“Well, the change was organizational, and there was no way we could let this trickle down to our clients.

As part of the new management’s commitment, the company has realigned itself to focus on four main aspects, viz., ante up Interdepartmental Communication, Employee Well-Being, and invest heavily in the R&D and Design Departments to ensure Shorter Turnaround Time.
Employee Well-Being is the Focus at Gobind Body Builders
A company’s productivity is directly proportional to employee morale. Investing in employee well-being leads to job satisfaction which ultimately manifests pronounced positive effects on productivity as well as tangible benefits to a business’s bottom line.
When the new management at Gobind Body took over, employee well-being was a priority on its agenda. The company’s new vision was a form of wellness that transcended catering to employees’ physical well-being and gave them the tools to discover their respective purposes.
This has been successful in fostering a positive sense of ownership down to the ground level and invigorating the sense of responsibility among each individual. This ensured a pronounced commitment to quality and productivity.

Interdepartmental Synergy
Building synergistic relationships among various departments is the core of maximizing a company’s productivity, however big or small.
Effective interdepartmental communication keeps information moving and ensures that all stakeholders of the organizations work collectively with a shared sense of reason, no matter how diverse their processes, systems, and frameworks have been in the past.
“To maintain a seamless experience for our customers, it’s indispensable for all the people and departments to function in sync with each other. As part of our new manifesto, we are concentrating on building up collaborations between departments, right from the ground level by structuring our team’s interactions with other departments. It involves a shared vision, mutual respect, and in-depth understanding of each other’s role in a project to achieve excellent business outcomes and outstanding customer experience,” states Sukhmander Gill.
Increased Focus on R&D and Designing
As one of the best bus body builders in India, Gobind Body Builders is known for its sleek, contemporary designs that the brand has now become synonymous with.
Over the years, the company has been at the vanguard of pushing its boundaries in terms of aesthetics – be it bus body designs, painting technology, amenities, or accessories.
“Strong design can be at the heart of both disruptive and sustained success in any manufacturing setting. This stands especially true for bus bodies, as one of the most important features of a bus is its aesthetics. A bus needs to command a road presence and turn heads; that has been our sole aim since the inception of Gobind Body Builders Punjab. Now, we are concentrating on taking this a step ahead with the help of our R&D and Design departments,” says Sukhmander Gill.
As part of its new design culture, Gobind Body Builders has been constantly training its Design and R&D teams to use the latest resources to come up with state-of-the-art product innovation.
The company’s heavy investment in the said departments is a testimony to its promise to come up with bus bodies that are not only visually rich but also promise unmatched strength and fuel efficiency.
Shorter Turnaround Time
Last but not least, the company has focused on delivering projects within the least turnaround time under the aegis of Sukhmander Gill.
An absolute customer-centric step, this has, in the initial step itself, proven to be extremely beneficial for the company.
“So, delivery time is of crucial importance to fleet owners when it comes to bus body building because they have huge EMIs to pay every month. Normally, it takes around 70-75 days to build a Sleeper bus body in India, but through our streamlined processes, we ensure that we take only around 60 days to build a sleeper bus body, thus giving a 15-day head start to fleet owners,” avers Sukhmander Gill.
As a whole, the new management at Gobind Body Builders has overhauled the company’s identity and has aligned itself with building up a culture that addresses the proliferating needs of the increasingly connected and discerning customers of today.
With new management and rehashed goals, the company has already registered a warm response and is optimistic about a positive future.
