Descriptiontext

Writer Corporation is an Indian business group, founded by P.N. Writer, that has operated across multiple service lines for decades under the Writer Relocations (established 1947), Writer Business Services, and Glovve brands. Its operations span corporate relocation services, information management and secure records storage, realty, hospitality, and cash management, with the parent described as a 10,000+ employee private company headquartered in Mumbai, India.

The group's technology offering centers on Glovve, a cloud-based, paperless enterprise relocation platform that combines a Governed Open Bidding Marketplace — enabling curated relocation partners to compete for corporate employee relocation contracts under defined service, compliance, and performance parameters — with a digital ecosystem supporting HR and administration teams managing inter-city and intra-city moves under corporate-paid and corporate-reimbursed programs. Writer Business Services extends into B2B financial services outsourcing, including ATM outsourcing, managed payment services, and secure records and information storage, with Sri Lanka operations launched in early 2026 from a Seeduwa, Colombo facility.

The business model is enterprise B2B: direct engagement with corporate HR and administration teams in India for relocation, and with banks, financial institutions, and enterprises for managed services and outsourcing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is not disclosed in available sources, and the company is privately held with no external institutional investors identified.
