Relocation, be it domestic or corporate, comes with its fair share of hassles. Logistics of movement, arrangement of transportation equipment, ensuring damage-free relocation, and intermediate storage in case of long distance relocation – all these factors need to be meticulously planned and charted out before relocation is commenced. In India, however, a different approach is generally followed. Being the world leaders when it comes to conservation of resources, we try to cut corners by hiring a local pickup truck and just piling stuff on until every square inch is occupied. We save a couple of hundred bucks and pat ourselves on our backs for a job well done – till we notice something missing, broken or damaged beyond repair. The mover does not accept any liability, and you’re left to curse the moment you decided to relocate. This is where major players in the relocation industry come into picture – to bring professionalism and organisation to a sector which remains largely unorganised in India.
