Mumbai: Namma Yatri, an open mobility platform built on ONDC principles, has announced a strategic partnership with OneBanc, India’s premium AI-powered Employer Money Tracking System (EMTS) for payroll, benefits, and expense automation. The collaboration marks the launch of Namma Yatri’s Corporate Ride Benefits, bringing transparent pricing, zero-commission rides, and predictable mobility to enterprise employees.
The partnership integrates employee travel, policy enforcement, expense capture, invoicing, and reconciliation within a single automated workflow. Corporate travel booked on Namma Yatri is automatically captured within OneBanc’s platform, validating route details, timestamps, merchant information, policy compliance, and GST documentation—eliminating manual effort and improving transparency for finance teams while ensuring fair earnings for drivers.
Commenting on the partnership, Shan MS, COO & Co-founder, Namma Yatri, said, “Namma Yatri was built on a simple belief that mobility works best when it is fair, transparent, and rooted in public digital infrastructure. Enterprises today are looking for the same values: predictability, accountability, and clean systems. Partnering with OneBanc allows us to bring open-network mobility into the enterprise ecosystem in a way that respects drivers, simplifies life for employees, and gives finance teams the clarity they have been seeking for years.”
Vibhore Goyal, Co-founder & CEO, OneBanc, added, “Namma Yatri’s operational excellence, driver-first model, and rapidly expanding presence across major Indian cities represent the future of open, sustainable mobility. Their transparent model aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver automation, compliance and predictability across the employee ecosystem. Integrating Namma Yatri enables enterprises to benefit from high-quality trip data, accurate invoices and dramatically reduced operational effort.”
According to Deloitte, India’s enterprise travel and expense (T&E) market is estimated at over $11–13 billion annually, with local transport and cab services accounting for $2.5–3 billion. Despite its scale, corporate mobility continues to suffer from opaque pricing, inconsistent mark-ups, and heavy manual reconciliation, while employees face unpredictable fares and cumbersome reimbursement processes.
An anonymised six-month analysis across a 9,500-employee technology services enterprise revealed corporate mark-ups on identical routes averaged 32% compared to personal profiles on traditional platforms. By adopting transparent mobility sourcing and automated processing, enterprises modelled over $10 million in annual savings while reducing reconciliation effort by nearly 78%.
Beyond cost efficiency, the partnership reinforces a people-first approach to mobility. Namma Yatri’s open-network model ensures drivers earn fairly, enterprises benefit from predictable pricing, clean audit trails, and faster settlement cycles. The collaboration will initially focus on large, distributed workforces in major Indian cities, with plans to scale across sectors including technology services, BFSI, manufacturing, and shared services.
