Founding father Asgar Shakoor Patel laid the rock solid foundations of the House of Patels in India in 1959, when he set up road transportation company Patel Roadways. What began as a one-truck activity in the 50’s soon grew into one of the largest logistics companies in Asia, boasting a multinational clientele, and brand equity unparalleled in the Indian logistics industry.

Building on the trust of its strong base of customers and associates, the Patels forged strongly ahead with growth-oriented diversification that found them in couriers, air-freight, finance, foreign exchange and the fast growing money remittance business. Today, the House of Patels holds 80% of the market share in the courier co-loading industry in India and is also the market leader in the logistics, foreign exchange and inward remittance business.
