Till four years ago, there was no such thing called a systematic distribution of diesel, and the way Repos created a system with so much passion, we decided to associate with them. The quality of diesel dispensing unit on IoT that Repos has built for Tata vehicles are a great example of how this start-up is headed towards bigger things with their sheer conviction and innovative outlook.”
He further added that with this summit, Repos will develop more and more entrepreneurs. And Tata Motors will also get an opportunity to position Tata products which are known for their highest quality and reliability. With Repos Energy, we plan to cater to the requirement of the energy distribution sector. And this in turn becomes a win-win for the entire community.

Repos provides door-to-door diesel delivery through Repos mobile petrol pumps across over 150 cities in India. Being a startup themselves, they believe that in order to boost the economy of the country and making the dream of a $5 trillion economy a reality, there is a great need to first boost the entire startup ecosystem of India.
Repos Energy has registered over 500 startups, out of which 200 startups have been recognized by the OMCs and attained the licenses. “With the upcoming EOI (Expression of Interest), we are positive to receive around 1,000 more registrations in a span of 30 days. In the coming years, there is going to be a huge demand for such energy startups who will be identified as the new generation success stories. In all, we are expecting around 10,000-12,000 to grab this opportunity. And this upcoming summit will help these startups to get onboarded with the idea and the steps ahead,” shared Chetan Walunj, co-founder, Repos Energy.
“To bring a transformation in the energy distribution sector in India, we as startups need to focus on our strengths and set a benchmark. It is a collective effort that can bring a change.
