Relocation and Transportation Industry Details
Relocation, as an Industry is interesting & full of potential as you will easily find packers and movers startups that offer the best relocation services India. The following facts present the existing gap between the demand and supply side of the relocation industry. It is this gap that facilitates numerous opportunities for a company in this industry to grow and flourish.
- 80+ frauds related to the Relocation Industry are reported each day. That’s more than 29K+ frauds reported every year.
- The Industry is full of seasonal and pretentious Packers and Movers and home shifting services who have a prominent position in the market. Just to give a picture, the most prominent mover of Industry does not own something more than 2% of the entire Market.
- Relocation as an Industry is full of dissatisfied customers. The factor is so prominent that none of the national players today is ranked anything above 3.0/5.0.
- Relocation as an Industry works like a perfectly competitive market but prices its services like a monopolistic competitive one. So the same service from two different vendors can vary drastically in terms of the cost on no apparently justified reasons. It is also easy to I’ve relocation services or the top packers and movers by simply searching for packers and movers near me.

How was HappyLocate Started
Ajay, coming from an HR background, saw relocation as a big hassle for all his fresh hires/existing employees. As he decided to take his startup plunge, nothing more than relocation looked like the right idea to work on. Sainadh and Ajay were in touch with each other for some time before starting the company. As Sainadh himself relocated 5 times in his life, he instantly connected with the idea and took the plunge of starting relocation services in Bangalore.
First started out as HappyLocate Bangalore, the platform is now serviceable across 15,000+ PIN codes across India. Initially, when they launched. However after happylocate funding in January 2019 and also after positive happy locate packers and movers reviews, the company has expanded its corporate sales force in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kolkata & Delhi.
HappyLocate – Name, Tagline and Logo
HappyLocate logo stands for the startup’s vision which is to make relocation a happy process. While the HappyLocate packers and movers tagline is a “one-stop relocation platform” which shows that it aims to be a happy packers and movers company.
After spending a lot of time on working over the brand aesthetics, we finally decided to go with the most basic and initial versions of our branding.
HappyLocate – Business Model and Revenue Model
HappyLocate packers and movers conduct a pre-move survey to determine the quoted price. The purpose of a pre-move survey is to get the best estimate of the volume of the goods to be transported. It also helps to identify delicate & valuable articles, understand needs more closely to accurately project manpower and material requirements and therefore a right quote submission on that basis and this is what makes it one of the best Bengaluru relocation companies.
Corporate Relocation Services in Bangalore are HappyLocate’s prime area of focus. Users of the startup’s corporate relocation tool RELOSYS can have access to the tool through either a fixed per year cost or can access the same at “Pay-as-you-go” where corporates are required to pay only when they use the tool for their employee relocation.
All the payments are done in advance on HappyLocate.com through their secured online payment gateway only after a quote amount is generated and displayed in the Happylocate relocation services dashboard. They accept online payments through net banking, credit card, debit card or wallets associated with HappyLocate (HL).

It’s our sheer commitment to the utmost service level commitment that helps us retain our existing users and bring new users to a system with the help of WOM.
HappyLocate – Startup Challenges
The biggest challenge of the relocation industry is the way it has been operated. The problem starts with the fact that even the best packers and movers in the market have not shown any visible effort towards enhancing their customer experience. The result is a substantial low rating which is now common with every home shifting services.
Another problem is the way how the market works. The best player in the market enjoys no more than 2% of the market share. The reason being, relocation industry is full of seasonal/pretentious/duplicate movers. For the people looking for the best relocation services, finding the right mover who can assure a hassle-free relocation is very tough. Hence, getting together trustworthy vendors in one place was a major challenge in the initial phase and according to happylocate reviews, the platform has now successfully overcome intense research and compliance mechanisms.
We can today proudly say that we trust our vendors more than anything because all our vendors have wholeheartedly committed to us, on paper, a rigid packaging standard, a commitment of 98% damage-free relocation rate and a corporate grade relocation experience. Thanks to the commitment of our vendors and relocation managers, HappyLocate is today rated one of the highest on every public platform in the industry.
