Indore, India — For decades, ordering a gas cylinder in India has meant waiting — sometimes for days — and hoping it arrives when needed. In an era where food, medicine, and groceries can reach your doorstep in under an hour, one question lingered: Why not gas?

This is the question that led to the birth of QwiqGas, a hyperlocal startup founded by Husain Kanchwala (Founder & CEO) and Qutub Raj (Co-Founder & Head of Operations). The duo combines over a decade of expertise — Husain’s background in e-commerce and logistics, and Qutub’s deep experience in gas agency operations — to tackle one of the most overlooked but essential services in India.

From Frustration to InnovationThe idea for QwiqGas sparked when Husain personally faced a 2-day wait for a gas refill, with no emergency support available. For a country where LPG powers millions of kitchens, this gap in accessibility was more than an inconvenience — it was a problem affecting households, small businesses, and even restaurants.

Recognizing the urgency, the founders partnered with local private gas agencies, built a robust operations model, and launched India’s first dedicated 60-minute gas delivery service in Indore. The goal: make ordering cooking gas as easy, fast, and reliable as ordering a pizza.

What QwiqGas Offers

  • 60-Minute Gas Cylinder Delivery for homes and businesses

  • Emergency Refill Service for urgent needs

  • Real-Time Order Tracking through mobile app and WhatsApp

  • Partnership Model that empowers private gas agencies

  • Flexible Payments — both cash and cashless options

Coming soon, QwiqGas plans to roll out subscription-based refill plans for hassle-free monthly deliveries, along with stove servicing and sales of kitchen accessories.

More Than Just DeliveryQwiqGas is not just about speed — it’s about transparency, safety, and convenience. Customers can track orders in real time, know exactly when their cylinder will arrive, and avoid the frustration of repeated follow-up calls. The startup also empowers local gas suppliers by giving them access to modern technology, efficient logistics, and expanded customer reach.

A Vision for the FutureCurrently operating in Indore, QwiqGas plans to expand to other cities in the coming months. The vision is bold — to become the go-to platform for essential kitchen fuel delivery in India, eliminating delays and making LPG as accessible as everyday essentials.

“Our mission is simple,” says Husain Kanchwala. “Cooking gas should never be a waiting game. With QwiqGas, it’s about reliability, speed, and peace of mind.”
