The journey of R K Travels began in the year 1992 with Shankar K Bathe in the driving seat. He set out with one car but with a drive to succeed in the race.

It was a challenge to meet the requirements of the customers with just one car at the disposal. But the sincerity to serve did not go unnoticed, and soon the company was associated with corporate clients.

Tie-ups with some esteemed multinationals & large and small national companies followed, and R K Travels became a force to reckon with on the road.

The brand “R K Travels” got recognition and was further developed with sheer hard work.

The company’s cars were now hired on a call as well as a yearly contract basis. What put it ahead in the fiercely competitive marketplace was uncompromising hard work, punctuality, safety, periodic renewal of fleet, and excellent friendly back office support.

In 1996, the company rolled out air-conditioned buses for Pune-Mumbai (CSIT) airport and Pune airport transfer. The highlight of the service was residence pickup and drop within Pune City and adjoining areas.

The strategy was the same, starting with a single schedule and one car and later expanding to hourly to and fro departures between Pune and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Terminal (Mumbai Airports) and vice versa.

In June of 2013, the company started providing a bouquet of tours and travel services that included air ticketing, holiday tours (domestic & international), hotel booking, and passport & visa assistance. Currently, it runs under the brand www.rktravels.org.in.

The journey so far has taken the company places with a fleet of 500 plus cabs and own offices in Pune and Mumbai. All the offices are operational round the clock. The bookings are done online with the Pune and Mumbai offices connected with a server stationed in Pune.
