Founded in 1972 by Mr Omprakash Mahipal, ‘Mega Freight Movers Ltd, was born out of a desire to think large and push beyond the limitations of traditional freight transportation.
Nitin, son of Mr Omprakash Mahipal, has worked in the business for two decades and graduated from Cardiff University in the United Kingdom with a Master’s in Business Administration in Finance and Marketing. Both father and son found a solution for the clients and ensured they got the services on time at competitive rates.
The Story Behind The Name ‘Mega’
“We chose this name in order to have a significant impact on how India delivers its commodities, whether commercial or personal.”, notes Mr Nitin Mahipal, Managing Director, Mega Freight Movers.
Mega is on its way to becoming one significant logistics company, providing transportation, packing and moving, warehousing, 3PL, and home storage services all under one roof, replacing several fragmented and unorganized service providers. Their app ‘MegaMatic‘ is simple yet effective in providing just the proper amount of information to make their customers’ transition to a new house as simple as possible. It is-
- Simple to use: The MegaMatic app is designed to be intuitive and easy to use.
- Easy to understand: Simple, consistent design and clear labelling make it easy to understand the information you need.
MegaMatic USPs
Instead of relying on anyone for the correct information or calling different people in the supply chain, one central app gives the correct information to all and allows perfect synergy to prevail.
In an industry where the supply chain to deliver and sell a product can be highly complex, everyone has access to relevant information. MegaMatic is an app that helps to do exactly that because it connects all team members into one singular system. It gives customers the ability to track their products at any time and helps managers stay in communication with those they are managing.
“Our USP is providing a single version of truth (SVOT) every time through our communication and Technology platform.”, Nitin claims.
The idea to use simple yet powerful tools like transparency and dedication to making a significant and positive difference in the customers’ supply chains was on the cards from the very beginning.

During the Pandemic, We knew that many people were fleeing the city, as they didn’t feel safe in the city. Instead, in such unprecedented times, many individuals wanted to be closer to their hometown and spend more time with their families.
“We saw an opportunity and offered them our Home Storage Options, where we packed and stored their household goods in 1/5th the cost of their monthly rent. It was a big saving for the clients”, says managing director Mr Nitin O Mahipal.
