Chawla Digital, specializing in Supply, Installation, Testing, and Commissioning (SITC), has been supporting government sectors in Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh since 2009. Originally established in 1980 by the late Shri Madan Chawla as Chawla Stationery Mart, the company initially provided print and stationery products to government offices.

In 2000, Aakash Chawla, a second-generation entrepreneur with expertise in IT, joined the business and expanded its services. The company was rebranded as Chawla Digital Private Limited. With a workforce of 40 employees, Chawla Digital recorded a revenue of Rs 80 crore in the fiscal year 2023-24, focusing primarily on government projects.

Chawla Digital operates from its headquarters in Chandigarh, with additional offices in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.

Chawla continued, "Iris has proven to be an excellent distributor, supported by a team that deeply understands the needs of Systems Integrators like us. They assist in every possible way, managing distribution, delivery, storage, warehousing, and logistics seamlessly. Their comprehensive support has been invaluable to our operations."

Chawla Digital is pursuing business leads worth over Rs 200 crore and expects to achieve over Rs 125 crore in the coming financial year. "We are looking forward to Iris adding more products to their portfolio, such as Poly video conferencing solutions, Microsoft software products, and a broader variety of printers. We also have requirements in CCTV surveillance, WiFi, and communication solutions and are looking forward to Iris's support in these areas," Chawla added.
