Current Economics don’t add up for over 70% subscribers
The Indian scenario is truly unique – with one of the highest spectrum costs, and the lowest data prices in the world - the current Telco economics wont be able to sustain in the long-term. Additionally, the bulk of growth over the next decade is expected to come from Rural India and the economics there are far more strained.

The onus to connect the next billion lies on networks, but digital services are the ones who will benefit from the same.
The Edge is at the forefront in powering Networks of the Future
The Edge is crucial for existing networks to cater to the data-hungry user and their ever-increasing demand for new technologies. SugarBox has the widest and the deepest Edge footprint optimizing the current network capacity and enabling Networks to leverage third-party networks, in order to augment coverage and save spectrum.
Reimagining the Business Model for the Internet Ecosystem
The current ecosystem is fragmented. SugarBox bridges the gap between the Internet Infrastructure and the Internet Economy to create a symbiotic revenue model, where Networks can earn from User consumption. And interestingly making it viable for them to drive sustainable connectivity in Rural India.
