How did this company start Uber Trucking without owning a single truck?

Gaurav Biswas, founder and CEO of TruKKer, tells Ofoq News how a dinner table discussion inspired him to found one of the largest freight trucking companies in the region. We explore how his family and his passion for art and cars shaped his ambitions.

Biswas said TruKKer is the largest road freight operator in the region, operating 75,000 trucks in 9 countries. Since then, it has expanded throughout the region.

Before TruKKer, Biswas had no background in freight trucking, much less logistics. But a conversation with a friend over dinner inspired the idea for the company. He said at the time: “There has to be an Uber for trucks.”

Biswas chose Abu Dhabi as the company's headquarters, citing the UAE's business-friendly environment. “Abu Dhabi was an obvious choice, especially since Abu Dhabi Global Market and TruKKer were launching several initiatives to encourage technology companies, which was gaining momentum,” he said.
