Founders & their story
Vaibhav Kaushik
Aalaap Nair
Aryan Sisodia
When Vaibhav was doing an internship in Noida in 2018–19, he often travelled in taxis and managed to start talks with the drivers. The majority of drivers complained to him that they lose more than half an hour of their day waiting at CNG stations, which cuts into their time on the road and income. So, he thought, why isn’t there a system that sends taxi drivers to a nearby CNG station that has a significantly smaller number of automobiles waiting to fill up? And from there, he got the idea.
Then, three co-founders teamed up in 2019 and founded Nawgati. They started it with a vision to become India’s first fuel aggregator that offers traffic solutions on Indian roads using technology. The startup benefited in its early stages from BITS Pilani’s thriving entrepreneurial environment.
About the company:
Founded in 2019, Nawgati builds congestion management and compliance monitoring systems for fuel stations, helping them manage traffic and avoid congestion. Nawgati is incubated and supported by BITS Pilani’s incubator, the PIED Society, and the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY).
