Despite being among the adversely impacted sectors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the corporate employee transportation sector has shown exemplary resilience and is exhibiting a significant growth rate in recent times. Being home to one of the largest corporate workforces in the world, India’s employee transportation services market size which stood at $6.1 billion in 2023, is expected to amount to $13.2 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.78 percent during the forecast period.

Amidst such encouraging industry conditions, one company that has successfully managed to maintain a competitive edge in the market is Continental Interlink. Based in Pune, Continental Interlink is the brainchild of Vikas Rajput, Director, who recognized the lack of reliable transportation services and established the company in 2012 with the ambitious vision of revolutionizing the transport industry by providing top-notch quality services through cutting-edge technology integration.

Today, with a fleet of over 5,000 vehicles and a presence across 45+ Indian cities, the firm has earned the reputation of being among the most reliable partners for diverse transportation requirements. Some of its major offerings include Employee Transport, Corporate Car Rental, Rapid Response Transport, and Electric Vehicle services. The company considers Employee Transport Services as its primary forte and flagship area.

“While our dedicated team of experts ensures regular maintenance and upkeep of the fleet, we also have strategically located service centers across India to manage large-scale operations efficiently and meet the diverse needs of our clients with reliability and precision. Additionally, regular audits and inspections, along with advanced fleet management software help us maintain consistency in service quality across India”, says Vikas Rajput.

Quality, Safety, Compliance, and Punctuality have been the cornerstones of Continental Interlink’s services, wherein all its drivers & chauffeurs have not only been associated with the company for at least 4-5 years, but also undergo police verification every year and health checkups every six months. Also, only experienced personnel who are also police verified are deployed at clients’ sites as supervisors to coordinate between the drivers and employees. To provide additional safety, Continental Interlink also has a stringent policy in place to have the security personnel of the client company to join the drivers and escort women employees during their pickups and drops.

It takes months to find a customer but only seconds to lose one

Explaining an instance that depicts the efficiency of his services, Vikas proudly says, “During the pandemic, when corporate operations faced massive disruptions worldwide, we went above and beyond to ensure the wheels of our economy kept moving and emerged as a silent hero. Whether it was asset movement, transferring essential workers to companies and back to their homes, or ensuring medical staff reached hospitals, we showcased unparalleled commitment and even helped people stuck at unusual places under strict safety protocols to safely return to their homes. This way, we were instrumental in supporting the workforce, enabling productivity, and most importantly, maintaining the morale of employees who relied on safe, reliable transport in uncertain times”.

With such a fine track record at hand, Continental Interlink boasts of an elite clientele comprising of renowned names such as TCS, Veritas, Tech Mahindra, Deutsche Bank, Symantec, Qualys, eClerx, Lanxess, General Mills, GEBBS, C-Edge and Capita. Going forward, its primary focus will be on expansion and diversification by foraying into new markets and introducing more innovative services to cater to evolving business needs. Further, the company will also be making investments in advanced technologies, enhancing its infrastructure, and expanding its fleet of vehicles to support large-scale operations, while also staying committed to sustainability and implementing eco-friendly practices across all its services.
