Della Adventure Training Academy

What Della Adventure Training Academy does

Della Adventure Training Academy (D.A.T.A.), operated by Della Adventure & Resorts Pvt. Ltd. and chaired by Jimmy Mistry, is a single-asset luxury experiential resort located in Khandala/Lonavala, Maharashtra. It is positioned as India's first military-themed luxury glamping resort and combines upscale accommodation (27 luxury glamping tents and a Presidential Suite), a 22-obstacle military-style training course, banquet facilities, and instructor-led team-building and survival programs. Programming is delivered by instructors drawn from elite Indian Special Forces backgrounds (NSG, Marcos, Army Special Forces), which functions as the core operational differentiator.

Revenue is generated from three principal streams: luxury accommodation (rooms from approximately ₹13,500 per night), corporate training and outbound programs (₹5,000–₹10,000 per person, with capacity for up to 120 participants per event), and ancillary family/activity packages (around ₹2,000 per person). Go-to-market is direct corporate sales via owned offices in Mumbai, Pune, and Indore, supplemented by inbound travel and event channels, with a customer base spanning financial services, banking, energy, industrial equipment, and oilfield services enterprises.

The business model is a hybrid of high-end hospitality and B2B experiential training, monetized through short-duration event bookings rather than recurring contracts. Unit economics depend on occupancy of the 27-tent inventory and the frequency of multi-day corporate bookings at the training facility. Recognition includes Tripadvisor Best of Best awards in 2023 and 2025, supporting premium positioning. No revenue, funding, or formal headcount figures have been disclosed for the resort entity itself; the broader Della group reports 2,500+ employees.
