Now, we have raised our bars to such heights, which has made us acceptable among many people and that has furthermore contributed in making us the Largest Mover of Household Goods in India, which has also been recognized by the Limca Book of Records.

Late 1980s- The Beginning

The footprints of Agarwal Packers and Movers Ltd. can be traced way back to 1987. It was the year, when Shri Ramesh Agarwal decided to follow his business instincts and was equally shouldered by his younger brother – Shri Rajender Agarwal – at all the steps that he took. Shri Ramesh Ji, motivated by his disciplines and principles, and Shri Rajender Ji, absorbed into simplicity and overwhelmed with his down-to-earth nature, made a perfect duo for starting a successful venture from scratch. Shri Ramesh Ji served the country as an Airman in the Indian Air Force (IAF) and subsequently, just after this phase ended, a senior person in the Air Force entrusted with the task of moving the army’s goods from Dundigal to Balasor, Orissa to him after getting impressed by the strength of his character. It was not easy to tackle the assignment, but he tackled it with great enthusiasm and using the very basic materials for moving, like straw.

It was the appreciation that he got for perfectly executing the very first task of moving that energized him to dive into packing & moving all together, with fervor. Once the decisions were made and the mind was set, Ramesh Ji never looked back even when all he had by his side was- his indomitable spirit and a knack for doing business.

Hence, the company’s initial phase commenced as “Agarwal Household Carrier”, with meager funds and founded its first office at Hyderabad. Such were the humble beginnings of the company that transformed itself from zero into an empire of crores within a short span.

Early 1990s

Early 1990s- Establishing Firm Footing

This was the phase when the company focused primarily on expanding its customer's’s base and clientele. This phase helped us to extract lots of knowledge about the real functioning of the moving sector, and strengthened our services even more by letting us encounter the everyday moving problems faced by our customers. We, as a company, soon gained the upper hand in household movement and focused on building a strong team of packers and movers during this period, so as to serve the customers in the best possible way.

Since the very inception, Ramesh Ji knew that it is through his team of packers & movers he was supposed to act and serve the customers. So, he focused on building a trained and educated workforce, who is being taught all aspects of foolproof and sustainable packing and moving, i.e., the virtuous behavior.

It was also the period when Ramesh Ji came up with “ the Gagar Mein Sagar” book, where he accumulated all the inspiring thoughts of great personalities, which really enthralled the ones who’d used to read it. He and his team were distributing the book to whomsoever they met or served, on purpose or without any. People appreciated the words and thoughts that formed the matter of the book, and that’s how Ramesh Ji’s personality influenced everyone and captured people’s attention.

Also, Ramesh Ji has been kind and considerate of the truck drivers and has been working to make their lives better in all aspects. The grave conditions of these running soldiers of our country have been concerning him since he started interacting with them and understanding the reason behind the declining numbers of truck drivers. He is the one, who stepped forward without any further ado to insure the precious lives of the truck drivers, and thence, setting an example for other people to follow his golden footsteps. From year one, the company has been observing Darbar Day on every 4th of each month, throughout the year, wherein a session is being planned for the founder of our company to come in contact with the company’s drivers, handlers, packers and assistant drivers to know the real problems that are being faced while executing their services, and then giving reasonable solutions on the spot.

Late 1990s- Breakthrough

The late 1990s saw a turning point in our journey when we introduced “Special Carriers” for the first time ever in the country. This exclusive and out-of-the-box concept brought us name and fame instantaneously, as it was satisfying the demands of most of our customers, whose dire need of the hour was holding their goods at a safe place for a period till they locate their houses at the new destination and thus, saving themselves from making multiple trips from their dwelling place to the destination or the other way. The Agarwals, by now, were, indeed, synonymous with tension-free shifting. It was like our years of hard work started to get its due recognition and since then, we never looked back.

Early 2000s

Early 2000s- Expansion

Seeing our wide acceptance by the Indian masses, our company, during this period, focused on performing expansion. We came out of our dens, and slowly and gradually spread out to cover the entire country. It was not that we were in a hurry to capture each location, but we were patiently ensconcing ourselves state by state. Such was our strategy! Moreover, we were constantly drawing appreciation from the public sector and from the VVIPs whom we were moving interstate or intrastate. Till the 1990s, we had 60 offices, but by this time, we focused on expanding our network and initiated plans for coming up with 80 offices.

Mid 2000s- Innovation

We fortified our Research and Development department, as this was the time when India witnessed Globalization’s real effects. Innovation was the technique that we adopted to continue outperforming. We absorbed some of the special concepts that were the result of our endeavors to end each hassle of our customers in the most innovative and inventive way. During this period, we came up with concepts like Double-Door Household Carriers, Perfect Boxes, Fabric Sheets, Trendy Bags, etc. These unique concepts were acclaimed a lot for raising the quality of our services to the peerless level and setting the standards in the field of packing and moving.

Furthermore, by this time, Information Technology came into the picture, and so, we went on transforming our network and offices from manual to computerized to remain well-connected. We started using different facets of IT to our advantage, in the form of ERP and VTS, and reaped the benefits of E-Commerce by making the ways to reach our customers uncomplicatedly. Online enquiry forms, online payment mode, online consignment tracking, etc., everything simplified the ways of dealing.

The late 2000s

Late 2000s- Penetration and Going Global

Late 2000s was the period when we decided to take up new assignments as well. We went, in addition, global! Brimming with confidence, we were getting enough impetus to touch as many borders as we could with our essence, and hence, we went on tackling international move with zeal to grow by leaps and bounds. Gradually, we registered our patent/TM in a number of countries including the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia. We gained enough knowledge and competence to perform the task of moving from India to almost 182 different countries in the world and vice versa.

Till Today- Customer Focus

We deliver our services in a way to keep on appraising the quality and effectiveness day by day, because all we want, is to register even today in Our History when written somewhere in the future. And to accomplish this task, we have successfully shifted our focus from “tension-free shifting” to “moving to delight”. In addition, we got our Quality Management Systems certified and confirmed to the Quality Management System Standard: ISO 9001:2008 (now renewed to ISO 9001:2015) during this period. Furthermore, the company even got registered in Limca Book of Records for seven consecutive years as the Largest Mover of Household Goods. Being chosen as the Associate Member of International Association of Movers (IAM), a STAR BRAND and a POWER BRAND we are again highlighting the achievements of this period.

When progressively climbing our success ladder, our company unwrapped as “Agarwal Packers and Movers Limited”, the flagship company of our root group – “Agarwal Movers Group”. We proudly declare that our company is seen as the originator of the Packing and Moving sector in the country!
