Parking and mobility, managed end to end.

Cyber City in Gurugram and BKC in Mumbai are two of India's densest corporate districts, and parking supply in both has not kept pace with the office space built around them. Most occupiers hit the same wall: the building's allotted parking covers only a fraction of actual headcount, and additional allotment from the landlord is either unavailable or priced at a premium.

The pattern across clients in these micro-markets is similar. Facility and admin teams first try informal arrangements with nearby buildings, which are hard to scale or guarantee month to month. The more durable fix is a managed overflow arrangement: a fixed set of additional slots secured from verified parking locations within walking or shuttle distance, booked under a single contract rather than negotiated building by building, with accountability sitting with one provider instead of the facility team.

A parking slot that is a 12-minute walk from the office entrance solves the parking problem and creates a new one: employees now spend 20 to 25 minutes a day getting from the car to the desk and back. Where overflow parking sits outside the main campus, that gap becomes a recurring complaint, especially after dark.

Valet and shuttle solve different parts of this. Valet removes the walk at the office end, with trained staff parking and retrieving the car, which matters most where drop-off space is tight relative to vehicle count. A shuttle, usually a Tempo Traveller on a fixed loop, closes the distance when the parking location is further out, moving employees on a schedule rather than each arranging their own transport. Most overflow contracts end up combining both, run as one integrated service rather than two separate vendors.

The two numbers facility teams usually compare are the monthly lease rate for a dedicated lot near the office, and the per-slot rate quoted by a managed parking provider. On rate alone, a long-term lease often looks cheaper. The comparison changes once the full cost of a leased facility is counted in: security staffing, access control, housekeeping, insurance and liability, and the admin time spent managing all of it in-house.

A lease also carries utilisation risk: headcount fluctuates with hybrid work policies and hiring, but a lease is fixed for its term regardless of how many slots are used on a given day. A managed contract is typically sized to current headcount, which converts a fixed cost into a variable one. Leasing can still be the right call at very large, stable headcounts running near full utilisation for years; for offices managing fluctuating or overflow demand, a managed contract usually carries lower operational overhead.
