What Digital Waves does

Digital Waves International Private Limited is a Bangalore-headquartered trading and distribution company incorporated on 11 December 2003, operating primarily across South India with stocking facilities in Chennai, Coimbatore, and Tuticorin. The company runs six distinct commodity verticals: IT hardware (laptops, screens, motherboards, servers, mobile phones), agricultural commodities (raw cashew nuts from multiple African origins, black eyed beans, cloves, soyabeans), foundry grade materials (low ash metallurgical coke from China, steel shots, cut wire shots, lead scrap), marble blocks (sourced globally), textile machinery and fabric materials, and linen rental/laundry services through its wholly-owned sub-brand 'The Linen People'.

The company's sole branded manufactured product is Zycrobial-50, a surface disinfectant built on proprietary Retentive Anti Microbial Technology that creates a bio-static gel layer with positive charge to attract negatively-charged bacteria and viruses, delivering up to 90 days of protection per application and a 48-month shelf life; the product is sold through the company's own e-commerce storefront for Rs. 1,500 per liter. Digital Waves also operates a pan-India e-waste collection and recycling program through its partnership with Swach Enviro E-Waste India Pvt. Ltd., with reverse logistics handled by OM Logistics.

The business model is one-time transactional trading of imported and domestic goods, primarily B2B into industrial segments (foundries, battery manufacturers, textile processors, trouser manufacturers) and increasingly D2C via the e-commerce channel for Zycrobial-50, supplemented by a recurring-revenue linen rental service. Distribution is split between an established dealer/partner network across South India for industrial goods and direct field sales out of Bangalore; the company is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors, an authorized share capital of Rs. 30,000,000 and paid-up capital of Rs. 5,000,000.
