About Aakanksha Bhargava and P.M. Relocations
Aakanksha Bhargava is the CEO of her family's company P.M. Relocations. She spoke about breaking through in the heavily male-dominated sector in a previous interaction with HerZindagi. She claimed that because of their cognitive thinking and multitasking skills, women handle most of the household management and supervision. As a result, the mobility industry also needs more women.
“Initially, I was considered an “underdog” in the industry, the one who wasn’t competitive enough to meet the demands of the sector. However, it was my zeal to prove this popular perception wrong that kept me going,” she said. "It took 16 years of dedication, passion, determination, and cooperation to achieve the heights.” Her leadership mantra is “Time can never change our will, courage, and determination to chase our dreams. It can make or break you but it can’t stop you!” she added.
The CEO of P.M. Relocations Pvt Ltd (PMR), Aakanksha Bhargava, is regarded as the Relocation Service Industry Queen of India. Under her leadership, diversity, focus on values, and creative approach, PMR increased its annual turnover from ₹54 crores in 2020 to ₹134 crores in 2021.
