Moving house or relocating is a tiresome task. Having relocated about 7 times in the last six years I should know what a pain it can be, and perhaps this is one reason I jumped with joy when I heard about our featured entrepreneurs and their venture. Ankur Agarwal, Kailash Rathi, and Sudarshan Purohit are three Young Entrepreneurs fresh out from IIT Madras who intend to make relocating as easy as ABC. Ankur Agarwal has this to say about relocating –“Relocate Easily provides complete relocation services for anyone moving to or within Bangalore, serving both the domestic and corporate sectors. We bring a fresh and innovative approach to relocation services, acting as a liaison between the individual clients and Bangalore. Our goal is to exceed the expectations of every client by offering outstanding customer service, increased reliability, and greater value, thus improving operation efficiency.”

  “As an expert innovator, we have devised a well thought of and properly streamlined action plan. RelocateEasily is involved in every basic stage in Relocation Process and the current offerings include:

“Our on ground executives are distinguished by their functional and professional expertise combined with their hands-on experience, thereby ensuring that our clients receive the most effective and reliable service.”

“Unlike other relocation firms, we at RelocateEasily provide relocation services at budget prices. We just charge the standard property consultation fees and provide all our services as mentioned above for no extra cost.”

“Exceptional functional and professional expertise coupled with extensive research makes RelocateEasily the ideal choice for a relocation firm to manage your relocation to Bangalore.”  

He is also eyeing the future and foresees great prospects; he says “The scope is enormous. Right now, there is no company like ours which is working towards bringing all the relocation related tasks under one umbrella and offering it to the masses.

The customer base for our company is increasing everyday. And we have a target of serving at least 5000 customers by the end of this year.”

“Until recently we were trying and testing out various strategies that will suit our business. Once we figured out the best approach, we started building our own CRM (Customer Relationship Management Software).Right now we are standardizing all the steps that need to be taken to complete any task from beginning till end. We are hiring competent people and always look for an entrepreneurial light in the employees. We are constantly developing the software and website’s functionality to reduce human intervention. Once we have completely mechanized and stabilized our system in Bangalore, we will be all geared up to scale-up and branch out to other cities.” 

They are also exceptional from other movers and packers in that they provide:-

• An organized approach to the existing unorganized real estate consultancy market
• 1 stop solution for all relocation solution
• Providing basic relocation services packaged together at very affordable prices
• Corporate solution and providing a helping hand to the Admin dept. in companies

Ankur has entrepreneurship in his blood and it has always beckoned to him. He says “Being from a business background, I always wanted to do something of my own rather than a regular 9-to-5 job. From day 1 of my 9-to-5 job, I was clear that I don’t want to continue this for a long time (and I resigned within 7 months).”

“Willingness to take challenges in life, a good business plan, support from friends and family, my enthusiasm to learn out of the regular 9-to-5 job and a chance to work with my own batch mates are amongst a few things that led me choose the path of an entrepreneur.”

Finding suitable employees is a problem faced by all and this was also something that has plagued them. Ankur told us about how he solved it saying “We didn’t use to plan the employee strength that we will need in the next month, and when the work started to overload, we went out for hiring. This led to a further delay in completion of a task. Also, short listing the right person at an appropriate salary is a very time consuming and difficult task. We have overcome this problem by proper planning and opening new avenues of getting more people.”

“Now we have a set plan and the employee strength required for the next few months and start hiring accordingly well in advance. We have built up relationships with a few colleges which can offer us fresh and brilliant recruits to make our company reach greater heights.”

Relocate Easily has a strategy for annexing more business space. They believe in being prepared and summarily revealed their preparations saying “We devised all the strategies and planned everything till February end. We started building up our system in March. By the end of March, we were all set to go live and became fully operational. Mentioned below are a few points of our progress within two and a half months of our operations:

• Till date we have served over 300 clients and our conversion rate is around 50%.
• We have grown from a team of 3 people to a family of 15.
