Commenting on this, Shiva Kumar, Fleet Manager of Suraksha Distributors said, “We have been using DATUM for the past 6 months and our experience has been nothing but phenomenal. We’ve eliminated the need for frequent visits to petrol stations for our fleet’s refuelling needs, and the precision in monitoring consumption has been exceptional. The introduction of doorstep diesel delivery and DATUM have transformed our overall diesel operations.”

Repos’ cutting-edge technology is committed to ensuring that businesses and organizations across the state have access to a dependable fuel source. With more than 112 IoT- enabled Repos Mobile Petrol Pumps and 6 DATUMs strategically positioned across the state, Repos stands ready to empower the region’s energy needs with a staggering capacity of delivering 7 lakh litres of diesel daily.

Commenting on this, Aditi Bhosale Walunj, Cofounder of Repos said, “It is our goal to ensure that energy reaches the last needy person easily with the help of the latest technological innovations. The impact of this change on the ground only gives us inspiration to create more value for our partners and for end consumers of energy.”

Mobile Energy Distribution is an innovation that takes retail energy outlets right to the consumers’ doorsteps. The burgeoning demand for efficient, accessible, and reliable fuel supply solutions has spurred Repos to expand its footprint across Karnataka. Repos has garnered the trust of several prestigious customers in Karnataka, including Gopalan Constructions Pvt. Ltd., Supreme Concrete Products, PRN Infra Pvt. Ltd., Suraksha Distributors and Kwality Animal Feeds Pvt. Ltd.

“My factory was located 40 km away from Bangalore and 6 km away from the nearest petrol pump. Every time our employees used to bring diesel in cans and store it, we faced issues, and sometimes work came to a halt due to the unavailability of diesel. I used to visit the factory frequently to oversee the diesel supply. Now, after implementing Datum for our business, I no longer face these problems. By ordering via the application and managing everything through it, I have complete control over my diesel operations. I rarely visit the factory now as I have full control over data and security.”, said H Khan, Owner, of Supreme Concrete Products, Kolar (Bangalore).

A carbon-neutral future is the way ahead for the world but Repos believes that one of the fastest ways to get there is by transforming the energy distribution system and bridging the gap between the demand and supply of energy. These IoT-enabled Repos Petrol Pumps are stationary petrol pumps that are replicated on wheels and DATUM (Data Automated Teller Ultimate Machine) is a one-of-its-kind in-house fuel management solution that provides owners with real-time data on the availability, quality, quantity, and usage of fuel, thereby offering them complete control over their fuel procurement and management.

Dr. Pawan Goenka, Chairman, IN-SPACe said, “As we unveil the decadal vision for Indian Space Economy, we emphasize that the future of the Indian space sector is a shared endeavor. Hence, our strategy fosters an era of collaboration between all stakeholders to accelerate growth. ISRO is opening its doors wider than ever to private sector participation, so that together, we can successfully boost the space economy for a resurgent Aatmnirbhar Bharat.”

At present, the Indian space economy is valued at around $8 billion with a 2% share in the global space economy. India’s space economy has the potential to reach $44 billion by 2033 with about 8% of the global share. The decadal vision addresses creation of demand, local manufacturing capabilities, infrastructure and provides a clear and comprehensive regulatory framework that will encourage and facilitate NGE (non-governmental entities) participation in the growth of the space sector.

“The recent space sector reforms by the Government of India has given a thrust in enabling the private sector to play a significant role in the development of the Indian space ecosystem. The decadal vision defines a roadmap on how the Department of Space along with IN-SPACe and ISRO will drive the emergence of private players. We are already witnessing the early signs of success of this endeavor.”
