Noida-headquartered fuel-tech startup Nawgati has been selected among the top 10 finalists from over 11,000 applicants for the UAE-India Startup Series 2.0, organised by the UAE-India CEPA Council. The selection qualifies the company to present at the Final Pitch Event in Bengaluru on 17 and 18 November 2026.

Founded in 2019 by Vaibhav Kaushik, Aalaap Nair and Aryan Sisodia, Nawgati operates an artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) platform for fuel retail and gas companies, dealers and government agencies.

Its on-site controllers connect fuel dispensers, cameras and billing systems to detect safety risks, procedure breaches and non-compliant vehicles, enabling operators to intervene in operations across stations in India.

Vaibhav Kaushik, Co-Founder and CEO, Nawgati, said, “We are honoured to be selected among the top 10 from over 11,000 applicants for the UAE-India Startup Series 2.0, and we thank the UAE-India CEPA Council for this recognition. We have built Nawgati for the person in the driver’s seat. When a station runs smoothly, drivers spend less time stuck in queues, find fuel more reliably, and get clear, real-time information before they even reach the pump. Seeing that difference across India is what motivates us most. We look forward to taking this experience to more drivers and more stations.”

Chennai-headquartered electric two-wheeler manufacturer Raptee.HV has opened a new three-storey Experience Centre on Old Mahabalipuram Road in Chennai.

The facility was virtually inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, C. Joseph Vijay, marking an expansion of the electric motorcycle manufacturer's retail network in its home market.

The facility replaces the company's previous factory outlet, providing space for customers to view the electric motorcycle, inspect its 240-volt high-voltage architecture, engage with technical staff and conduct test rides.

Raptee.HV's operations are supported by an INR 250 million investment from the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO). Following initial retail footprint additions in Bengaluru and Chennai, the company plans to expand to Coimbatore, Kochi, and Hyderabad, while evaluating export opportunities in Sri Lanka, Brazil and Turkey.

"Chennai is where our journey began, and bringing Raptee.HV closer to our customers here is special to us. We have always believed that listening to our customers is as important as engineering the motorcycle itself. We are proud to be the No. 1 electric motorcycle manufacturer in Chennai, our home market, and look forward to building on this leadership. Our new flagship store is an important step in that direction, allowing us to strengthen our connection with customers while offering them the premium experience they deserve. We hope to continue growing alongside the city that has been at the heart of our journey," said Dinesh Arjun, CEO and Co-Founder, Raptee.HV.
