Investors — Corporate Governance, Traction & Advisory

Sovereign retail and industrial infrastructure — 55 offline-first apps, cryptographically interlocked edge hardware and grounded AI, engineered under TolsTek Group and operated by Jiggle De Venture Private Limited (JDVPL) since 2017.

Investment thesis

One operating system from the counter to the plant floor.

While legacy ERPs tax every seat and cloud-only SaaS halts whenever a leased line drops, RetailDA™ compounds through per-site economics, local-first execution and sovereign deployment options.

The platform — 55 apps, 1 ledger

POS, inventory, MedixDA pharmacy, hotel PMS, kitchen KDS, fiscal compliance, grounded RAG and PLC/SCADA control sharing a single offline-first data model.

The wedge — Per site, not per seat

Land single stores in an afternoon with AI Delta OS (₹999/site/mo yearly), expand multi-site chains into Growth & Scale across 55 apps, and win air-gapped tenders cloud vendors forfeit.

The moat — Sovereign & interlocked IP

Code-signed offline runtimes, TolsTek Sovereign Host portable servers, and cryptographically interlocked TOLSTOY & DriveN™ VFD hardware modules that cannot be cloned.

Verified production traction

Field-proven across retail, defence, education & utilities.

Every proof point below is an audited production deployment running on the same core codebase — representative examples drawn from over 18,000 instances in live production since 2020, spread across three-plus tax regimes and shipped as WeBFooT® through seven channels: Amazon, Flipkart, IndiaMART, Software Suggest, TechJockey, WeBFooT®.in and word of mouth. Zero invented vanity metrics.

Investor FAQ

Governance, unit economics & data-room access.

TOLSTEK GROUP (tolstek.in) is the apex holding — an MSME-registered manufacturing enterprise (Udyam UDYAM-WB-06-0068942) headquartered at TolsTek Hub, Darjeeling — stewarding hardware plants, patents and the brand umbrella across WeBFooT® Ultra Z, AI Delta OS, MedixDA, ShivOlive™ and TolsTek Host. Jiggle De Venture Private Limited (jdvpl.in, CIN U74999WB2017PTC222869, incorporated 2017, RoC Kolkata) is the operating and contracting legal entity executing all commercial agreements, enterprise tenders and invoicing.

We price per site rather than per seat — allowing rapid single-store acquisition via AI Delta OS and high-retention expansion into 55-app WeBFooT® Ultra Z, managed TolsTek Sovereign Host servers, and proprietary TOLSTOY/DriveN™ industrial hardware modules.

Yes. The deployments cited — the 7-outlet / 97-terminal retail network live since 2021, the air-gapped defence & PSU canteen operations on TolsTek Host, the ₹20L custody deployment and the ShivOlive™ water plants — are representative examples drawn from a larger installed base: over 18,000 instances of the same engine running in production since 2020 across three-plus tax regimes.
