Every evening, hatchbacks and tempo travellers throng the Outer Ring Road of Bengaluru, a city that more than a million tech professionals call their home. With its 67,000 registered IT firms, 16,000 startups, numerous banks, and 400 of Fortune 500 companies, the city doesn’t sleep, indeed.
Company cabs aren’t just enough to ferry an ever-increasing brigade of tech professionals working 24×7 in Bengaluru. Most enterprises, therefore, depend on vendors like MoveInSync, Routematic, and Rego Cabs that operate in the corporate commute space. Global mobility giant Uber too rolled into this bustling market for employee transportation services (ETS) earlier this year.
