Optical fiber equipment startup Digital Striker has secured $1 million (around ₹8.5 crore) in fresh funding from Foxhog Ventures, as it prepares to move beyond an import-heavy model.
The Delhi-based company said a major portion of the capital, about ₹5-6 crore, will go towards building its manufacturing capabilities, expanding its workforce, and setting up offices in key metropolitan markets.
The remaining funds will be used to sustain existing import and distribution operations while local production is phased in.
Established in 2021 by Priyanka, Digital Striker works in the optical fibre tools and equipment segment, offering a range of products including fibre strippers, cleavers, visual fault locators, optical power meters, and fibre splicing machines.
The company sells its offerings through a pan-India network of resellers, serving customers across the telecom and infrastructure sectors.
In the first stage of its manufacturing push, the company plans to locally produce five to seven products, with plans to widen the product range over time. Digital Striker says it has already built relationships with more than 450 resellers and end customers across the country.
Prior to this funding round, the company was fully bootstrapped and recorded a turnover of ₹8.85 crore over 40 months of operations. Over the coming years, Digital Striker aims to scale manufacturing and strengthen its distribution footprint across India.
