It is a company that is known for its ethical business practices. It is one where the team and their CEO walk the extra mile to resolve their customers’ problems. Founded 40 years ago by Kailash Chandra Agarwal, Alliance Commercial Transport (ACT) is a strong and reliable ODC mover and also owns construction equipment rental business vertical. ACT was nurtured by Agarwal from being a small business with two trailers to a robust company over the years.

Today, it is looking at expanding to become a national brand with international footprints under the strong leadership of Nimish Saraf who took up the reins of ACT in 2014 at the demise of his father-in-law, Agarwal. Aided by his wife, Prerana Saraf, an MBA in Finance and Bachelor in Economics (Hons.), as the CFO of ACT, Saraf is full of vision and strategy to steer ACT towards success.

Nimish Saraf, CEO – Alliance Commercial Transport explains: “I have been on ground zero since 2014 taking risks, resolving impossible issues and building up on the reliability factor that ACT has always delivered to its discerning customers. Today, our clients know that any job that ACT undertakes will get executed in a consummate manner. We know that in the ODC movement many unexpected developments may happen when on the road and we succeed in resolving them because we excel at easing the obstacles.”

An IT engineer and an MBA in marketing, Saraf anticipates unique issues that come with ODC movement, despite his zero experience in logistics. Yet it has not deterred him in diving fully into the business and achieving success besides building up their client base.
