Optical fibre tools and equipment startup Digital Striker has raised USD 1 million (approximately Rs 8.5 crore) from Foxhog Ventures, as the company accelerates plans to scale local manufacturing and strengthen its domestic footprint. Through this funding, the startup aims to reduce import dependence while expanding its operational capabilities across India.
According to the company, it will deploy Rs 5–6 crore from the fresh capital toward setting up a manufacturing facility, hiring key talent, and establishing offices in major metro cities. Meanwhile, the company will allocate the remaining funds to continue import operations as it gradually ramps up domestic manufacturing capacity.
Founded in 2021 by Priyanka, Digital Striker operates in the optical fibre tools and equipment segment and supplies products such as fibre strippers, cleavers, visual fault locators, power meters, and splicing machines. At present, the company imports these tools and distributes them across India through a reseller-led distribution network.
As part of its localisation strategy, Digital Striker plans to initiate domestic manufacturing with five to seven products in the first phase. Subsequently, the startup intends to expand its product portfolio in a phased manner based on market demand and operational readiness.
Additionally, the startup claims it has built a network of over 450 resellers and end customers nationwide, reflecting strong traction in a niche but growing market. Until this funding round, Digital Striker operated as a bootstrapped venture and reported a turnover of Rs 8.85 crore over the last 40 months, underscoring steady revenue growth.
Looking ahead, Digital Striker plans to scale its manufacturing operations over the next few years. At the same time, the company aims to deepen its distribution reach across key Indian markets, positioning itself as a domestically manufactured alternative in the optical fibre tools ecosystem.
