What TransWorld International does

TransWorld International is a Bangalore-headquartered, founder-owned logistics and relocation services company founded in 1999 by Rijish AV and Prakash K. It provides end-to-end domestic and international moving, storage and warehousing, global mobility (visa, orientation, cross-cultural training, school/home search, settling-in, repatriation), and corporate relocation services including specialized data centre migration for IT equipment. The company serves a dual B2B/B2C market, with a stated roster of 2,700+ corporate clients across IT, banking and financial services, logistics, electronics, and retail (IBM, Amazon, Microsoft, Cisco, HSBC, Morgan Stanley, Accenture, Schneider Electric, Sony, Target, among others), complemented by individual residential customers acquired through the website, phone, and WhatsApp.

The underlying technology stack centers on an ERP-backed live shipment tracking portal (status.transworldintl.com), a dedicated relocation manager and move coordinator model, and specialized physical-handling capabilities including ISPM 15-compliant wooden crating, vacuum packing with VCI corrosion inhibitors, containerized vehicle fleet (100+), and temperature-controlled storage across 1M+ sqft in 12 Indian locations. International reach is delivered through FIDI affiliation, providing access to 500+ vetted partners in 180+ countries. Service quality is reinforced by FIDI FAIM Plus (first in South India), ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 certifications.

The revenue model is project-based and quote-driven, with pricing determined through pre-move surveys and customized per engagement across service lines: one-time domestic relocations, professional-services fees for international moves and data centre migration, and managed-services contracts for warehousing and global mobility programs. Sales rely on enterprise field sales for corporate clients (with dedicated relocation managers and move coordinators) and direct-to-consumer web/phone acquisition for residential customers. The company is entirely bootstrapped with no external funding rounds disclosed and operates across 11 Indian cities.
