Tech parks we serve in GIFT City
Inside the SEZ, roads are wide, signalled and uncongested — GIFT's operational difficulty is not traffic, it is access control and distance. The 25 km arc from West Ahmedabad passes the Vaishnodevi Circle and Adalaj choke-points, and the last 400 metres at the security gate is where unprepared vendors lose 10-20 minutes per trip. Plan for the gate, not the highway.

GIFT City commute problems, and how we solve them
IFSC pass administration — every new vehicle, replacement vehicle and relief chauffeur needs SEZ clearance before it can enter.
We hold a dedicated IFSC-cleared vehicle and chauffeur pool for GIFT contracts, with pass expiry tracked in the compliance engine on 90/30/7-day alerts and relief chauffeurs cleared in advance so a sick-day never becomes a gate refusal. New GIFT contract onboarding runs 21 days end-to-end including pass issuance.
Night-shift movement on global-market hours, with women employees travelling between 20:00 and 06:00.
Escort protocol, first-pickup/last-drop rules, in-cab AI camera, rider OTP, live trip-share to a nominated contact and one-tap SOS into our 24x7 control tower run on every GIFT night route — with the female-window on-time SLA contracted separately and financially backed.
The 25 km arc from Ahmedabad quietly converting a booked package into an overage bill through garage and positioning kilometres.
Trip meters start at a defined staging point inside the pickup catchment — Vaishnodevi Circle for GIFT-bound runs, never the chauffeur's home garage in Naroda or Chandkheda. Zero garage KM is written into the SLA.
Visiting fund managers and IFSCA delegations arriving at AMD with no gate pass and a hard meeting time.
Visitor IDs and vehicle numbers are pre-loaded with GIFT security before the flight lands, the chauffeur is staged 45 minutes ahead against live flight data, and a named backup vehicle sits within 8 minutes of the tower.
Night-shift safety for women employees in GIFT City
- Escort or verified male co-passenger for women on 20:00-06:00 drops
- A woman is never the first pickup or last drop without an escort
- Chauffeurs carry a PSV badge and go through police verification before deployment
- Live GPS tracking and an SOS button in the employee app
- Drop confirmation: the trip closes only when the employee confirms they reached home
- 24/7 control tower watches route deviation and long stops
Fixed, rotating or hybrid: transport that matches how your GIFT City teams work
We study your roster first, then put each team on the right model. In GIFT City: GIFT City offices mostly run fixed and hybrid shifts with long Ahmedabad commutes, so shuttles with set pickup points work best.
| Compare | 01 Fixed shiftsSame time, every day | 02 Rotating shifts24x7 rosters | 03 Hybrid / flexibleOffice on chosen days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Offices on a 9-to-6 style day, plants with set shift timings, back-office teams. | BPO, GCC support, IT operations, hospitals and teams working US or UK hours. | Teams coming in 2-3 days a week, flexible start times, changing headcount. |
| How routes work | Fixed routes and fixed pickup points, set once and reviewed each month. | Routes rebuilt for every login and logout window from the latest roster. | Employees book the day before; routes are planned from those bookings only. |
| Vehicles | Regular chauffeurs and the same vehicle on each route; buses and Tempo Travellers for big groups. | Sedans and SUVs for night drops, larger vehicles for busy shift changes. | Vehicle size changes daily with bookings, so seats don't run empty. |
| Night safety | Known chauffeurs and known routes; escort rules apply to any late or early drop. | Escorts on night drops, no woman first pickup or last drop alone, drop confirmation. | Same night-drop rules; bookings closed late are still checked against safety rules. |
| Usual pricing model | Per trip or dedicated vehicle per month. | Per km or per trip, depending on how spread out addresses are. | Per seat, so you pay for who actually travels. |
| In the software | Monthly route plan, attendance by boarding, on-time reports. | Roster upload or sync, shift-wise routing, no-show tracking, night-drop alerts. | Employee booking in the app, cut-off times, daily seat use reports. |
