had its fair share of challenges and
difficulties. In the face of a dynamic
industry structure and an array of
hurdles, the organization has won the
day with resilience and ingenuity.
From technocrats to entrepreneurs, its
transition is of course like a roller
coaster ride. The major challenge was
and still is getting accepted and
convinced by the bankers.
Even though IBI is a well-established,
‘a recognised startup’ organization by
GOI, an MSME, it faced difficulties in
seeking funding. The organization had
to run pillar-to-post to get funding for
its projects. This pursuit persists
despite the existence of declared
schemes and projects aimed at
supporting startups and micro, small,
and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Straightening the Unforgettable
Twist
A challenge is an unforgettable twist
and along with the funding difficulty,
IBI also hit a snag with the Covid-19
Pandemic just like every single
business in the world. Though this
deadly monster posed unprecedented
challenges to industries globally, IBI
navigated these times with resilience
and adaptability. The organization not
only recognized the importance of
continuity but also swiftly
implemented digital communication
strategies to ensure seamless
operations.
Furthermore, in response to the
limitations imposed by the pandemic,
IBI initiated most of its projects with a
strong reliance on digital
communication. The organization
leveraged online tools and techniques
to bridge the gap between office and
work sites.
Notably, it employed Microsoft
HoloLens technology during this
period that facilitated the virtual
commissioning of projects in both
India and Sri Lanka.
IBI harnessed the power of modern
innovations; it crushed the influence of
the Pandemic. By embracing
innovative technologies, the
organization ensured business
continuity and streamlined its
processes in the face of travel

restrictions and social distancing
measures. This adaptability allowed it
to maintain project timelines, enhance
collaboration and effectively navigate
the challenges imposed by the
pandemic.

Dispensing the crowd of the usual suspects enters
the disruptor. It's easy to overlook the quiet rebels
brewing change in a land of billion-dollar
behemoths. However, nestled amongst the familiar giants,
FuelBuddy, - a young, agile startup - is quietly making
waves in the Indian fuel industry, poised to become a force
reckoned with in 2024.
So, what makes FuelBuddy tick?
It's not just about delivering fuel through a delivery app.
FuelBuddy is reimagining the entire fuelling experience,
one seamless transaction at a time. Here's how:
*Convenience Kingpin: Forget the endless queues at the
petrol pump. FuelBuddy brings fuel directly to your
doorstep. Order through its intuitive app, track your refill in

*Transparency Triumphs: No more opaque pricing or

From its inception, FuelBuddy’s mantra has
been: “Digitising & Democratising Energy
Distribution around the world” and this is
what drives them in their quest to deliver
convenience to the users' doorstep.
*Tech-Fueled Efficiency: Data isn't
just a buzzword for FuelBuddy.
According to Neeraj Gupta, the
CEO of India Business, they
leverage intelligent algorithms to
optimize delivery routes, reduce
fuel waste, and minimize wait
time. Its efficiency is powered by
tech and delivered to your
doorstep.
FuelBuddy
India's Fastest Emerging Fuel-Tech Startup Serving
Diesel at Your Doorstep
Neeraj Gupta,
CEO of India Business
(22) www.ciolookindia.com

India's Emerging Startups, Making Waves in Industry – 2024
The Pioneering Journey of Energy-as-a-Service
The journey of FuelBuddy began in 2016 when - Gautam
Malhotra, Adnan Kidwai, and Divij Talwar identified a gap
in the fuel delivery industry. Neeraj says they observed
several challenges, inconveniences, and inefficiencies in the
traditional fuelling methods, predominantly in larger
corporations, industries, etc. People either had to purchase
fuel in smaller quantities from the local petrol pump, which
was not legal and safe ; or buy large quantities from the
depot. Moreover, the fuel delivery ecosystem had very strict
regulations regarding the quantities delivered. That is, if
someone was to buy fuel from an OMC, they had to
purchase a minimum of 12000 litres of fuel, which hindered
operational cost and inventory capital blockage for
industries. To solve the problem areas such as
inconvenience, pilferage, leakage, theft, monitoring,
storage, etc., whilst keeping technology as the backbone,
the trio set out with a vision of disrupting the industry.
Neeraj shares, “As category creators, we were the first in
the country to provide doorstep fuel delivery service, and
the rest is history. We are now India’s largest, operating
across 180+ cities in Pan-India while creating a mark in
the industry by delivering high-quality services. To date, we
are committed to developing products and services that
solve the customers' problems.”
Fuel to Your Doorstep
FuelBuddy has emerged as India's budding startup. Sharing
the guiding philosophy that has propelled their success,
Neeraj says that the idea was always to come up with
products and services that will disrupt the industry and the
problems in fuel delivery. The acceptance from the industry
and the customers came after some time as they were
unfamiliar with this concept, and the idea of diesel coming
to your doorstep was unfathomable.
“Hence, we did an in-depth research and found the
challenge that persists in the market.” While there was a
growing demand for fuel in India, the supply chain was
ineffective for smaller industries. It is because, in the
traditional supply chain, petrol pumps are not allowed to
sell fuel outside their premises; thus, transporting fuel to
companies in smaller quantities was illegal, unsafe, riddled
with malpractices, and expensive. Additionally, grey market
suppliers operated in this space without any legality, which
caused a safety concern.
Neeraj explains, “Our guiding philosophy isn't just about
fuel delivery; it's about democratizing energy access and
empowering lives. We started by addressing the pain points
of diesel users in India – safety concerns, adulterated fuel,
and inconvenient refuelling. But our vision goes beyond
that. We're building a future where everyone can access
clean, reliable fuel delivered safely and conveniently at
their doorstep. This commitment to simplicity, safety, and
service has fueled our success.”
The Mission of Solving Your Fuel Woes
The team leverages technology to ensure transparency and
accuracy in every transaction, and their robust quality
control measures guarantee unadulterated fuel. But it's the
human touch that truly sets them apart. Their dedicated
team is always there to answer questions, troubleshoot
issues, and ensure a seamless experience for every
customer. FuelBuddy isn't just a business; it's a mission.
“We're disrupting the energy landscape by empowering
businesses, improving lives, and contributing to a cleaner
environment. And that, I believe, is the key to our success
story- a story just getting started,” states Neeraj.
According to him, the pandemic has accelerated
digitalisation, with companies going the extra mile to
provide doorstep delivery of essential commodities. With
this, doorstep fuel delivery service also started gaining
acceptance as customers have begun demanding quality
fuel and lubricants at their doorstep for their personal and
industrial use.
Thus, the doorstep fuel delivery model has grown rapidly
across the country and scaled up even faster in the post-
COVID-19 era. The increased demand is supported by
multiple challenges, such as a lack of quality storage tanks,
improper security systems, inadequate fire safety
arrangements, inefficient route management, and an
increase in incidents of pilferage and adulteration.

The essence of startup lies in innovation, disruptions, and
enhancing the end-user experience. Neeraj insists that
operational efficiency is in their DNA, but it's never at the
cost of customer satisfaction. “We leverage cutting-edge
technology to streamline processes, from fuel station
partnerships and dynamic pricing to doorstep delivery and
real-time order tracking.”
This laser focus on efficiency translates to convenience and
savings for the customers, who can now refuel at the touch
of a button, skip the queues, and enjoy competitive prices.
But it's not all about technification. The team prioritizes
human connection, building a loyal community through its
rewards program, gamified features, and prompt customer
support. They actively gather feedback, constantly iterating
and innovating to ensure FuelBuddy remains efficient and
delightful to use. “So, the next time you see our orange
tankers zipping around, remember, it's not just fuel we're
delivering; it's a revolution in convenience and customer-
centricity, one refuel at a time.”
Techno-Fuelling Teamwork
Neeraj further accepts that digitalization and technological
advancements are crucial aspects of the modern startup
ecosystem. FuelBuddy recognizes this and has integrated
these principles into its core functioning in several ways.
For example, the company leverages data analytics to
optimize fuel delivery routes, reducing emissions and fuel
consumption.
FuelBuddy's mobile app also allows customers to easily
order fuel and track deliveries, providing a convenient and
efficient experience. By embracing digitalization and
technological advancements, FuelBuddy is contributing to a
more sustainable future and making the fuel delivery
process more efficient and convenient for its customers.
The workforce is the cornerstone of any successful
organization. To foster a culture of growth, skill
development, and empowerment among their employees,
Neeraj says at FuelBuddy, “Our team isn't just fuelling your
machines, but they're the engine driving our growth. We
encourage an intrapreneurial culture, empowering
everyone to innovate and own their ideas.
We have a trust-based environment that encourages
employees to experiment, take risks, and be accountable.”
This unlocks hidden talent, boosts engagement, and sparks
agility, resulting in fresh solutions, happier employees, and
a company ready to adapt and race ahead.
“Additionally, there are a few things that we saw were
important while delivering fuel safely, such as keeping a
regular check on tanks, fuel pipes and caps, equipment
calibration, and safety equipment used for delivering the
fuel.”
A Revolution Empowering Your Dreams
Currently, the products offered by FuelBuddy are as
follows:
*Diesel On Tap (DoT) and Smart Tanks- Custom fuel
storage, monitoring and dispensing solution designed for
industry and fleet owners. They can use the FuelBuddy DoT
solutions as a replacement for fuel stations. DoT offers all

the driving factor behind the company’s success. Shedding
light on their approach to leadership and team building
within the organization, he says that FuelBuddy's journey
wouldn't be where it is today without an incredible team,
and fostering that team through an empowering and
collaborative leadership style has been his core focus. “At
FuelBuddy, we don't believe in hierarchies. Instead, we
cultivate a culture of open communication where every
voice is heard and valued.”
A Blooming Leadership of Lotus
Neeraj sees himself as a facilitator, guiding the vision but
trusting his talented team to run with their ideas. “We
encourage healthy debate, experimentation, and a
willingness to fail fast and learn from it.” This fosters an
environment of ownership and innovation where everyone
feels responsible for FuelBuddy's success. Neeraj adds that
they celebrate small wins together and bigger ones even
more, knowing that each achievement is a product of
collective effort. “It's a journey we take as a team, and
that's the true fuel driving our passion and growth.”

Erasing Challenges
According to Neeraj, FuelBuddy's journey hasn't been all
smooth roads. Initially, navigating India's complex and
evolving regulations for doorstep fuel delivery was a major
hurdle. Yet, the team's resilience shone through. He
informs, “We faced some initial challenges, but our vision
was always very clear. So, we proactively engaged with
authorities, demonstrating our technology and our team's
safety and efficiency. And building strong partnerships,
FuelBuddy secured the legal green light, paving the way for
a thriving new industry.” This triumph of collaboration and
agility cemented FuelBuddy's position as a frontrunner in
transforming India's energy landscape.
Startups allow the Indian industry to grow its young
entrepreneurial potential and capacity. Neeraj, too, believes,
“As the CEO of FuelBuddy, a company that's
revolutionizing the way India refuels, I see the startup scene
as a launchpad for India's young minds to take on the
world. My advice to aspiring entrepreneurs:” Hone your
problem-solving skills – India's brimming with challenges,
and the solutions often lie in the simplest innovations. Don't
be afraid to think big, but stay grounded in the realities of
the Indian market.
An Energetic Wisdom
FuelBuddy started by addressing a basic need – making
refuelling convenient and transparent. “We leveraged
technology to create a platform that empowers consumers
and fuel station owners.”
Remember, every successful startup begins with a deep
understanding of the customer and a relentless focus on
adding value. So, validate your ideas, build a strong team,
and be prepared to iterate constantly. The Indian startup
ecosystem is buzzing with support, from incubators and
investors to a growing community of mentors. Appreciate
the collaborative spirit, and don't hesitate to ask for help.
With the right mix of passion, perseverance, and a dash of
jugaad, you, too, can turn your dream into a thriving
startup, propelling India's entrepreneurial journey forward.
Let’s Push India on the Sustainable Energy Drive
Looking to the future, FuelBuddy's vision of transitioning
to an energy-as-a-service company is a strategic response to
the evolving energy landscape, both in India and globally.
The energy sector has significantly transformed recently,
with an increasing focus on sustainability and innovation.
This transformation has created new opportunities and
challenges that FuelBuddy aims to address.
Multiple reasons have fueled the company’s growth. “From
strategic decisions, pivots, and technology implementation,
we have taken several steps to capture the market
opportunity and drive sustainable growth,” reveals Neeraj.
First and foremost, they are addressing a big challenge
uniquely. They have streamlined diesel procurement and
delivery and brought in cutting-edge technology, including
mobile apps and data analytics, to operations and improve
customer experience. “Our pivot to energy as an Energy-as-
a-service has reaped great results. Our expansion strategy
to launch services in UAE and Mozambique has also
yielded significant results. Today, we are present in
multiple cities across India, including tier-2 cities.” The
strategic partnerships with major oil companies such as
Indian Oil Corporation and Hindustan Petroleum
Corporation Limited, along with diversification into
lubricant delivery, have expanded the range of services
offered to customers, contributing to revenue growth.
FuelBuddy is more than just another startup; it's a game-
changer. In a fuel landscape cluttered with established
players, they're bringing convenience, transparency, and
smart tech to the party, all while building a loyal
community on the go.
Mark your calendars. 2024 is shaping up to be
FuelBuddy's year. As they expand their reach, partner with
key players, and innovate relentlessly, watch them disrupt
the industry, redefine the fuel experience, and become a
household name in India.

hose Indian startups that understand business
Tsustainability to create a better future are the most
successful. That is why Mulyo, , as a
www.mulyo.in
sustainable, eco-friendly, and futuristic children’s wear
brand, is one of India’s emerging startups making waves in
the industry.
“Our journey as a sustainable kidswear startup began with
a passion for positively impacting the environment and
creating a better future for the next generation. As a fashion
entrepreneur, I was increasingly aware of the environmental
issues associated with the fashion industry and its impact
on our planet,” says the Founder and CEO, Shambhavi
Jaiswal.
Redeﬁning the Kidswear Industry by Inspiring Ethical
and Sustainable Fashion
Shambhavi adds that, motivated by a desire to contribute to
a more sustainable and ethical way of living, she saw an
opportunity to address the lack of eco-friendly options in
the kidswear market. Children's clothing is often outgrown
quickly, leading to signiﬁcant waste. Additionally, the
conventional production methods and materials used in the
industry contributed to environmental degradation.
We Live by Our Values
“The journey involved extensive research into sustainable
fabrics, responsible production practices, and building
partnerships with suppliers who shared our commitment to
environmental and social responsibility.” It wasn't just

Mulyo’s vision goes beyond just
selling clothing; it's about crea ng a
movement towards conscious
consumerism, where parents
globally choose sustainable op ons

recognize the importance of
balancing profit with purpose.
India's Emerging Startups, Making Waves in Industry-2024

Co-founder Shivay Jaiswal adds, “Our journey is an
ongoing commitment to innovation, education, and
continuous improvement as we strive to redefine the
kidswear market and inspire a shift towards sustainable
practices in the fashion industry.”
Mulyo has emerged as India’s budding startup. Shambhavi
says their success can be attributed to a guiding philosophy
centred around these few core principles:
*Ethical and Sustainable Practices:
“Our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices is at
the heart of everything we do. We prioritize environmentally
friendly materials, eco-conscious manufacturing processes,
and fair labour practices. By using organic fabrics,
reducing waste, and ensuring transparency in our supply

seamlessly integrates style with comfort and functionality,”
says Shambhavi, adding that one key element of their
success is their commitment to social responsibility,
particularly through their association with Sewa Bharti
NGO.
“By collaborating with this organization, we have created a
meaningful impact by providing employment opportunities
to women. We have established a symbiotic relationship
where our brand benefits from skilled artisans, and these
women, in turn, gain meaningful employment and economic
empowerment,” says Shivay.
Their success results from marrying business goals with a
genuine commitment to social and environmental responsi-
bility. “We believe that we are not just building a successful
business but contributing to a more compassionate and
sustainable world for the future,” adds Shambhavi.
Sustainability is Our Distinction
The startup landscape is continually evolving. A sustainable
brand like Mulyo can differentiate itself from other organic
clothing brands in a market where sustainability is a key
focus. You know what, setting your brand apart involves a
combination of strategies and unique qualities. “Where we
have focused on some points for Mulyo,” says Shivay.
~Transparency and Traceability:
Emphasizing transparency in the supply chain. Providing
customers with detailed information about where materials
are sourced, how products are manufactured, and the
working conditions of staff/labourers. Traceability can build
trust and show your commitment to ethical practices, and
we think every brand believes.

So now, they are also planning to implement circular
fashion practices, such as offering repair services, recycling
programs, or take-back schemes for old garments. These
initiatives demonstrate a commitment to reducing waste and
extending the lifespan of clothing.

by sharing our sustainability goals and progress is another
target. We are doing our best to keep our customers
informed about our efforts to reduce the environmental
footprint,” claims Shambhavi.
The differentiation in the sustainable fashion market is not
only about the products themselves but also the values,
practices, and stories behind the brand. Consistency in

to making a positive impact are key to standing out in this
competitive landscape. It is what Mulyo is marching

together.”

Shambhavi, Shivay, and their team focus mainly on local
and fair production. Everything is in-house in Mulyo, and
they are also associated with NGOs. “We believe in fair
wages and working conditions we provide to workers. We
are strict with our employers' needs. You know, happy
employee, happy boss kind of thing.”
~Certifications:
“We think sometimes certifications can speak out about
your brand's authenticity. Yes, we are certified by (GOTS,
DPIIT AND MSME Certified).” These certifications provide
credibility and assurance to customers that this brand
adheres to strict sustainability standards.
~Community Engagement:
Mulyo engages with the community and customers through
charity partnerships, environmental awareness campaigns,
and educational events. It is actively involved in making a
positive impact beyond just selling clothing.
~Unique Design Aesthetics:
Shambhavi and Shivay are big fans of Japanese aesthetics
and Manga art. It led them to create distinctive and
appealing designs that align with their brand's sustainability
values. Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing style; it can
be a unique selling point.

ers/people about their clothing choices' environmental and

information about sustainable fashion choices and their
benefits,” says Shambhavi.

started, and it's a long run. We tell why our brand is
passionate about sustainability and how it aligns with our

inclusion as a women-led organisation. She actively
promotes the advancement of women within their industry.

but also supports the career growth and success of every
team member. Her leadership style is centred around a
strong sense of purpose, collaboration, and a commitment
to making a positive impact through sustainable practices in
the kidswear industry.
Customer-Centric Wisdom
Startups allow the Indian industry to grow its young
entrepreneurial potential and capacity. Shambhavi firmly
believes in ‘fall seven times, stand up at eight.’ This
embodies the resilience and determination required in the
challenging and dynamic world of startups. “I see startups
as a crucial avenue for unleashing India's young entrepre-
neurial potential and boosting its industrial capacity.”
To fellow budding entrepreneurs venturing into the startup
space, Shambhavi’s advice would be to embrace Failure as
a Learning Opportunity, Build a Strong Support Network,
and surround yourself with mentors, advisors, and a
supportive network of fellow entrepreneurs. Learning from
the experiences of others and seeking guidance can provide
valuable insight.
Adaptability is the key; the business landscape is dynamic,
and successful entrepreneurs can adapt to change. Be open
to pivoting your business model based on market feedback
and emerging trends. Invest in Continuous Learning. Stay
curious and committed to continuous learning. The startup
ecosystem constantly evolves, and staying informed about
industry trends, technological advancements, and market
dynamics is essential.
Keep the Customer at the Centre, understand your target
audience, and prioritize customer feedback. Regularly
interact with your customers to identify their needs,
preferences, and pain points.
The startup space in India holds immense potential, and
budding entrepreneurs must approach challenges with a
resilient mindset, a clear sense of purpose, and a commit-
ment to continuous learning and innovation. The journey
may be challenging, but each setback allows one to stand
up stronger and move closer to success.
Environmentally Conscious Future Approach
Shambhavi and Shivay’s vision for Mulyo extends beyond
just creating stylish and eco-friendly clothing for children.
“We envision our brand becoming a global leader in
sustainable fashion for kids, setting new standards for
ethical and environmentally conscious practices in the
industry,” says Shivay.
To achieve international recognition, they are committed to
providing high-quality, comfortable, and aesthetically
pleasing clothing and fostering a strong brand identity
centred around sustainability and social responsibility. “Our
goal is to be a household name, known for our commitment
to the well-being of children and the planet,” says
Shambhavi.
Ultimately, their vision goes beyond just selling clothing;
it's about creating a movement towards conscious
consumerism, where parents globally choose sustainable
options for their children, and businesses recognize the
importance of balancing profit with purpose. “Through
our international success and influence, we aim to be a
catalyst for positive change in the global fashion industry
and a source of pride for India's startup landscape,” she
concludes.
