A tyre is the mirror of a vehicle’s health. And JK Tyre takes care of its clients’ fleet. Not only that, JK Tyre cares for the health of the drivers too. SRS Travels is one of the major clients for JK Tyre. Out of the 4,000-odd buses that they ply across the country, about 1,700 are owned by them while the rest are attached vehicles. What was evident at the recently held free eye check-up and health camp at one of the three depots of SRS Travels in Bangalore was the tremendous after-sales support and care by JK Tyre. Mention must also be made here about the erratic monsoon in the country. With heavy downpour in some places alternating with scanty showers in others, this has had a negative health impact on people.
Drivers, who spend long hours on the roads in different pockets of the country, are affected too. And in that context, this medical camp was a boon at the right time. Elaborating about the camp, Dr. B.C. Praveen Kumar, Head - South India, Sevamob Primary Healthcare, said: “We hold these camps wherever JK Tyre takes us to conduct health check-ups exclusively for drivers and mechanics of their clients’ fleet. We specifically look for issues in their vision. Besides, we check if they are hyper or hypotensive. Most of them also suffer from diabetes.” Manju S, Area Manager, JK Tyre and Industries, agreed. “For us, the drivers need to be safe. Towards this, we go the extra length to take care of not only the tyres that we supply but also the drivers and mechanics,” he said.
Deepak V, Senior Sales and Service Engineer - Fleet Management, JK Tyre and Industries, said: “Our journey with SRS Travels began less than a decade ago. We had begun offering them 15-20 test tyres but now we are supplying about 400 tyres a month.”
