Leader,Guide,Mentor,Thinker,Visionary

 8th June 1938 a small boy took birth in Rajkot in a family of 8 consisting of 3 Brothers & 3 Sisters, Little did anyone know that this small boy  in the years to come will reshape the way people travel.  The world knows this small boy as Lt Sh Rasiklal Damjibhai Golwala, A visionary, a leader, a mentor, a guide, an philantrophist, a passionate man, a go getter and most importantly a pioneer who laid the strong foundation of Eagle Corporation Pvt Ltd..Eagle today is an household name in Gujarat as its various business includes Petrol Pump,  several Automobile dealerships namely Kinetic Honda, Ford,Vespa,Suzuki 2 Wheelers,Ashok Leyland Commerical Vehicles, Clearing & Forwarding agent for Indian & Multinational brands like Adani Wilmar's Fortune,Havmor,Pepsi, Amul Diary  & above all  Eagle Travels , the flagship company of the group into Bus operations & services across 6 states & 30 cities now.

Sh Rasiklal was very passionate about travel, Bus,Comfort. He always had this in the back of his mind to do something in this field,Opportunity knocked at the door in the form of an arrival of a marriage party in Rajkot from Mumbai & He was given the task to arrange a bus for the travel of this marriage party from railway station, All bookings were done & everything was in order when at the last moment the bus operator ditched, this incident left Sh Rasiklal take instant decision to find an alternative & also planted the seed to commence a travel service. In the year 1972 he self drove a dosz truck from Delhi to Rajkot converted into a bus & started renting it out to Marriage party & corporate tourist booking under the name of "Saurashtra tourist corporation".

"Fortune always favours the brave". In the year 1976 Railway bridge at Damanaganga river collapsed due to heavy rains & the traffic was badly hit. It was in this year when for the first time the bus was made to run between Rajkot & Mumbai.


 This last 5 years gave him enough courage & Confidence to start a full fledged travel services which today is known as EAGLE TRAVELS. A small humble beginning from 2 buses to just one city has today grown to over 200 buses, covering over 30 cities in 6 states with over 80 departures in a day.

Sh Rasiklal was a passionate man & also a visionary, He wanted to be the best in whatever he was involved with such integrity make him adopt EAGLE as the name & logo of the company.He always believed in "BEING A STEP AHEAD.....ALWAYS", this became the motto of the company, EAGLE the king of birds is known for its agility & precision, Sh Rasiklal believed in imbibing such standards in his company & he has been successful in doing so. Sh Rasiklal is survived by his 4 children who handle all the business of Eagle Corporation. Eagle Travels is being helmed by Sh Jayendra Bavaria & he is now trying to imbibe the same learning in his children & Sh Darshan Bavaria has started to groom himself for the days to come.




Our Founder Chairman was also very active socially & philanthropically . He was Counsellor of Rajkot Municipal Corporation for 7 years, He was also the Trustee of Lohana Samaj & along with Trustee in several temples, He did carry out such initiates for the upliftment of Poor  & allowed free travel to sick patients & gave school fees for underprivileged children. He was also a very research oriented person, Once he was diagonised with Diabetics, he carried out several research & produced a powder to help reduce & control Diabetics, He was so passionate & altruism that he got a pulverising machine in order to create this powder in bulk & give it away for free to people who were having diabetics. He did this without fail for almost a decade & there used to be a long queue of people to get it.

He was always full of energy & ideas & focused on what best to give to his customers so that they can have a comfortable journey, Such enthusiasm & dedication towards service made his go to Singapore & get projector system in order to provide entertainment for passengers, He did this in the year 1978-79 when television was also not heard off. 

We are thankful to the almighty for giving us such a leader, a Mentor, a  guide & above all a noble person who brought a revolution & change. 

Wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. We are sure you will be blessing us from the heaven. With the motto to carry on your shown path.

Rajkot- Our Birthplace.

Rajkot (Gujaratiરાજકોટ Rājkot) is the fourth largest city in the state of GujaratIndia, after AhmedabadSurat, andVadodara. Rajkot is the 35th-largest urban agglomeration in India, with a population more than 1.6 million as of 2012. Rajkot is also the 22nd-fastest-growing city in the world. Rajkot is frequently referred to as "Rangilu Rajkot" (રંગીલુ રાજકોટ) meaning colorful Rajkot. The people of Rajkot like to enjoy themselves to the fullest no matter which season or time of the day. You can find them eating out at 1 am. Shopkeepers mostly close their business between 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm. Rajkot is famous for its jewellery market, silk embroidery and watch parts. The city hosts several small scale manufacturing industries. Some of the industrial products for which Rajkot is known include bearings, diesel engines, kitchen knives and other cutting appliances, watch parts (cases & bracelets), automotive parts, forging industry, casting industry, machine tools,submersible pumps share market and software development.Rajkot is also famous for its textile printing units, which produce cotton sulvar-suits and cotton print sarees, and also make a pure silk patoda.

It was in this very city of Rajkot that Eagle travels started its operations in the year 1978 with just 2 buses running between Rajkot - Mumbai under the aegis of our founder chairman Sh Rasiklal Damjibhai Golwala more out of a necessity. It was in the year 1971 when our founder chairman was given the responsibility to book bus in order to receive a marriage party arriving in Rajkot, Since the bus operator goofed up & Sh Rasiklal Damjilal
Golwala faced a lot of flax from his father,This incident became the root cause of the start of a travel company "Saurashtra Tourist Corporation" which today is known as Eagle Travels. Sh Rasiklal Damjilal Golwala started his operations in 1972 when he self drove a Dosz truck from Delhi & converted it into a bus. This bus was used for marriage & tourist work primarily when in the year 1976 Railway bridge at Damanaganga river collapsed due to heavy rains & the traffic was badly hit. It was in this year when for the first time the bus was made to run between Rajkot & Mumbai.  Such incidents raised the confidence of our founder chairman to take the plunge & start  bus services between Rajkot & Mumbai regularly.



Today Eagle travels boasts of a large fleet of over 200 buses which only not ply across 25 cities but are also preferred mode of transport for companies like TORRENT, TATA NANO,AMW,ESSAR etc..
 In order to celebrate our completion of 35 years in the service, Eagle travels has launched super premium luxury services between Rajkot - Mumbai via Ahmedabad under the brand name of  CLUB ONE.


Its our agenda everyday to bring more & more smiles to the faces of our passengers, a Mission which our founder chairman has given us.
