Caravans the world over are a popular mode of transport for those who seek nature’s solace. In India, however, adoption has far from taken off. It is also true that tourism was hit hard by Covid-19 that is blamed for creating a fear of group travel. With the private bus and State Transport Undertakings (STUs) like Maharashtra State Transport Corporation (MSRTC) suffering a blow as a result, travelers are on the lookout for unique offerings like Motohom. As the only Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) approved caravan vendor, Mumbai-based Motohom Pvt. Ltd. finds itself uniquely poised for growth.

The approval to caravan tourism received earlier this year has made a strong business case with the government offering incentives to caravan operators like Motohom. With its customised fleet of vehicles, ranging from a Multi-Utility Vehicle (MUV) to intermediate and medium commercial vehicles that include vans and buses, Motohom offers tailor-made packages. On being the booster shot for the revival of tourism in the state of Maharashtra, in a candid conversation, Sachin Panchal, Founder at Motohom, expressed, “We are thankful to the Maharashtra government for giving us a platform. They supported a startup like us and gave us a free hand. Today, other state government’s are seeing value and have started approaching us too.”
