In private employment, the question of transfer does not arise. If the private employment is a private company and has a branch at the place where your wife is working, you can request your employer to transfer on spouse grounds.

Spousal place transfer cannot be claimed as a right even by the government employees.
Your subject is that whether there can be a spousal transfer rights between the spouses who are working in government service and private sector.
It cannot be claimed a a right, however if the private employer accedes to the request of his employee, he may consider the same on humanitarian grounds.

Yes, there is no such right even when both the spouses happen to be Government employees, however, there are some liberal norms to be followed in such cases.
In the instant case, the private employer is bound by such norms. Still then, the transfer of the husband is ground for seeking transfer.
