A Visit to Konduskar Travels

With more than two decades of its dedicated bus fleet services, Konduskar holds a reputed name in the bus fleet industry. I visited Konduskar Travels to cover an article on the operator of our Motor India edition.

I had a good meeting with Mr Adnaik and Mr Pradeep Salokhe, senior officials of Konduskar Travels. It was a pleasure talking about the current issues and challenges of the bus industry in India, and formulating views about probable solutions for a future sustainable growth in this sector, in coming years.
