HCL Technologies coordinated with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to extend metro timings until 12.30 am exclusively for its employees after the Arijit Singh concert.
A viral video shows how HCL Technologies went beyond to ensure its employees could travel home safely with extended metro timings and free rides after a special concert by Arijit Singh.

According to Singh, HCL Technologies coordinated with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to extend metro timings until 12.30 am exclusively for its employees. The video shows staff members entering the station simply by showing their HCL ID cards, effectively granting them free access to the metro.
“These are all HCL employees and we have free entry and Metro access till 12:30. Like this is unbelievable, itni expectations nahi thi meri HCL se (I did not have this expectation from HCL),” Singh says in the video. He adds, “Aaj HCL walon ne Delhi Metro hi free kar diya hai, to be honest, this was the best part of the concert, (Today HCL has practically made the Delhi Metro free, to be honest, this was the best part of the concert.)”
The onscreen caption reads, “Perks of being a tech guy at HCLTech”.
