The Paperless Pioneer: Digio and India’s Digital Transaction Revolution

Introduction to Digio

With the digital-first approach revolutionizing the way businesses function today, there is one company that is leading India's paperless revolution. Digio, started in 2016 by former Flipkart executive Abhinav Parashar and former Twitter professional Sanket Nayak, has become the top digital transaction and document management platform in India, empowering more than 100 million individual users and 1,500+ businesses nationwide.

What started as an initiative to integrate India's disjointed digital landscape has grown into an extensive set of solutions that replace paper-based procedures, simplify operational complexities, and bring financial inclusion to the Digital India age.

The Challenges of Digio

In a world that was waterlogged with paper, signatures, stamps, and red tape, India's drive towards Digital India required more than slogans — it required a strong, compliant, and user-centric digital documentation framework.

Witnessing this void firsthand during tenures at Flipkart and Twitter, Abhinav Parashar and Sanket Nayak decided to join forces in 2016 to create Digio — a unified platform to declutter the complexity of paper-based workflows, verification issues, and piecemeal financial transactions.

Strategic Growth

Digio's method was boldly simple: Keep it simple, keep it simple, keep it simple. From e-signatures to recurring collections, video KYC to secure data pooling, each and every feature of Digio's suite was designed with one intention — substitute clunky physical paperwork with effortless digital flows that scale for millions.

Their products set industry benchmarks:

• DigiSign: Aadhaar-based eSign and DSC signing

• DigiDocs: Automated document generation with eStamping

• DigiKYC: Video and PAN-based instant KYC

• DigiCollect: Seamless recurring payment collection

• DigioLink: Retrieve financial information from banks and insurers securely

For fintech behemoths, banks, and startups alike, Digio became a plug-and-play offering with simple APIs and SDKs. Better still, it never went down — with a record of zero downtime for business-critical operations.

Financial Performance

Currently, Digio operates with more than 100 million individual customers and 1,500+ businesses across the country — from lean startups to India's largest financial players. By FY23, it clocked ₹103.39 crore in revenue and a strong profit of ₹41.38 crore, while raising smart capital from the best names like Groww and Rainmatter.

But Digio's heart beats outside profit lines. Its #DigioForGood initiative sponsors education for disadvantaged children, grows trees, revives wells, and increases digital literacy for girls — showing that a company founded on digital signatures can also sign off on actual-world impact.

With India sprinting toward a $5-trillion economy, Digio continues to be a low-key yet integral foundation — one that makes millions sign, confirm, and settle securely, at once, and without the sacrifice of a single tree for paperwork again.
