Packers and movers business falls under the umbrella of logistics and transportation sector. Due to the industry's vast scope, we will specifically focus on the market for packing and moving services.
This business of late is getting wings as people today are preferring to hire experts for their moving needs instead of driving themselves with prolonged fatigue and burning fuel.
Further, the industry is growing due to new demographic conditions, new customer demands, increasing purchasing power and use of technology.
Amit Sharma who is the Managing Director of Flystuff Packers and Movers, operating from Noida 61 said that industry is big and lots of competition in the market puts limitations on profit making. As the industry is a service-oriented business, it’s among the most preferred options for many entrepreneurs that are looking to establish their own business without infusing a lot of capital, he said.
Amit further said that anyone can start a packers and movers business in India, as long as they have some experience and connections. It doesn't cost a lot of money to start, but there is a lot of competition from other moving companies in each state. For example, you can find many packers and movers in Hyderabad, Delhi, and other big cities.
