Chenna: Conferences on aircraft and ships are passé. The novelty is a conference in a bus.
The Rs.160 crore turnover Parveen Travels (P) Ltd, which operates a fleet of buses, has hit upon the idea of conference on wheels to hold corporate and other meetings in a specially designed hi-tech bus.
Launching the service here Tuesday, Managing Director A. Afzal told reporters: “With a lot of projects – industrial and real estate – coming up away from Chennai, corporate executives coming from outside can have their meeting inside our bus and save time.
“Similarly, real estate companies while arranging site visits for their prospective customers can showcase their project using the LCD television provided in the bus. The movie industry can have discussions on board,” he said.
The fully air-conditioned bus has a long conference table at the centre and 14 swivel chairs around it. “There is a provision to use two laptops. We also provide an assistant to help our clients,” Afzal said.
He said the hire charge was Rs.27,999 for eight hours and 200 km.
