New Delhi. Friendship day 2021.. Well, every day is dedicated to friends. Friendship is the most unique and beautiful relationship in the world.. Today on the occasion of Friendship Day (Friendship day 2021), we are telling you a story of three friends… who used to live together in the same room, worked in the same company and later started a business together and all three became successful entrepreneurs. Today these three are running a Noida based startup and earning together.
We are telling you about three friends living in Noida – Tikendra, Pratik and Sandeep. Their business journey started in the year 2015 when these three went on a trip one day, but on the way the fuel in the car ran out and there was no petrol pump around. Then they felt that if only it was so that we could get fuel whenever and wherever we wanted.. This is where the idea came from and the three started working on it.. Today the annual turnover of this company is more than 100 crores.
This is how the journey started…
Tikendra and Sandeep worked in Noida-based tech company Samsung. Pratik worked in Exicom. Pratik and Tikendra were roommates. One day, all three of them had gone out of Delhi for a trip, when the fuel ran out on the way. They did not find a single fuel station for about 10 km on the way. At that very moment, they decided to do online diesel business and started a company named Pepfuel.com in the year 2015. So let us know what this business is and their story-
Government recognized startup
Pepfuels.com is a government-recognized startup. Pepfuels has a third party agreement with Indian Oil. This is for door-to-door delivery (online diesel delivery). On this app, customers can order online or through messages.

Know how you started your business
Startup founder Tikendra told News18 Hindi that we did a lot of research on this. Went door-to-door and talked to people and took online feedback. In the feedback, every second person said that there should be an online app for petrol and diesel. However, starting the business of online delivery of petrol and diesel is quite risky. Tikendra says that till 2016 there was no permission for petrol delivery in the country. Recently the government has given permission for this. At that time, the only option before us was diesel delivery. We started working on diesel delivery only.

Support from oil companies
Sandeep, another founder of the company, says, ‘We sent our suggestions to oil companies like Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (BPCL), Petroleum Process Engineering Service Co. (PESCO). We also sent our startup idea to PMO. We got a reply from PMO within a few days. On the other hand, Faridabad-based Indian Oil also asked us to submit a detailed project report (DPR) of our business.’ He says, we sent the DPR of our project to Indian Oil. After getting approval, we started our business.
