New Delhi – India’s fuel-tech and mobility infrastructure platform Nawgati has crossed 3.5 million users, easing fuel station congestion for drivers across the country. Fuel station queues remain a daily reality across India, where drivers can spend close to an hour waiting during peak hours. For commercial drivers who depend on time on the road for their income, this translates directly into lost earnings. The problem is compounded by a lack of real-time visibility; drivers often have no way of knowing which stations are congested, running low on fuel, or best avoided until they arrive. Nawgati was built to close this information gap, using data and technology to make fuel retail more predictable for the people who rely on it most.
The Nawgati Fuelling App gives users live visibility into station-level queues, fuel availability, and pricing, information that has historically been scattered or unavailable at the point of need. The app was Nawgati’s original product, born out of founder and CEO Vaibhav Kaushik’s own observation of CNG cab drivers losing up to an hour a day, nearly 10 percent of their working time, waiting in fuel lines.
Speaking on this, Vaibhav Kaushik, Co-founder and CEO, Nawgati, said, “This number means more to me than a userbase count. Nawgati started because I watched cab drivers lose nearly an hour a day standing in line, time that came straight out of their earning hours. 3.5 million users of Nawgati tell us that problem was never unique to a handful of drivers I spoke to in Noida; it’s a daily reality for millions across India. Every driver who opens this app before heading to a station is choosing to trust us with a decision that affects their livelihood. That trust is what we’re building on as we take this model beyond India.”
Since its founding in 2019 by Vaibhav Kaushik, Aalaap Nair, and Aryan Sisodia, Nawgati has grown from a consumer information layer into a full-stack fuel retail data company, working to reduce congestion and improve fuel availability for drivers across India.
