Bengaluru, 5 November 2025: Leo Packers and Movers proudly marks its 50th anniversary this year, commemorating five decades of unwavering dedication to safe and trusted relocation services across India and beyond. Founded in 1975, Leo has grown from a humble regional enterprise into a forward-looking national brand, grounded in family values, yet evolving for tomorrow’s challenges.
“In our family, there’s no line between home and work – Work comes home and home goes to work. Leo is an inseparable part of our everyday lives, whether we’re at the office or on holiday. It’s more than just a business; it’s like a family member – perhaps the most important one.”
— Abhay Shah, Director, Leo Packers and Movers (3rd-generation owner)
Fifty Years of Trust, Leadership and Future-Ready Innovation
Over the past five decades, Leo Packers and Movers has earned a reputation not simply as a moving company, but as a relocation partner that builds lasting relationships with clients. From its early days as a trucking service provider, the company has consistently expanded its offerings to cater to shifting societal needs — home relocations, corporate office moves, vehicle transport, large-scale storage, and international relocations.
Key milestones include:
2005: Expanded operations to achieve a pan-India presence, establishing full-service branches across major cities including Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, and Mumbai.
2007: Strengthened infrastructure and logistics capabilities by investing in large-scale storage facilities, serving both residential and corporate clients with enhanced efficiency.
2013 – Established a state-of-the-art corporate headquarters in Uttarahalli, Bengaluru, symbolising Leo’s transition into a modern, professionally managed organisation while staying rooted in its family-driven ethos.
2015: Took early strides in the digital transformation journey, pioneering the use of digital marketing, video-led storytelling, and data-driven SEO initiatives to enhance brand visibility and customer experience.
2017 – Formed strategic global partnerships to deliver seamless international relocation services, strengthening Leo’s presence across major global mobility corridors and expanding its customer base worldwide.
2024 – Began the integration of Artificial Intelligence across multiple stages of customer engagement and internal processes, marking the start of Leo’s next phase — a future-ready, technology-enabled relocation service provider.
A Family Legacy, Reimagined for Growth
For Director Abhay Shah, this anniversary is both a moment of pride and a springboard for future ambition. Having observed his grandfather and father at work from his school-holidays, he joined the business in 2013 after a tenure with a global automotive-R&D team. His return marked a turning point – transitioning Leo from a traditional people-driven enterprise into a process-oriented, technology-savvy relocation business.
Abhay acknowledges the challenges: hesitation to embrace new IT systems, an entrenched belief in “we’re always right”, and the risk of moving too fast. Over several years, he introduced changes in measured steps: building capable teams, upgrading vehicles and infrastructure, formalizing processes, and expanding into international relocation.
Looking Ahead: The Next Fifty
As Leo Packers and Movers enters its next half-century, the company is sharpening its focus on three strategic priorities that will define its future.
1) Digital Enablement:
Leo is accelerating its digital transformation through intelligent automation, real-time tracking, AI-driven planning, and data-led decision-making. These initiatives streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and create a future-ready service ecosystem.
2) Sustainability & Innovation:
From pioneering reusable moving blankets decades ago to deploying GPS-enabled fleets and developing modular, tech-enabled warehouses, Leo continues to lead with eco-friendly materials, safer packing solutions, and efficient logistics practices.
3) Global Relocation Leadership:
With partnerships across 170+ countries and growing international capabilities, Leo is strengthening its global presence and aiming to deliver a seamless, standardised experience for customers relocating anywhere in the world.
Together, these pillars reflect Leo’s commitment to evolve with the times while staying true to its founding values – ensuring the next fifty years are marked by innovation, responsibility, and customer-centric excellence.
Abhay comments: “We are not just celebrating what we did, but energising what we will do. Leo will remain rooted in the service-ethos of our founder, yet agile, digital and global in outlook. This milestone is not a finish line, but a launch-pad.”
