Arrive is strengthening its technology presence in India with a new 20,000 sq. ft. innovation hub in Bengaluru. The centre will bring together engineering, product, customer care, sales operations and AI teams, and is expected to become a key global base for product development and technology capabilities.
Arrive operates mobility brands including EasyPark, Flowbird, RingGo, ParkMobile and Parkopedia across more than 20,000 cities in 90 countries. Its solutions cover autonomous vehicle management, smart payments, parking optimisation, traffic management and public transport.
The Bengaluru centre is expected to grow to a few hundred employees by early next year, with most of the team focused on engineering. CEO Cameron Clayton said the facility will be an AI-first centre, with employees expected to use AI “sort of immediately”.
Clayton said the company’s AI strategy is linked to its goal of making cities more livable. In 2025, Arrive processed 2 billion mobility payment transactions. The company estimated that each transaction saved an average of 3 minutes, adding up to 6,300 years of time returned to cities. “With AI and with this team here in Bangalore, we expect that to grow from six thousand to ten thousand, to fifteen thousand, to beyond,” Clayton said.
The Bengaluru team will also develop autonomous vehicle solutions for US cities including San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta. Arrive said the centre is not being created as a traditional back-office operation. “We’re not only bringing back office here. We don’t think about it like that.”
Instead, the company wants the team to improve existing operations, using mobility data to support better decisions and continuous innovation. COO Jérôme Selva said the goal is to take user insights and “fuel it into that infinite loop for continuous feedback and continuous innovation.”
Arrive chose Bengaluru after evaluating multiple Indian cities, citing its talent pool, skills, experience and partner ecosystem. The company plans to invest in training and education to make employees “more employable while they’re here.”
India, Africa and South America are among Arrive’s key growth regions. Clayton said India “has to be a market for us in the future.”
