Nawgati UAE Expansion: What the Fuel-Tech Startup Is Building
Nawgati’s UAE expansion is part of a broader plan to take its fuel-station technology platform into international markets. Founded by Vaibhav Kaushik, the Indian startup is building tools for fuel-station operations, with plans covering the UAE, Sri Lanka and global mobility markets.
The company currently has more than 30 lakh users and partnerships with major oil marketing companies. The source reports that Nawgati recently secured $2.5 million in Pre-Series A funding to strengthen its artificial intelligence platform and support future growth plans.
What Nawgati built in India
Nawgati began by helping CNG users find fuel stations and avoid long waiting times. Its technology helps users locate stations and manage queues.
The startup later expanded into tools for fuel retailers. These digital products are designed to help station operators manage daily work, improve operations and provide better customer service.

“We identified a recurring problem in India's fuel retail sector and built Nawgati to solve challenges faced by both users and retailers,” said Vaibhav Kaushik, co-founder and CEO of Nawgati.
Why the UAE expansion matters for the platform
Nawgati is developing an artificial intelligence-based platform for fuel retailers. The platform uses data and automation to support daily operations, improve efficiency and help operators serve customers.
The company’s stated direction is broader than helping drivers find CNG stations. Nawgati plans to build a unified platform connecting users, fuel retailers and mobility services in one system.
What the funding is expected to support
Nawgati says its $2.5 million Pre-Series A funding will help strengthen its artificial intelligence platform and support future growth plans. The source does not identify the investors or provide a breakdown of how the funding will be allocated.
For Nawgati, the next test is whether technology developed for India’s fuel retail environment can be adapted to the operating requirements of international markets.
