Foxhog Ventures Backs Digital Striker with $1 Million to Localise Optical Fibre Tools Production in India

Digital Striker, an optical fiber tools and equipment startup, has secured $1 million (approximately ₹8.5 crore) in funding from Foxhog Ventures to establish local manufacturing operations in India. 

Funding to Power Local Manufacturing Plans 

Digital Striker will use a significant portion of the newly raised capital to establish a manufacturing facility in India.  

The company plans to invest ₹5–6 crore in building manufacturing infrastructure, onboarding skilled manpower, and setting up offices in key Indian cities. The remaining funds will support ongoing import-based operations to meet customer demand during the transition phase. 

Addressing a Critical Gap in Telecom Infrastructure 

India's telecom sector is expanding rapidly with increasing broadband penetration and data consumption. Optical fiber tools have traditionally been imported, creating a gap in domestic supply chains.  

Digital Striker aims to bridge this gap by offering locally manufactured alternatives that reduce procurement delays, lower costs, and provide quicker after-sales support to telecom operators and contractors. 

Strong Early Traction and Market Presence 

Founded in 2021, Digital Striker has built a nationwide distribution network of more than 450 resellers and channel partners.  

The company has reported a cumulative turnover of ₹8.85 crore over 40 months. In the first phase of manufacturing, it plans to locally produce 5–7 core tools, with additional products to be added based on market demand.
