Our Story

Three decades of building access to technology.

From Digital Waves in 1994 to Prime AssetSource today — the story of simplifying how Indian businesses access enterprise IT, equipment, and operational infrastructure.

The journey of Prime AssetSource began in 1994 with the establishment of Digital Waves by Kaushik Sonawala and Preet Sonawala.

Digital Waves was founded with a vision to provide technology solutions and build long-term relationships in the fast-evolving IT industry. Over the years, the business gained extensive experience in enterprise technology, customer support, and infrastructure solutions, laying a strong foundation for future growth.

As the demand for flexible technology access and asset financing increased, the leasing and rental division evolved into a specialized business vertical. To create a focused platform dedicated to leasing and asset solutions, Prime AssetSource was established in 2001.

What began primarily as an IT leasing company has today grown into a comprehensive asset leasing and rental solutions provider serving startups, enterprises, institutions, and growing businesses across India.

Our mission

Founders

Built by two founders, sustained by the values they shaped.

Kaushik Sonawala

Founder & Visionary

Kaushik Sonawala

Kaushik Sonawala was a visionary entrepreneur whose leadership and passion for technology played a defining role in building both Digital Waves and Prime AssetSource. With deep industry experience and a strong understanding of evolving business needs, he believed organizations should have easier and more flexible access to technology and infrastructure.

This vision became the foundation for building a specialized leasing business that would later evolve into Prime AssetSource. His entrepreneurial spirit, customer-first philosophy, and commitment to building lasting relationships continue to inspire the company and its people every day — his legacy remains deeply embedded in the culture and values of the organization.
