FuelBuddy plans for an aggressive expansion in India, the overseas markets in the MENA region, and South East Asia, the company said in a press release.
The startup will also use the raised capital to increase its geographical presence in the country, enhance the technology used, and expand its services to alternative energies such as EVs and gas.
