Exclusive: Digital Ocean is coming to India! Karl Alomar shares vision on making it big

Digital Ocean, which started operations in January 2013 and has grown by leaps and bounds, is coming to India soon!

The virtual machine building startup’s growth curve is noteworthy with over 10 million virtual machines on their product profile.

Sharing his secret of making it big, Karl Alomar, founder of Digital Ocean, told Business Insider, that things take time.

On the sidelines of SURGE in Bengaluru, Alomar said money flows in when you concentrate on your vision.

He said time, technical feasibility, investments and focus on vision are like pillars and you cannot go wrong.

“Things are not going to happen overnight. Understand your market, your research and money will flow in. Then comes money and partners and next is to test the technical feasibility and business feasibility. Test and analyse and then iterate. After many interactions you will hit the pivot point,” said Alomar.

He added that institutional investment should be followed by building a core team and deriving measurable goals.

“Focus on vision, right talent acquisition, focus on culture and leadership will lead to a successful venture,” advised Alomar.

Speaking about the exit, Alomar said, “Build a quality business, the exit will take care of itself.”
