Here is a breakdown of the key chapters as the riveting brand story of PTC unfolded over the last 57 years
The story of PTC began in 1968, founded by the late Shri Krishan Kumar Arya Ji. In an era when India’s infrastructure was still developing, Shri Arya Ji envisioned a transport company that prioritized "Service Ahead of Sales."
Starting with a small fleet and a focus on the Odisha region, the company built its reputation on the grit and optimism of its founder. Shri Arya Ji was known for facing the logistical challenges of the 1960s and 70s with a "true fighter" spirit—a culture that remains embedded in the company today.
