Born in Nashik.
Built for India.
Trusted by the World.
In 2005, a 23-year-old started a support desk in a kindergarten classroom after hours. No backing. No blueprint. One belief that would not let go that India's data must be owned, operated and accountable to India alone. Everything ESDS has built since then is proof of that belief.
Integrated with India’s Leading CBS & Payment Ecosystem
Built in Nashik. Enabling Digital India Since 2005.

Four Billion One Purpose
ESDS’s 4Bs by 2027 mission is not a growth target. It is a declaration of what technology should accomplish for people, for the planet and for India.
1 Billion People
To connect and positively impact the lives of one billion people through technology and sovereign cloud services. Banking, governance, healthcare, education. Digital inclusion at national scale.
1 Billion Devices
To connect one billion smart devices to the ESDS Cloud platform. IoT infrastructure for smart cities, smart grids, smart agriculture. The physical world, made intelligent through sovereign cloud.
1 Billion Trees
A commitment to restore nature by planting one billion trees to reduce carbon footprints. Not a pledge on a slide.
1 Billion Dollars
To grow into a billion-dollar enterprise. Not as an end. As proof that responsible, sovereign, Indian-built technology can compete and win at global scale.
