From TCS to Tranzum

offering services in diversified industries including express, logistics, warehousing, distribution, gift delivery, mail order, travel and tours, visa drop box, management development, event management and publications. The TRANZUM enterprise has established offices in South Asia, North America and Europe. When people take pleasure and pride in what they do, then success becomes a foregone conclusion. The journey, that invariably begins with the first few tentative steps, soon assumes a life and dynamism of its own as destination after destination is charted, arrived at, and proceeded from, for the pursuit of excellence has no destination, and remains a journey in perpetuity along an ever rising graph of attainment. Along the way it becomes necessary to take stock, review strengths, and address weaknesses, and sometimes restructure and reconfigure in view of new realities. "Prosperity is the ability to succeed with relative ease," says Spencer Johnson, Management guru and author of 'Who Moved My Cheese'. "Too much change is not wise, and too many little changes don't work. You have to make a few big, simple changes that will have a significant impact." He goes on to say that "... the more you care for your employees the more successful your company will be, and that means listening to them and hearing what they feel about issues such as change. The wisdom of the group is always greater than the wisdom of just one leader, so it is important for the company to buy into that..." The above best describes the philosophy at work that has seen Mr. Khalid Awan execute some broad strokes and leverage his successful courier company TCS into a multi-business group, TRANZUM, focused on attaining global market share in diverse endeavours. The new businesses are natural upstream and downstream activities of the core competency that TCS has acquired over the last 23 years of its existence. They are manned by old colleagues with new mission statements and a shared vision that accepts nothing less than perfection as par for the course. The wisdom of the group has been harnessed in full measure, and many a midnight lamp has burnt at all levels of the organizational hierarchy, charting the best possible course in the increasingly borderless global village. The leader has led from the front when required. For the most part he has enjoyed the ride as his able bodied and worldly-wise lieutenants took charge of the process, and thrilled and delighted each other with their innovative and out-of-the-box approaches so necessary for upward mobility in a highly competitive business environment. The changes have been few, but they have been significant.
