About
Technology for good
Our mission is to be a reliable and trusted partner of publishers, retailers, schools and institutions, for delivering trusted digital rights management services.
Who we are
Digital Media Reserve is an imprint and product of DMI Systems Private Limited, and a division of Digital Media Initiatives.
Digital Media Initiatives is a small and good-tech project from India. For the last two decades we have worked in the domains of traditional print publishing, digital publishing and accessible publishing. Recently we have ventured into education technology and supporting social projects.
We build businesses that leverage technology and apply commercial strategies to social challenges: inequality, poverty, environmental degradation, and inadequate access to education. That sounds distant from a licence server until you notice who cannot get a book — and that the answer is usually a format, a right or a price, not a shortage of writing.
The team is small, with expertise across technology, design, teaching, marketing, finance and management, and long technical experience in accessible formats — NIMAS, DAISY, digital talking books and Braille — and in digital instructional materials.

Our philosophy
Rights management is access management
A publisher who cannot protect a file will not release it. A student who cannot open a format does not get the book. Most of what looks like a rights problem is an access problem wearing a different hat, and we work on both ends of it.
Trusted
Publishers give us the master file. That only works if the operator is boring, careful and still there next year.
Interoperable
Open, industry-standard formats. Publishers stay free to set and pursue their own business models, and to leave.
Accessible
Accessibility is a production decision, not a remediation project. The group has been doing NIMAS and DAISY work for as long as it has done DRM.
Where we are
DMI Systems Private Limited operates from India, with teams in Aligarh, Puducherry and Madanapalle, and serves publishers and retailers internationally.
Digital Media Reserve is operated as a cloud-based infrastructure delivering digital rights management as a service, with technology provided by dmi.Systems.
