Digital Striker raises $1 million from Foxhog Ventures

Digital Striker Private Limited, an optical fiber tools and equipment company, has raised $1 million (around Rs 8.5 crore) in a funding round from Foxhog Ventures. 

The startup says it will use about Rs 5–6 crore from the funding to build a manufacturing facility, hire staff, and open offices in major cities. The rest of the funds will support imports while local production grows.

Priyanka, Co-Founder, Digital Striker, said, "We started Digital Striker because we saw firsthand how badly the industry needed local solutions. Every single tool strippers, cleavers, OTDRs was coming from China with no local support, no customisation, and painful payment terms. This funding from Foxhog gives us the runway to finally start manufacturing in India. We will be the first, and we intend to do it right."

Tarun Poddar, CEO, Foxhog Ventures, said, "When we first looked at Digital Striker, one thing was clear this is a problem India cannot afford to ignore. We are 100% dependent on China for something as critical as optical fiber tools, and that is not sustainable. But what really stood out was what Baijnath and Deepak have already built ₹8.85 crore in revenue and 450+ resellers in just 40 months, entirely bootstrapped. They are not just talking about Make in India they are actually doing it. That tells us everything about the founders. Now with this funding, they have everything they need to start manufacturing locally and break India's dependency on China in a sector that touches every telecom tower in the country.
