Investment Proposal

XiteNodes - Gaming & VPS Hosting Platform

₹1 Crore Seed Round | 5-6% Equity

February 2026

Executive Summary

We are seeking ₹1 Crore in seed investment to scale an established infrastructure operator with ₹70-85 Lakh in owned network assets (ASN + 1,280 IPv4 addresses), proven 80% YoY organic growth, and a unique procurement pipeline for enterprise hardware at 1/3rd retail cost.

The Opportunity: This investment enables three strategic initiatives: (1) ₹20L first-ever marketing campaign, (2) ₹20L infrastructure expansion using hyperscaler hardware auctions (enterprise-grade at 33% cost), (3) ₹10L IP infrastructure expansion to become transit provider (new wholesale revenue stream), (4) ₹24L Tier-1 ISP connectivity, (5) ₹26L reserves (26-month runway).

Strategic Pivot: We're transitioning from hosting provider to infrastructure provider - adding wholesale transit/bandwidth business on top of retail hosting. This diversifies revenue and commands higher valuation multiples (6-10x EBITDA for infrastructure vs. 3-5x for hosting).

Why This Investment Works: Unlike typical startups burning cash to find product-market fit, we're asset-rich (₹75-90L pre-money, ₹100-120L post-money) with proven demand, procurement advantages competitors can't match, and expansion into higher-margin wholesale business. We're not asking you to bet on potential - we're asking you to invest in proven operators with unfair advantages.

Infrastructure Assets: Why We're Different

₹75-90 Lakh in Owned Infrastructure (Pre-Investment)

We're not a typical startup renting everything. We OWN critical infrastructure that takes competitors 2-3 years and significant capital to replicate.

Network Infrastructure (₹70-85 Lakh Market Value)

Autonomous System Number (ASN) from RIPE
  • Clean history RIPE ASN: Standalone value ₹5-10L to the right buyer
  • Enables BGP routing and direct peering with CDNs, ISPs, and content networks
  • Enterprise credibility - signals serious infrastructure operation
  • Barrier to entry: Requires 2-3 years operational history and technical justification to RIRs
1,280 IPv4 Addresses (Owned, Not Leased)
  • 3x /24 blocks from APNIC & RIPE: 768 IPv4 addresses
  • 1x /23 block from IRINN: 512 IPv4 addresses (allocation pending approval, expected Q2 2026)
  • Market value: Clean history IPs trade at $50-60/IP globally = $64-76K USD = ₹54-65 Lakh minimum
  • With clean history premium + ASN bundling: Total IP infrastructure value = ₹70-85 Lakh
  • Annual cost savings vs. leasing: Competitors pay $1-3/IP/month = ₹1.1-3.3L/year for equivalent IP pool

Why IP Ownership Matters

IPv4 exhaustion makes these assets appreciate over time. IANA exhausted the global IPv4 pool in 2011. Regional registries (APNIC, RIPE, ARIN) have exhausted or near-exhausted pools. IP prices have risen from $8/IP (2015) to $50-60/IP (2025) and continue trending upward.

Clean history IPs are especially valuable: IPs without spam/abuse history command 20-30% premium. Our IPs have clean BGP and reputation history, making them valuable for hosting and email operations.

This is balance sheet gold. These assets can be collateralized, sold if needed, or held as appreciating inventory while generating operational value.

Physical Infrastructure

Current Hardware Deployment:
  • Owned Servers (Rajpura, Punjab):
    • Ryzen 9950x: 192GB RAM, 2TB NVMe (₹3.5-4L value)
    • Dell R630: Enterprise dual-processor server (₹1.5-2L value)
  • Rented Servers (Rajpura, Punjab): 7-8 servers via colocation
  • Rented Servers (Mumbai - OVH): 2 servers
  • Total Deployment: 2 owned + 9-10 rented = 11-12 servers in production

The Infrastructure Opportunity

We're currently renting 9-10 servers at ₹45,000/month (₹5.4L/year) while only owning 2.

This rental model creates two problems:

  • Margin compression: ₹5.4L/year in rental costs limits profitability even as revenue grows
  • Scaling constraint: As we add customers, we add rented servers, keeping costs proportional to revenue

The ₹30L hardware investment solves this:

  • Replace all 9-10 rented servers with owned hardware
  • Eliminate ₹30-35k/month in server rental costs (₹3.6-4.2L/year savings)
  • Post-investment infrastructure cost: ₹10-15k/month (just colocation space + ISP bandwidth)
  • Payback period: ~7-8 months from cost savings alone
  • Creates 3-4x capacity headroom for customer growth without proportional cost increases

Current Operations

Geographic Footprint & Cost Structure

Location Owned Hardware Rented Servers Monthly Cost Cost Breakdown
Rajpura, Punjab 2 servers
(Ryzen 9950x + Dell R630)
7-8 servers ₹30,000 • Server rentals: ~₹20-22k
• Colocation space: ~₹5k
• ISP bandwidth: ~₹3-5k
• Power & cross-connects: ~₹2k
Mumbai (OVH) 0 servers 2 servers ₹15,000 • OVH server rentals: ₹15k
(includes bandwidth, colo, managed services)
Total 2 owned 9-10 rented ₹45,000/month ₹5.4L/year
(~₹35-37k server rentals + ₹8-10k colo/ISP)

Post-Investment Cost Structure:

Cost Item Current Post-Investment Annual Savings
Server Rentals ₹35-37k/month ₹0 ₹4.2-4.4L/year
Colocation + ISP ₹8-10k/month ₹10-15k/month*
Total Infrastructure Cost ₹45k/month ₹10-15k/month ₹3.6-4.2L/year

*Post-investment colo/ISP costs may be slightly higher due to more hardware deployment, but overall cost reduction is 67-78%.

Revenue Performance: Proven Organic Growth

Year-over-Year Trajectory

Period Revenue Growth Marketing Spend
2024 (Full Year) ₹2,25,100 ₹0
2025 (Full Year) ₹4,05,100 +80% ₹0
January 2025 ₹14,259 ₹0
January 2026 ₹42,684 +199% ₹0

The Organic Growth Story

80% YoY revenue growth with zero marketing spend is exceptional. This demonstrates:

  • Strong product-market fit in budget gaming hosting segment
  • Word-of-mouth momentum from satisfied customers
  • Community-driven growth through gaming forums, Discord, Reddit
  • SEO and organic search positioning
  • Infinite LTV:CAC ratio - every rupee of revenue contributes directly to margin

The Question: If we grew 80% with ₹0 marketing, what happens when we invest ₹20L in targeted customer acquisition?

₹1,00,00,000

For 5-6% Equity (Negotiable)

Implied Post-Money Valuation: ₹16.7 - 20 Crores

Three-Pillar Growth Strategy

Pillar 1: First-Ever Marketing Investment (₹20L)

We've proven we can grow organically. Now we add paid acquisition on top of organic momentum.

Target: 2-3x customer acquisition rate | Expected CAC: ₹200-400 | Expected New Customers: 500-1,000 over 12-18 months | Revenue Impact: ₹8-15L additional ARR

Pillar 2: Mumbai Infrastructure Ownership (₹30L)

Replace OVH rental (₹15k/month) with owned hardware. Eliminate recurring costs, improve margins, and expand capacity.

Annual Savings: ₹1.8L/year | Capacity Expansion: 3-4x current Mumbai throughput | Payback: ~16 months from savings alone

Pillar 3: Tier-1 ISP Infrastructure (₹24L)

Bringing Vodafone (Tier-1 ISP) connectivity to Rajpura, Punjab datacenter with 24-month committed contract.

Why This Matters: Gaming hosting requires low latency and 99.9%+ uptime. Tier-1 ISPs have direct backbone access without intermediate hops - crucial for competitive advantage. 24-month commitment locks in 20-30% discount vs. spot pricing.

Detailed Use of Funds

Category Allocation % Strategic Purpose & ROI
Infrastructure Investment ₹30,00,000 30% Hardware Procurement (₹20L) - Enterprise-Grade at 1/3rd Retail Cost:

Procurement Strategy - Hyperscaler Hardware Auctions:
• AWS, GCP, Azure refresh infrastructure every 2 years regardless of condition
• Auction off entire batches - we procure enterprise-grade hardware at 1/3rd retail cost
• 1-2 year old servers still have 5-6 years of productive life
• We've built strong vendor pipeline over the years for selective procurement

Planned Hardware Deployment:
2x AMD Ryzen 9950x: 1 in Mumbai, 1 in Rajpura (latest gen, high-performance gaming workloads)
1x AMD EPYC Turin: High-density deployment in Rajpura (enterprise multi-tenant workloads)
1x AMD EPYC Milan: Medium-density deployment in Mumbai (VPS and enterprise hosting)

Why This Works:
• Enterprise-grade hardware (same specs as hyperscalers use) at startup prices
• ₹20L buys what would cost ₹60-70L retail
• Proven procurement pipeline - not speculative
• Eliminates ALL current server rentals (₹4.2L/year savings)

IP Infrastructure Expansion (₹10L) - Appreciating Assets:
• Acquire additional /23 IP blocks (512 IPs each) from IRINN/APNIC
• With multiple IP pools, enables TRANSIT PROVIDER expansion
New revenue stream: Sell bandwidth/transit to other hosting providers
• IP addresses appreciate over time (scarcity asset)
• ₹10L investment = ₹20-30L+ market value within 2-3 years

Strategic Impact:
• Positions company as infrastructure provider, not just hosting provider
• Creates wholesale business (selling to other providers) on top of retail
• Diversifies revenue streams beyond end-user hosting

• Built ₹75-90L in assets while bootstrapped
• Unlikely to burn even ₹50k/month given operating discipline
• 2+ years runway ensures time to execute growth plan
Total Investment ₹1,00,00,000 100%

Expected Return on Investment

Year 1 Impact (12-18 months post-investment):

  • Hardware (₹30L one-time CAPEX): ₹4.2-4.4L/year recurring savings from eliminating ALL server rentals (9-10 servers)
  • Marketing (₹20L): ₹8-12L new recurring revenue from 500-800 new customers
  • Tier-1 ISP (₹24L over 24 months): ₹4-6L total savings over contract period vs. spot pricing + improved retention through better SLA

Total Year 1 Financial Impact:

  • Cost savings: ₹4.2-4.4L (server rentals eliminated) + ₹2-3L (ISP contract discount) = ₹6-7L annual savings
  • New revenue: ₹8-12L from marketing-driven customer acquisition
  • Combined bottom-line improvement: ₹14-19L in Year 1

Year 2 Projection: ₹25-30L ARR with 70-80% gross margins (₹18-24L gross profit)

Hardware CAPEX Payback: 7-8 months from cost savings alone

Total Investment ROI: 18-24 months to 3-4x return at conservative acquisition multiples

Competitive Advantages

1. Asset-Backed Infrastructure (₹75-90L in Owned Assets)

We own ₹70-85L in IP infrastructure + ₹5-6L in hardware. This is extremely rare in Indian hosting and creates multiple competitive moats:

  • Balance sheet strength: Real, liquid assets that appreciate over time (IPv4 scarcity)
  • Cost advantage: Save ₹1-3L/year vs. competitors leasing equivalent IPs
  • Direct peering capability: ASN enables BGP peering with CDNs and ISPs
  • Enterprise credibility: ASN signals serious infrastructure operation
  • Barrier to entry: 2-3 years + technical expertise required to replicate
2. Proven Organic Growth Engine (80% YoY, Zero Marketing Spend)

Unlike competitors burning capital on paid acquisition, we've built sustainable word-of-mouth momentum. This ₹20L marketing investment is rocket fuel on a proven organic fire, not a desperate attempt to find customers.

3. Budget Market Positioning + Volume Strategy

The budget gaming hosting segment (₹200-800/month) represents 60-70% of total market demand but less than 30% of competitor focus. Incumbents chase premium customers with high support costs. We serve high-volume, low-touch segments with excellent retention through community-based usage.

4. Geographic Coverage: North India Latency Advantage

Most Indian hosting providers concentrate in Mumbai/Bangalore. Our Rajpura, Punjab location + Mumbai presence provides comprehensive coverage. North India gaming communities get 15-30ms latency advantage - meaningful for real-time gaming applications.

5. Tier-1 ISP + Owned Infrastructure = Unmatched Economics

Post-investment, we'll have: (1) Owned hardware in both locations, (2) Tier-1 ISP connectivity, (3) Own IP space, (4) Own ASN. Competitors must choose between owning infrastructure OR paying for premium connectivity - we'll have both.

6. Hyperscaler Hardware Procurement Pipeline (Enterprise-Grade at 1/3rd Cost)

We've built a procurement pipeline to acquire enterprise-grade hardware from AWS/GCP/Azure hardware refresh auctions at 1/3rd retail cost.

  • The Opportunity: Hyperscalers refresh infrastructure every 2 years regardless of condition and auction off entire batches
  • The Arbitrage: 1-2 year old enterprise servers (5-6 years productive life remaining) at 33% of retail cost
  • Proven Pipeline: Built vendor relationships over years - not speculative, we've done this before
  • Impact: ₹20L buys hardware that would cost ₹60-70L retail - same enterprise specs hyperscalers use
  • Competitive Moat: Most startups can't access hyperscaler auctions or don't know how to evaluate/procure at scale

This procurement advantage means we can outbid competitors on price while maintaining higher margins - they pay retail, we pay 1/3rd.

7. Expansion into Transit Provider Market (New Revenue Stream)

With ₹10L investment in additional IP blocks, we're positioned to become a transit/bandwidth provider - selling wholesale to other hosting companies.

  • Current Position: Own ASN + 1,280 IPs
  • Post-Investment: Multiple /23 blocks = ability to offer transit/peering services
  • New Revenue Stream: Sell bandwidth to other hosting providers (wholesale pricing, higher margins than retail)
  • Market Opportunity: Small/medium Indian hosting providers need upstream bandwidth - we can be their provider
  • Strategic Value: Moves us from "hosting provider" to "infrastructure provider" - completely different valuation multiples

Transit/bandwidth business has 60-80% gross margins and is sticky (multi-year contracts). This diversifies revenue beyond end-user hosting.

8. Exceptional Capital Efficiency (Bootstrapped Track Record)

We've been bootstrapped since day 1 and built ₹75-90L in infrastructure assets with minimal external capital. This isn't theory - we have a proven track record of lean operations:

  • Smart infrastructure decisions: Chose Rajpura, Punjab facility over popular (expensive) Noida datacenters - saving 40-50% on colocation costs
  • 26-month runway from ₹26L reserves: While typical startups burn through ₹26L in 3-4 months, we make it last 26+ months
  • 80% YoY growth with minimal overhead: No sales team, no fancy offices, no wasteful spending
  • Disciplined capital allocation: Every rupee spent has clear ROI - no vanity metrics or burn-rate culture

Why this matters: Investors get capital-efficient founders who won't waste the ₹1Cr. We know how to stretch capital and maximize ROI because we've been doing it from day 1.

Market Opportunity

Indian Gaming Hosting Market

Total Addressable Market

Budget Gaming Hosting Market (India):

  • Estimated 500,000+ active Minecraft servers in India
  • Average hosting cost: ₹400-600/month
  • TAM: ₹250-300 Crores annually

Current Market Share: ~0.15% (₹4L revenue / ₹250Cr TAM)

Target with ₹1Cr investment: 1-2% market share within 24 months (₹2.5-5Cr annual revenue)

Even capturing 0.5% of TAM = ₹1.25Cr annual revenue, far exceeding our projections.

Financial Projections

Conservative Revenue Model (24 Months)

Quarter Projected Revenue Infrastructure Cost Gross Profit Margin
Q2 2026 ₹1,50,000 ₹45,000 ₹1,05,000 70%
Q3 2026 ₹2,50,000 ₹45,000 ₹2,05,000 82%

Q3 2027 ₹7,50,000 ₹45,000 ₹7,05,000 94%
Year 1 Total (Post-Investment) ₹12,00,000 ₹1,80,000 ₹10,20,000 85%
Year 2 Total ₹27,00,000 ₹1,80,000 ₹25,20,000 93%

Note: Post-investment infrastructure cost = ₹15k/month (₹45k/quarter) for colocation, ISP, power, and cross-connects only. Server rental costs (currently ₹35-37k/month) eliminated through owned hardware.

Projection Assumptions (Conservative)

  • Marketing generates 500-800 new customers over 18 months (CAC: ₹250-400)
  • Organic growth continues at 50% YoY (well below current 80%)
  • Average customer LTV: ₹2,000 (proven)
  • Infrastructure costs post-hardware ownership: ₹10-15k/month (currently ₹45k) - server rentals eliminated
  • Tier-1 ISP improves retention by 10-15% through better performance
  • No premium product expansion (conservative - just core offerings)
  • Operating expenses remain minimal: Bootstrapped mindset, no sales team, lean operations (₹50k/month max overhead)

Risk Factors & Mitigation

Risk Probability Impact Mitigation Strategy
Marketing CAC higher than projected Medium Low ₹20L budget allows testing multiple channels; stop underperformers quickly; organic growth continues regardless
Hardware deployment delays Low Low Proven suppliers, standard enterprise hardware, existing operational knowledge; maintain OVH rental during transition
Competition from larger players Medium Low Budget segment focus, owned infrastructure cost advantage, community relationships, Tier-1 connectivity
Tier-1 ISP contract lock-in risk Low Low 24-month contract provides flexibility vs. 36-60 month typical; Vodafone is established operator with track record
VPS segment churn High Low VPS is only 15% of revenue; gaming hosting (85%) has superior retention; focusing on core strength
Market saturation Low Low Gaming market growing 15%+ annually; currently 0.15% market share; 99.85% of TAM still available

Why This Investment Works

The Compelling Case for Investors

1. Asset-Backed Investment (₹75-90L Pre-Money Assets)

We're not a typical cash-burning startup. We own ₹70-85L in IP infrastructure (appreciating assets) + ₹5-6L in hardware. Your ₹1Cr investment goes into a company that already has ₹75-90L in owned assets on the balance sheet.

2. Proven Model, Now Accelerating with Marketing

80% YoY growth with ₹0 marketing proves organic demand exists. This ₹20L marketing investment is being deployed against proven product-market fit, not a hypothesis. Expected 2-3x customer acquisition multiplier.

3. Multiple Value Creation Levers (De-Risked)

Investment works even if only 2 of 4 initiatives succeed: (1) Hardware procurement at 1/3rd cost eliminates ₹4.2L/year rentals, (2) Marketing = ₹8-15L new ARR, (3) Tier-1 ISP = ₹4-6L savings + retention, (4) Transit provider expansion = new wholesale revenue stream. Success on all four = ₹30-40L ARR by Year 2.

4. Hyperscaler Procurement Pipeline (Enterprise Hardware at 1/3rd Cost)

We've built vendor relationships to procure enterprise-grade hardware from AWS/GCP/Azure refresh auctions at 33% of retail cost. ₹20L buys hardware worth ₹60-70L retail. 1-2 year old servers with 5-6 years productive life remaining. This isn't speculative - we have proven procurement pipeline. Competitors pay full retail; we pay 1/3rd.

5. Transit Provider Expansion (New Revenue Stream Beyond Hosting)

₹10L IP infrastructure investment positions us to sell transit/bandwidth to other hosting providers (wholesale business). With ASN + multiple /23 blocks, we become upstream provider for smaller hosting companies. 60-80% gross margins, sticky multi-year contracts, completely different market than retail hosting. Moves company valuation from "hosting provider" multiples to "infrastructure provider" multiples.

6. Structural Competitive Moat (ASN + IP Ownership)

Owning ASN and 1,280 IPs is not easily replicable - requires 2-3 years operational history and RIR approvals. Puts us in top 5% of Indian hosting operators. Competitors leasing IPs pay ongoing fees; we don't. With additional IP blocks, moat strengthens further.

7. Exceptional Capital Efficiency (De-Risks Investment)

Budget allocation is strategic: 30% permanent/appreciating assets (hardware + IPs), 24% locked-in rates (ISP contract), 20% growth multiplier (marketing), 26% reserves providing 26-month runway. We've been bootstrapped since day 1 and built ₹75-90L in assets with minimal capital. Example: Chose Rajpura, Punjab facility vs. expensive Noida DCs (40-50% savings). Capital-efficient founders won't waste your ₹1Cr.

8. Clear Path to 4-6x Returns in 24-30 Months

At ₹16-20Cr post-money valuation and projected ₹30-40L revenue (Year 2) including transit business, with 85-93% gross margins. Conservative EBITDA: ₹20-25L. At 4-6x EBITDA acquisition multiples: ₹80-150Cr exit value. Even at 3x EBITDA: ₹60-75Cr (3-4x return to investors). Transit provider status could command infrastructure multiples (6-10x EBITDA) vs. hosting multiples (3-5x).

Exit Strategy

Multiple Exit Paths

Path 1: Strategic Acquisition (18-36 months) - MOST LIKELY

Likely acquirers: Larger Indian hosting providers (BigRock, HostGator India, ResellerClub, Hostinger India), telecommunications companies (Airtel, Jio, Vi), or ISPs looking for infrastructure assets and transit capabilities.

Acquisition thesis for buyers:

  • ₹70-85L+ in owned IP assets (immediate balance sheet value, appreciating)
  • Owned hardware infrastructure across two strategic regions (Mumbai + Rajpura)
  • Established customer base in high-growth gaming segment
  • Transit provider capabilities - ASN + multiple IP blocks enables wholesale bandwidth business
  • Hyperscaler procurement pipeline (ongoing cost advantage vs. competitors)
  • Can immediately offer premium services (direct peering, BGP routing) to their customer base

Valuation multiples:

  • Hosting companies with owned infrastructure: 4-6x EBITDA
  • Infrastructure/transit providers: 6-10x EBITDA (higher multiples due to wholesale business model)
  • Telecom/ISP acquirers may pay premium for network infrastructure and IP assets

As we transition from pure hosting to infrastructure provider with transit capabilities, we command higher multiples in acquisition scenarios.

Path 2: IP Asset Monetization + Liquidation (Downside Protection)

If operating business underperforms, IP infrastructure alone has ₹100-120L market value post-investment (current ₹70-85L + additional /23 blocks). Assets can be sold separately, used as collateral for debt financing, or held as appreciating inventory. Hardware has ₹15-20L salvage value. Total asset floor: ₹115-140L - provides significant downside protection for investors.

Path 3: Sustained Profitability + Dual Revenue Streams (24+ months)

With ₹30-40L annual revenue (hosting + transit business) and 85%+ gross margins, business generates ₹20-25L EBITDA annually. Can distribute ₹10-15L in dividends while retaining capital for organic growth. Transit business creates annuity-like recurring revenue with multi-year contracts.

The Ask

We're Not Asking You to Bet on an Idea

We're asking you to invest in an established infrastructure operator with ₹75-90L in owned assets, proven 80% YoY growth, and a clear path to 3-5x returns.

What You're Actually Investing In:

  • ₹70-85L in owned IP assets: 1,280 IPv4 addresses + clean RIPE ASN (appreciating assets)
  • ₹5-6L in owned hardware: Ryzen 9950x + Dell R630 enterprise servers
  • Proven organic growth: 80% YoY revenue growth with ₹0 marketing
  • Established operations: 2+ years operational history, RIR approvals, customer base
  • Clear scaling plan: ₹20L marketing (2-3x growth multiplier) + ₹30L Mumbai expansion + ₹24L Tier-1 ISP
  • De-risked execution: Multiple value creation paths, conservative projections, asset-backed downside protection

What we need: Capital to accelerate proven growth through marketing while expanding infrastructure to support demand.

That's the investment thesis. Asset-backed. Proven. High-ROI.
