Repos Energy - Startup Idea
There was always a fire in Chetan & Aditi. A fire to aid people and change the world for the better. They always wanted to do something big which would bring some perspective to this world.
One day, they saw this persisting and traditional problem of fuel procurement, well, they took it up and decided to change it for the better. Chetan and Aditi noticed that the traditional way of procuring diesel was not only making hassles for the businesses but also created a big menace for the environment.
"Just when one such day we were dealing with continuous calls for diesel requirements from our retail outlet, a notification popped on my screen reading ,”Your order has been delivered” and that was our eureka moment!" - recalls Aditi
Initially, when Chetan and Aditi approached their friends and family, they were claimed to be not thinking straight! Founders being petrol pump owners themselves were quite aware of the inefficiencies that plague the logistics model of the industry. They wanted to eliminate these efficiencies and consequently pass on the value that is generated to the end consumer. Thus, was the born of Repos Energy

For the sales of the Repos Mobile Petrol Pump (RMPP), they studied the geography of the target group i.e., The Retail Petrol Pump Outlet owners. Chetan and Aditi pitched them the new technology, legality and the superior quality of of the product, thereby gaining the trust of the dealers.
For the consumers i.e., who brought diesel from Repos' application, founders pitched them the experience. With the easy, efficient and transparent delivery of the diesel at their doorstep, Repos Energy got some traction quickly.
