Marking its entry into Odisha’s
passenger transport sector, Garudaa Travels has launched Garudaa Express, a
premium sleeper bus service connecting Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and Rourkela, with
plans for gradual expansion across the state and neighbouring regions.
The service was formally inaugurated
at a function held at Durga Mandap near Baramunda Bus Stop in Bhubaneswar in
the presence of industry stakeholders, transport professionals and invited
guests.
Founded by Debashish Mishra, Garudaa
Travels is backed by more than a decade of experience in the commercial vehicle
and transport finance sector. Having worked closely with transporters, fleet
owners, bus operators and vehicle owners, Mishra identified the need for a
passenger-centric travel brand focused on reliability, comfort, safety and
service excellence.
Speaking on the occasion, Mishra said,
"Garudaa Travels was born from a vision to provide a better travel
experience for passengers while building a trusted transportation brand for
Odisha."
To strengthen its operational
capabilities, the company has partnered with Sanjeeb Biswal, a seasoned bus
operations professional whose expertise in passenger transport management has
played a crucial role in shaping the venture’s operational framework.
Garudaa Express begins operations with
two premium sleeper coaches on the Bhubaneswar–Cuttack–Rourkela corridor, one
of Odisha’s key travel routes. The service aims to offer passengers a
comfortable, safe and punctual travel experience, supported by modern amenities
and professional management.
Company officials said Garudaa Travels intends to steadily expand its network across Odisha and neighbouring states while maintaining stringent standards of safety, operational efficiency and customer service.
With a blend of industry knowledge, operational expertise and a strong commitment to passenger satisfaction, Garudaa Travels aims to redefine long-distance road travel and emerge as a trusted mobility brand in eastern India.
