Lorryguru riding high on success

TIRUPATI: A few years ago, Manjusha wanted to move a load of granite stones from Chittoor to a place called Kadayam near Tenkasi in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. She hired a transport agent who failed to arrange for a suitable truck/lorry for moving the material. Lack of communication and negotiation skills on part of the agent resulted in two lorries waiting idly to transport material from Renigunta to Tirunelveli.
Manjusha was hassled by the experience. She thought about people who go through such hassles with the transport systems in the region. This inspired her to come up with a solution. And the result of that idea is Lorryguru.com.

Manjusha, with her husband and business partner, Purushotham, who is also an ERP consultant and programmer, decided to create a user-friendly platform for freight exchange.

The idea was to create a common platform where customers, lorry owners, transport agents and companies could exchange relevant information on freight exchange.

“Every now and then, you will have people wanting to move goods from one place to another. But finding a suitable lorry is not easy,” Manjusha says.

The objective of Lorryguru.com is to provide a fully functional and reliable domestic online freight exchange platform for the logistics industry, SMEs and the general public. The mission of the platform is to eliminate the problems of “empty load” journeys for lorry owners, while ensuring that companies and the average customers who need vehicle for transporting their goods get the best deal in terms of price, safe delivery of their goods and the right kind of vehicle to meet their needs.
