Imagine opening a bank account at a petrol pump in flat three minutes. This has now been made possible after IOCL partnered with Vakrangee to open Vakrangee Kendras at its 25,000 petrol pump stations across the nation. With this alliance, the petrol pumps of IOCL have turned into the world's largest e-malls, offering assisted online shopping for over 35 million goods being offered at such Kendras. Citizens can also get their Aadhaar enrolment and updations at these outlets. Apart from this, Vakrangee Kendra has a wide range of insurance products to offer from life and non-life products.
With more than 1,000 services to offer, citizens can also book a two-wheeler from Mahindra and Mahindra, pay utility bills, get courier services and get mobile and DTH recharges done.
In its true sense, the brand tagline - 'Ab Sab Kuch Aasan' of Vakrangee Kendra signifies fulfilling of the objective of financial inclusion, providing Digital India services, social inclusion, employment generation and skill development.
The strategic alliance between IOCL and Vakrangee Ltd to offer non-fuel services at its petrol retailing outlets is expected to be a win-win proposition for both. The alliance will significantly increase customer offerings at IOCL's outlets by adding Vakrangee at these outlets.
The official launch was embarked at its first Kendra at Mumbai, in presence of Executive Director, IOCL Retail Sales - Mr. D.K. Sharma; Executive Director IOCL Maharashtra State - Mr. M. Srinivasan; and Managing Director and CEO, Vakrangee Ltd - Mr. Dinesh Nandwana.
