Our history · Our family · Our legacy

The journey that started with one truck.

The story of Rana Transport & Logistics is a story of vision, responsibility and continuity across three generations.

It began in Nadiad, where determination and a single truck laid the foundation for what would become a family transportation business.

    Chapter One · The Founder

    One truck. One vision. The beginning of a legacy.

    Late Shri Dinesh Vasantlal RanaFounder of Dinesh Transport · 7 April 1947 – 10 May 2021

    Around 1998–2001, Dinesh Vasantlal Rana began a transportation journey in Salun Bazaar, Rana Chowk, Nadiad.

    With one green Tata Eicher truck and a belief in honest work, he established Dinesh Transport. Those early years were defined not by the size of the business but by the commitment required to build it.

    Every journey, every relationship and every responsibility helped lay the foundation for the future. His contribution remains at the heart of Rana Transport & Logistics today.

    As the family enterprise developed, the responsibility of carrying the founder's work forward passed to the next generation.

    Jalpesh Rana played an important role in strengthening transportation operations, business continuity and commercial relationships. His involvement, particularly from approximately 2015–2016 onward, contributed to the continued development of Rana Transports.

    The business grew beyond its original beginnings while remaining connected to the values on which it had been established. The second generation did more than continue the work — it helped prepare the business for the opportunities ahead.
