Company

Operators since 2009.

Esto Networks builds and runs a national wholesale IP backbone — transit, IPTV, peering, colocation, and a 24/7 NOC — for the ISPs, LCOs, and content partners who carry India online. We’re a carrier’s carrier: our customers are networks, not households.

§ 01Who we are

A carrier’s carrier, not a retail brand.

We own the fibre, hold the licenses, run the peering, and staff the NOC — so the operators downstream of us don’t have to. One backbone, one bill, one team behind the pager.

Retail — home internet and IPTV-to-subscribers — lives separately at esto.in. This is the wholesale side: the transit, the exchanges, the caches, and the operations desk that regional ISPs and content partners plug into. Everything you see here is what we run for ourselves, offered to you.

Work the backbone.
