Wiom is an Indian telecom and technology startup that aims to deploy high-speed internet via a blockchain-based, distributed "Internet Delivery Model." Founded in 2021, the company says it experienced strong growth during the pandemic as household device usage increased. Its core product is a PM‑WANI compliant, shared-economy platform that enables resellers to offer unlimited internet starting at INR 5 a day. Wiom positions the model as a "People’s Network" that lets users augment earnings by monetizing extra internet capacity. The company plans to use the seed funding to build a scalable tech stack, enhance product offerings, and rapidly scale operations. Leadership has stated an ambition to serve 50 million households in the next five years and to broaden affordable internet access across India. Wiom offers affordable, unlimited internet access via a platform-led distribution model that taps the government’s PM-WANI framework. The company targets middle- and lower-middle-income households and aims to contribute to the country’s 50 million PM-WANI hotspot goal. Founded by Satyam Darmora, Nishit Aggarwal, Ashutosh Mishra, and Maanas Dwivedi, Wiom has grown rapidly in its first 18 months and amassed over 3 lakh users in Delhi alone. The company says it expects to reach more than 15 crore users in the next five years. Wiom plans to expand its footprint to cities across India and invest in high-quality talent and distributed delivery architecture. Financially, the company recently closed a Series A to fund that expansion and product deployment.
