Dear DigitalOcean Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am a student from India and I recently tried to sign up for your services. However, I noticed that a credit card is mandatory to get started. Unfortunately, in India, most students, including myself, do not have access to credit cards due to banking restrictions and eligibility criteria.

I genuinely admire the services DigitalOcean offers and would love to explore and learn by using your platform. Therefore, I kindly request you to consider enabling alternative payment methods such as UPI, debit cards, or PayPal for Indian users—especially students—so that we can also benefit from your offerings.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Looking forward to your support.

Warm regards,

Vishal Mourya
