Bengaluru’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) employees endure an average commute of 50 minutes for a distance of around 15 km one way, with Wednesdays marking the peak in cab bookings. According to MoveInSync’s 2025 quarterly report, which highlights commuting patterns based on data from GCC clients in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and the National Capital Region, the city hosts nearly 30% of India’s GCCs, with a 41% increase in establishments between 2019 and 2024. These offices are mainly located along areas such as Outer Ring Road, Whitefield, and Electronics City, requiring longer commutes.

The report also notes that many companies are adopting hybrid work models, with employees typically traveling to the office two to three days a week. Of these, Wednesdays account for the highest number of cab bookings, peaking at 82,000 compared to 61,000 on Fridays. Bengaluru’s GCC employees also take an impressive 45,000 electric vehicle (EV) trips each month, indicating a rising shift towards sustainable commuting.

Deepesh Agarwal, CEO of MoveInSync, underscored the need for efficient and eco-friendly commute options as GCCs grow across India. Traffic management on the Outer Ring Road is a major concern for employees, who experience significant delays due to poor traffic control and a lack of public transport options. The upcoming Namma Metro Yellow Line is expected to alleviate traffic congestion, enhance connectivity, and reduce pollution, providing much-needed relief to the city’s commuters.
