The PDO Earning Logic: How You Get Paid

As a PDO (the shop owner), you provide the Wi-Fi signal. The PDOA (Aggregator) handles the software and payments.

  • Revenue Share: Typically, the PDO keeps 90% of the total sales, while the PDOA takes 10% for maintenance and software.

  • Pricing: You sell small "data sachets" (e.g., ₹5 for 1GB/day or ₹100 for a monthly plan).

Monthly Expense Breakdown (Operating Costs)

To run a PDO, your monthly recurring costs are minimal:

  1. Broadband Bill: ₹500 - ₹1,000 (You can use your existing shop connection).

  2. Electricity: ₹100 - ₹200 (Access Points consume very low power, similar to a mobile charger).

  3. Maintenance: ₹100 - ₹200 (Misc).

Pro Tip: Your biggest "profit booster" is footfall. If customers sit at your shop to use the Wi-Fi, they are 40% more likely to buy snacks, tea, or groceries from you!


How to Maximize Your PM-WANI Profits

  1. Strategic Placement: Install your Outdoor Access Point at a height of 10-15 feet for maximum coverage (up to 200 meters).

  2. Signage: Put up a bright "FREE WI-FI ZONE" or "PM-WANI HOTSPOT" board outside your shop.

  3. Combo Offers: Give a "Free 30-minute Wi-Fi Coupon" for every purchase above ₹100 in your shop to build a loyal user base.
