Arya Group 

The Arya Group went into business in 1952 under the charismatic stewardship of Late Abhe Ram Arya and Late Atma Ram Arya through the implementation of the first private air carrier connecting Kolkata and Siliguri with Guwahati, a feeder service across Eastern India. Following the nationalization of air carrier services, the Group extended into the growing businesses of road transportation (through Group Company Associated Transport Corporation Pvt. Ltd.) and rail freight forwarding (through Freight Forwarding of India) with a Pan-Indian presence of more than 100 branches. Soon, it brought under its service-fold Hire Purchase and Financing of automobiles and C&F Agency for Philips India Ltd. for the entire North East.
