Background

LogicBoxes was established as part of the Directi group, which was founded by brothers Bhavin Turakhia and Divyank Turakhia. The group originated in Mumbai and built a portfolio of internet infrastructure businesses, including the ICANN-accredited registrar that later became publicly known as ResellerClub and the consumer-facing registrar BigRock. LogicBoxes was developed to provide the underlying technology platform for these and similar businesses operated by third parties.

Products and services

The company's offerings are aimed at organisations that sell domain names and related web services. They typically include:

  • Storefronts and order management systems for retail domain registrars.
  • Reseller and channel management platforms for wholesale registrars.
  • Backend registry software and consulting for top-level domain (TLD) operators, including support for new generic top-level domains (new gTLDs).
  • Integrations with payment gateways, billing engines and support tools.

Through these products, LogicBoxes positions itself as a turnkey technology provider, allowing customers to launch domain and hosting businesses without building registrar or registry infrastructure from scratch.

Industry role

LogicBoxes is recognised within the domain industry as one of a small set of specialised vendors providing registrar and registry automation. During the expansion of the new gTLD programme administered by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the company offered consulting and backend services to applicants and operators of new top-level domains.

Corporate context

The Directi group, of which LogicBoxes forms a part, has undergone several restructuring events involving its various businesses. Notably, the group's web presence businesses, including its registrar operations, were divested to the United States–based Endurance International Group, while other units within the group continued to operate independently. LogicBoxes has continued to focus on its software and platform business for the domains and hosting sector.

Significance

As an India-headquartered technology provider serving a global customer base of registrars and registries, LogicBoxes is often cited as an example of Indian software companies operating in specialised internet infrastructure niches. Its platforms underpin the retail and wholesale operations of numerous domain businesses worldwide.
