OUR STORY
A Dream That Chose Courage Over Certainty.
Data Confiance began in 2009 with no large pool of capital, no inherited business network and no promise of an easy journey. It began with one young professional from Indore who believed that technology businesses could be built differently—with technical integrity, personal accountability and trust at the centre of every relationship.
From a young engineer’s uncertain first step to a trusted technology integration company.

THE BEGINNING
Between a Secure Career and an Uncertain Dream
Subodh Jamindar grew up in Indore in a salaried family where stability was not merely preferred—it was respected, protected and expected.
Like many ambitious young people from a tier-two city, his journey began with education. He completed his Bachelor of Engineering and later an MBA, preparing himself for a dependable professional career. He entered the IT infrastructure industry, learned how projects were sold and executed, and began building an understanding of customers, technologies and business relationships.
Professionally, life was moving in the right direction. Yet something remained unsettled. He wanted to create something of his own—not simply to carry the title of an entrepreneur, but to build a company whose reputation would be created through its work.
Should he protect the security his family understood, or risk it for a future no one could guarantee?
He did not begin because the road was clear.
He began because the dream would not allow him to remain where he was.
THE DECISION
2009 — Starting With Belief, Not Capital
In 2009, Subodh made the decision to move from professional certainty to entrepreneurial uncertainty and established Data Confiance in New Delhi.
Resourcefulness Over Restraint
The timing was not easy. India’s startup ecosystem was very different from what it is today. Early-stage capital was difficult to access, particularly for a service-led technology company without inherited assets or established financial backing.
There were no comfortable funding rounds to absorb mistakes. Working capital had to be protected carefully. Vendor payments, employee salaries, travel, demonstrations and project execution often had to be managed before customer payments were received.
When financial capital was limited, trust became the company’s first real currency.

EARLY CHALLENGES
Building Credibility One Project at a Time
The first few years were not defined by scale. They were defined by survival, learning and consistency.
01
Site Survey & Planning
Assessing physical & logical constraints before laying a single meter of cable.
02
Structured Cabling
Disciplined copper and fibre installation adhering to strict standard guidelines.
03
Fluke Testing Validation
Validating decibel loss, crosstalk and throughput performance for every link.
04
As-Built Handover
Delivering complete rack elevations, port maps and warranty documentation.
OUR FIRST DEFINING ALLIANCE
The R&M Chapter — When Ambition Found the Right Standard
As Data Confiance began working on more demanding structured-cabling projects, Subodh understood that growth could not depend on effort alone. The company needed technology partners whose engineering philosophy strengthened its own delivery commitments.
Design With the Future in Mind
Infrastructure should not only satisfy present requirements; it must remain reliable as bandwidth and business needs evolve.
Install With Measurable Discipline
Quality could not depend on visual inspection alone. Testing, certification and standards adherence became core to our culture.
Stand Behind the Outcome
Customers were trusting Data Confiance with the physical foundation of their digital operations—and we backed every cable.
Connected by standards. Strengthened by trust.
BUILDING THE TEAM
A Company Begins With One Person. It Grows When Others Believe.
Entrepreneurship may begin as a personal decision, but an organisation can only be built when other people choose to make the dream their own.

THE TRANSFORMATION
2017 — From Networking to Diversified System Integrator
By 2017, customers were no longer looking at cabling, networking, security, servers and data centres as isolated requirements.
They needed partners capable of seeing the complete environment—understanding how infrastructure, connectivity, protection and business operations worked together.
Data Confiance chose transformation, repositioning itself as a diversified system integrator capable of taking responsibility for complex environments.
A NEW TECHNICAL CHAPTER
Mr. Himanshu Upadhyay & The Move Into Data Centres
A major part of this transformation was the association with Mr. Himanshu Upadhyay, who joined the organisation as Chief Technical Officer (CTO–Technical Services).
His arrival added deep architectural leadership, expanding Data Confiance into turnkey data-centre solutions where redundancy, standards, power, cooling and availability must work together with extraordinary precision.
Connectivity → Infrastructure → Data Centre → Integrated Technology
GROWING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS
From One Alliance to a Complete Technology Ecosystem
Every new capability required the right technology relationship to ensure complete architectural resilience.
Building the Physical Foundation
R&M · Panduit · Molex · CommScope
The journey began by learning how to build the network beneath the network—cabling, fiber, racks and physical pathways.
Making the Foundation Intelligent
Cisco · Cisco Meraki · Aruba · Ruckus
The physical foundation was no longer enough. It had to become connected, manageable and intelligent across LAN, WAN and Wireless.
Protecting Every Connection
Palo Alto Networks · Cisco · Fortinet · Sophos
Every new connection created opportunity—but also responsibility. Next-gen firewalls and threat response became essential.
Protecting What the Network Carries
Zscaler · Red Hat · Specialised DLP
The objective was no longer only to protect infrastructure. It was to protect trust itself through zero-trust access and DLP.
Preparing for the Unexpected
Acronis · Druva · Disaster Recovery
Resilience became as important as performance. Ensuring rapid recovery whenever unforeseen disruption occurs.
PROJECTS THAT BUILT THE COMPANY
Every Customer Added More Than Revenue
For Data Confiance, growth was not simply the accumulation of purchase orders. Every project added a lesson.
Zero-Downtime Plant Upgrades
Learned how production environments demand zero-interruption network execution.
Seamless Relocations
Demonstrated how complex IT infrastructure moves without disrupting business continuity.
Tier-Standard Buildouts
Strengthened the vital importance of strict standards, documentation and testing.
Multi-Location Governance
Revealed how supply chain and local field engineering must execute together seamlessly.
Projects gave us capability. Customers gave us credibility. Relationships gave us continuity.
FOUNDER'S REFLECTION
“When I began Data Confiance, I did not have a large financial foundation or an established business legacy. What I had was industry experience, the willingness to work and a belief that trust could become our greatest differentiator.
The journey has tested us many times, but every challenge has also introduced us to people who made us stronger—our colleagues, customers, technology partners and well-wishers.
What began as my personal aspiration is no longer my story alone. It belongs to every person who has helped build Data Confiance.”
