bengaluru, completing approximately 6,000 deliveries per day. Through this partnership, Arrive AI will co-develop and install its secure autonomous delivery mailboxes—Arrive Points™—across Skye Air’s service regions.
The rollout will begin with 60 Arrive Points in Gurugram, followed by phased expansion aligned with Skye Air’s growth strategy. The long-term vision includes deploying 500 Arrive Points in Skye Air’s operating zones, serving the 33+ million people in New Delhi and beyond.
Transforming the Delivery Experience
Dan O’Toole, Founder and CEO of Arrive AI, highlighted the strategic importance of this venture:
“India’s density, tech-forward population, and government encouragement of drone delivery create an unparalleled opportunity for innovation. This partnership allows us to demonstrate how secure autonomous delivery at scale can change lives. It’s not just delivery—it’s about building a universally trusted custody layer for smart logistics in a billion-plus population.”
Arrive AI’s Arrive Points are more than smart mailboxes. They are secure, app-controlled delivery hubs designed to work with people, robots, and drones alike. As physical mini cross-docks, they represent the next phase of autonomous infrastructure, significantly improving the reliability, traceability, and security of last-mile delivery networks.
Infrastructure for Scalable Autonomy
Ankit Kumar, Founder and CEO of Skye Air, emphasized the role of robust infrastructure in drone delivery:
“We’re already delivering over 200,000 packages every month in a single city. To scale across India, infrastructure is absolutely key. That’s why we’re investing heavily in it. With access to over 60 residential and commercial complexes in Gurugram alone, and expansion to cities like Bengaluru, we’re well-positioned to lead India’s autonomous delivery revolution.”
Kumar also spoke to the synergy between Skye Air’s drone capabilities and Arrive AI’s hardware:
“Partnering with Arrive AI comes at the perfect time. As we scale our operations, their advanced, secure delivery points will dramatically improve delivery flow and efficiency. We can’t wait to deploy them on the ground.”
Laying the Foundation for Global Adoption
The partnership also has broader implications for international markets. Kiran Paul, who oversees international business development for Arrive AI, was instrumental in formalizing the alliance.
“India is only the beginning. Once we demonstrate the effectiveness of Arrive Points in high-demand regions like New Delhi and Bengaluru, we anticipate global interest from cities looking to future-proof their smart logistics infrastructure.”
Sustainability at the Core
Beyond innovation and scale, both Arrive AI and Skye Air are aligned on sustainability. Every drone delivery through Skye Air’s network reduces carbon emissions by approximately 520 grams compared to traditional delivery methods. With over 200,000 deliveries a month, that translates to more than 2.6 metric tons of CO₂ saved monthly.
This partnership will enhance the operational efficiency of Skye Air’s growing fleet—currently 30+ drones—and pave the way for integration with future ground-based autonomous delivery vehicles, expanding their sustainability impact even further.
What Comes Next
Arrive AI expects the first units to be delivered and deployed within calendar year 2025, beginning with Gurugram and then expanding to other metro areas in India.
As smart cities worldwide look to optimize last-mile logistics, the integration of secure delivery points like Arrive Points with autonomous air and ground systems presents a scalable model for fast, safe, and efficient delivery.
