Founded in 2020, DigiBoxx is a ‘Made in India’ storage as a service for individuals and businesses. DigiBoxx allows registered users to share, store and track their assets. HDFC Life, Jio, ProBurst and Schneider Electric are among the many companies that have partnered with DigiBoxx for its cloud services. In an interaction with Times of India Tech, DigiBoxx CTO Abhijit Ray talks about the company, competition and more
What sets DigiBoxx apart from competition?
DigiBoxx was born from the need of affordable storage for everyone. Today, pretty much everyone generates digital content on their phones, computers and other personal digital devices. This has led to fragmented offline storage and created the need for a cloud-based central repository that can be accessible from any connected device. This need is followed by the requirement of an affordable cloud storage option, which has not been available in the Indian market.
There are major players in this space in the world today but none have given a thought to the regular, everyday people in India who also have a digital footprint but do not have a big budget for cloud storage. That’s where DigiBoxx comes in. Our free plan offers a substantial 20GB storage space and the paid packages are very affordable to everyone, irrespective of their economic status.
Where are DigiBoxx data centres located?
We have multiple data centres currently situated in Noida, Mumbai and Indore. That said, we are looking to expand further. Along with that, we also have offices in Mumbai, Gurugram, Gurgaon, Bengaluru and Kolkata. Kolkata, in particular, has been our recent expansion and has become a major delivery centre for us. We are actively hiring local talent for the hub there.
Who is your target audience?
In all honesty, our target is everyone. To be more precise, anyone with a phone is our audience. If you visit our website, you will find two main kinds of packages:

We cater to all, that’s how scalable DigiBoxx can be to cater to an organization’s needs. All businesses need to store and share digital files or documents for all kinds of operations like collaborations and campaigns. For instance, our SMB package can be used as a highly scalable Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution for creative agencies.
