And with a total participation of 81 people – including 44 unique Fleet Owners and 7 IKA – the session showed early signs of a really special day ahead.

And special it was. Because for the first time in the history of the OPL, the wife of a transporter attended the event; Mrs. Majeed the wife of Marble Gallery District President Mr. Abdul Majeed. But this was just one of the many high points of the session. Kick starting the day, Mr. Vijayan, Sales Manager, TVS & Sons, greeted the audience with a warm welcome speech. And followed it up with a very informative Corporate and OPL Presentation.

What came next was something that could help the transporters’ business for the long run. Because Mr. Arun Chandran, ABM, MTBL, gave a detailed and insightful presentation on the powerful TRUXO 25 truck. His thorough explanation of the truck features and benefits convinced many in the audience to choose the truck for their business. The TRUXO 25 was also put on display for the attendees to get a closer look of the truck.

With such an invigorating presentation, it’s needless to say that the audience interaction was through the roof. The team of TVS & Sons along with the local MTBL team actively participated in the session. The session ended with a loud round of applause by the satisfied attendees to the speech of Mr. Venkatachalam, DGM, TVS & Sons. Following the event, the customers shared their appreciation for the Calicut OPL event:
