Indian Fuel-Tech Platform Nawgati Partners with Seed Group for UAE Market Entry

Indian fuel-tech platform Nawgati has formed a strategic partnership with Seed Group, an investment company affiliated with The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, to enter the UAE's fuel retail market.

The collaboration aims to deploy Nawgati's digital solutions across petrol stations in Dubai and other emirates, focusing on operational efficiency improvements and congestion reduction at retail outlets.

Seed Group, which facilitates business expansion into the Middle East and North Africa region, will provide Nawgati with market access and regional expertise necessary for establishing operations in the UAE market.

"This partnership marks a significant milestone in Nawgati's journey as we step out of India and into global markets," said Vaibhav Kaushik, Co-founder and CEO of Nawgati. The executive highlighted the company's track record with major Indian energy companies as validation for international expansion.

Hisham Al Gurg, CEO of Seed Group and The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, noted the timing of the partnership aligns with projected growth in the UAE's fuel retail sector through 2030.

Nawgati's technology platform currently serves Indian companies including Indraprastha Gas, Mahanagar Gas, and Torrent Gas, processing real-time data for fleet managers, distributors, and station operators.

The partnership represents Nawgati's first international market entry, positioning the company to leverage solutions developed for India's complex fuel distribution network in regional markets.

Both companies expect the collaboration to establish new operational standards in the UAE's fuel retail sector while supporting Nawgati's broader global expansion strategy.
