Sulekha unveiled the results of a study undertaken on the PACKERS & MOVERS category of Local Services. Revealing several interesting trends, the study shows a 44% upsurge in online requests for Packers & Movers across India in the last one year.
This study is based on an analysis of over 6,50,000 searches on Sulekha in the last one year (July 2015 to June 2016) for Packers & Movers, and 87000 online requests in this Local Services category on the portal. The study covers 8 key metros in the country - Delhi–NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Pune. The study takes into consideration four different categories of Packers & Movers:
•Car Carriers
•Packers & Movers Outside India (for people looking to shift out of the country)
•Packers & Movers Within India
•Packers & Movers Within City
Commenting on the findings, Satya Prabhakar, CEO, Sulekha, said, “This study interestingly indicates how millennials in India are constantly on the move today. They are not deeply rooted to any particular city and are willing to move around for better career opportunities and prospects. Packers & Movers is a high-value category in the $200 billion Local Services market in India, and we have seen explosive growth in this category this past year. Sulekha will focus on developing this category further, based on data intelligence and our market experience.”
