WHY EGALTRANS
Every business is challenging. Entrepreneurs spend countless hours, days, and years establishing and grow their businesses. Sleepless nights, fear of uncertainty, financial rollercoasters are part of an entrepreneur’s journey, making it an exciting one overcoming all the challenges.
However, for entrepreneurs operating small and medium-sized logistics businesses, especially 10 Million truckers in India, these challenges have become unbearable, to a point where many of them are deciding to exit their business at a loss.
We decided to bring a change in truckers’ entrepreneurial journey, and create growth opportunities for them.
Egaltrans was founded with a simple yet zealous purpose: “To enable respectable growth for truckers, while on a journey to eliminate wrong stereotypes and social perceptions haunting them.”

WE'RE COMMITTED TO IMPROVE THE FINANCIAL, SOCIAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TRUCK DRIVERS
Logistics is the backbone of our country’s economy. However, the real people who support it, the drivers, do not get their due credit. The hardships they have endured and still endure on a daily basis has led them to discourage younger generations from taking up trucking as a profession. Lack of respect towards them from our society coupled with a lack of substantial growth in the profession made them feel like social outcasts.
On one hand, the number of drivers per 1000 trucks has decreased from 1300 to 700 since 1982. Projections are that it will reduce to 480 drivers per 1000 trucks by 2022! Such depletion in truck driver population is a serious threat to the logistics sector.
We’re committed to change this.
EVERY CHALLENGE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW
We know there are tons of problems hindering the growth in the trucking industry. Driver shortage, poor infrastructure, the safety of drivers and trucks, improper implementation of technology solutions, fluctuating operational costs collectively make it nearly impossible for small and medium transportation companies to survive and grow. We handpick overlooked problems that could unlock great growth potential and work closely with our customers and partners to create an impactful change.
At first glance, it looks like a tremendous challenge, but when we look beyond these challenges, we see opportunities for growth.
