UDAIPUR: Hindustan Zinc Limited, the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and one of the world’s top ten silver producers, has partnered with Uber for Business to digitise corporate mobility for its employees. The collaboration introduces a dedicated Hindustan Zinc Limited Business Profile within the Uber app, integrating ride booking, direct corporate billing and travel management to simplify official travel across the company.
Through the partnership, employees can switch between personal and business profiles within their existing Uber app and access Uber for Business across 120+ cities in India. The solution will support official travel requirements including business meetings, site visits, airport transfers, client engagements and inter-city travel, including cities where Hindustan Zinc has a presence through its head office, sister organisations and regional offices.
A key feature of the partnership is the integration of corporate billing into the travel experience. By digitising the journey from booking to billing, the initiative is expected to simplify travel administration while providing employees greater flexibility in managing official mobility.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Amarendu Prakash, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, said, “As we continue to build a more digitally enabled and agile workplace, we are increasingly looking at technology not only to transform our operations, but also to simplify everyday experiences for our employees. Our partnership with Uber for Business brings business mobility onto a platform that is already familiar to our people, giving them greater comfort and access to a trusted ride partner while removing complexities across booking, billing and travel management.”
This platform enables employees to also reserve rides in advance, providing greater predictability for planned business journeys. The mobility experience also incorporates Uber’s built-in safety features and 24×7 support, alongside dedicated Uber for Business and Uber Safety Support, providing additional assistance to employees during official travel.
“As business travel evolves, organisations are looking for mobility solutions that offer greater convenience, flexibility and reliability. We are pleased to partner with Hindustan Zinc to simplify employee mobility and provide its workforce with access to solutions that support a range of business travel needs.” Sudipt Agarwal, Head of Enterprise Sales, Uber for Business India
The partnership forms part of Hindustan Zinc’s broader focus on embedding technology across the organisation. The company has been advancing automation, artificial intelligence, Industrial IoT and remote operating capabilities across its mining and processing value chain, while increasingly deploying digital solutions across enterprise processes. The Uber for Business collaboration extends this technology-led approach to employee mobility, combining digital convenience with simplified business processes.
