AITMC Ventures and DroneAcharya Unite to Transform the Drone Industry

DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations, a BSE SME-listed company, has signed a term sheet to merge with AVPL International, the operator of AITMC Ventures. This strategic alliance aims to reshape India’s drone industry by combining the strengths of both organizations to deliver specialized solutions in agriculture, defense, logistics, and space technology.

DroneAcharya hailed the merger as a “transformative step” in its recent announcement, highlighting its potential to revolutionize the drone ecosystem. The collaboration will integrate expertise across hardware, software, automation, and skill development into a unified framework.

Prateek Srivastava, Founder and MD of DroneAcharya, called the merger a “force multiplier,” emphasizing its capacity to set global benchmarks. Preet Sandhuu, Founder and MD of AITMC Ventures, echoed the sentiment, describing it as a key milestone in building a leading presence in drone technology. Discussions for the merger began in December 2024, with an expected conclusion within eight months, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Operational Synergies

Following the merger, the companies plan to integrate core functions such as finance, legal, and compliance while retaining their individual brand identities. The combined entity, tentatively named “AVPL DroneAcharya,” will focus on cutting-edge innovations like robotics, IoT integration, Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS), and GIS solutions.

AVPL International boasts infrastructure across 12 Indian states, including 50 Global Incubation and Skill Hubs (GISH) and 20 World Incubation and Skill Hubs (WISH), with a strong focus on agriculture and drones. Meanwhile, DroneAcharya, known for its R&D and operational excellence, recently secured an INR 7.53 lakh contract with the Indian Army for drone training.

Financial Overview

DroneAcharya debuted on the BSE SME platform in December 2022 but reported a 62.1% profit decline to INR 1.50 crore in H1 FY25 due to election-related disruptions, despite a 28.8% revenue increase to INR 26.90 crore. Srivastava remains confident about Q4 FY25, citing promising projects ahead.

AITMC Ventures saw a 95.2% surge in operating revenue to INR 41.87 crore in FY24, with an 82.6% rise in profits to INR 8.84 crore. The company has postponed its planned NSE Emerge IPO to prioritize the merger, with a mainboard listing for the merged entity anticipated within eight months post-merger.

Strategic Growth

Both companies have been pursuing aggressive expansion strategies. DroneAcharya recently entered the Middle East market, partnered with Canada’s Volatus for advanced drone solutions, and introduced an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) to align employee goals with organizational objectives.

AITMC Ventures continues to strengthen its presence in the agri-drone sector through its skill hubs and training programs. The merger is expected to enhance these efforts by integrating DroneAcharya’s technology-driven capabilities.

Well, who would’ve thought that one could make ₹1,000 crores revenue by making mayonnaise and sauces? Well, Veeba did. In roughly 10 years, the company has a 50% market share in the sauce, mayonnaise, & dip market (condiments). Viraj Bahl, the visionary behind Veeba Foods, not only imagined it but made it a reality.

Viraj Bahl, founder and managing director of Veeba Foods, is a new Shark on Shark Tank India season 4. Viraj's story began with a failed restaurant venture, but with unwavering support from his wife and relentless perseverance, he turned his fortunes around and built one of India's leading sauce manufacturers. 

Inspired by his father's successful food business, Viraj's entrepreneurial spirit was evident from a young age. He joined the family business, Fun Foods, and played a crucial role in its growth. In 2008, Fun Foods was sold to Dr. Oetker, a decision Viraj did not agree with. Determined to succeed, he launched his own restaurant, Pocket Full, which unfortunately failed. 

Turning Point 

Viraj Bahl and his wife sold their house to fund their next venture, Veeba Foods, in 2013. Starting as a B2B supplier to well-known quick-service eateries, Veeba quickly expanded into the retail market.

Veeba Foods' Success

Veeba Foods is now valued at over Rs. 1,000 crore. Viraj's dedication and commitment to quality have made Veeba a household name in India. 

Let’s start by asking a question. Which Ear pods do you use while travelling? Chances are that you might name boAt,  a popular wearables brand. Again the question would be do you know who its Founder is? This question that most of you would have answers too, especially if you have seen the popular TV show, Shark Tank India. It’s Aman Gupta.

• boAt is a popular Indian consumer electronics brand known for its audio products, such as earphones, headphones, speakers, and related accessories. The company has maintained a strong market presence, particularly in the audio segment, where it holds a dominant position.

• As boAt prepares for its highly anticipated IPO, it aims to raise funds to fuel further growth, repay debts, and enhance its market reach. 

• The upcoming IPO of Imagine Marketing Ltd., with the brand name boAt, is set to launch with an issue size of Rs 2,000 Crs, including a fresh issue of Rs 900 Crs and an offer for sale of Rs 1,100 Crs, the IPO will provide investors with an opportunity to be part of boAt's growth story.

The Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India (MSEI) conducted its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on January 18, 2025, via e-voting, where key resolutions, as outlined in the notice, were duly approved.

Shareholder Concerns and IPO Prospects

• IPO timeline: A significant portion of shareholder inquiries revolved around MSEI’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) plans, seeking clarity on the anticipated listing timeline. Notably, only one shareholder raised concerns regarding the company’s long-term strategy, its ongoing legal case with NSE, and the management’s efforts towards profitability. He has also questioned the management's recurring assurances regarding future profitability and IPO plans, emphasising that despite such assurances, the company has yet to achieve sustained profitability. Additionally, he expressed concerns over stock price volatility, which tends to rise on positive news but subsequently declines, failing to reflect any fundamental improvement.
  
  
• Furthermore, the shareholder proposed conducting hybrid meetings to facilitate in-person attendance, enabling shareholders to engage in direct dialogue with management. However, MSEI’s management declined this request, citing the geographically dispersed shareholder base across India. The company reaffirmed its commitment to virtual meetings to ensure broader accessibility.

Management’s Response

The management reiterated its stance that the company will pursue an IPO once it achieves profitability. They emphasized their first focus on the equity cash segment while holding licenses for both equity and derivative segments.

Private Placement of Equity Shares

On the recent controversy regarding the non-issuance of shares to previous investors, the Company Secretary clarified that the funds raised through this private placement followed a prior notification to existing shareholders regarding a rights issue. However, as there was no response from existing shareholders, the company proceeded with the private placement.

Company Valuation Approach
Two independent valuers were present at the EGM to elucidate the valuation methodology employed for the company. They adopted a dual-approach framework:

1. Income Approach (Discounted Cash Flow - DCF Methodology): This approach assessed the company’s valuation based on revenue and cash flow projections provided by MSEI, incorporating necessary adjustments. However, no specific projections were disclosed to shareholders.
   
   
2. Market Approach (Revenue Multiples): Given that MSEI is EBITDA-negative, the valuers opted for a revenue multiple-based valuation. Since BSE is the only listed stock exchange in India, global listed exchanges were used as benchmarks to derive a comparable valuation.
   

Conclusion

The EGM highlighted investor concerns regarding MSEI’s financial performance and IPO plans, with shareholders urging greater transparency and engagement. While management remains committed to profitability before proceeding with an IPO, investor scepticism persists, particularly around the company's long-term strategy and execution. Going forward, MSEI’s ability to address these concerns and demonstrate tangible progress will be critical in gaining investor confidence and paving the way for a successful public listing.
