Just curious to know what is the business model here ? How does Lynk profit ? I'm a start-up kind of person so very eager to know.

is any service (online with choices to compare/ not a singular packer-mover)available for intercity transport of goods ? Please advise.

This is great. Commercial small truck operators in Bengaluru squeeze like crazy. Eg: I wanted to shift a small cupboard to my moms home, just 2 km away and they were demanding 1000.

This is a boon. Ive asked my family to use them today.

ThePorter.in

This one is available in Mumbai (and Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi NCR, too)

The app was pretty smooth, and prices were great. Gave me a range of what vehicles were available at the time (Ace to 407).

I did not end up using it though. One thing i wish it had was the option to have extra people / "loaders" come with the vehicle.

This is an amazing initiative especially with commercial vehicles demanding pretty much any amount they desire! Checked the application since there are times we need such vehicles for transporting things, it's available to Chennai and Hyderabad only. Wonder if the expansion plan lands here and how it would fare. Nevertheless, this is awesome as opposed to haggling with the local guys!
