Embassy Office Parks REIT (NSE: EMBASSY / BSE: 542602) (‘Embassy REIT’), India’s first listed REIT and the largest office REIT in Asia by area, hosted the 11th edition of Embassy Pedal for the Planet at Embassy Manyata in Bengaluru. The event saw over 1,700 cyclists from Bengaluru and beyond come together for one of the city’s largest cycling events. Professional riders, amateur cycling enthusiasts, families and children took part in a morning that celebrated cycling, fitness, sustainable mobility and community.

Now in its 11th edition, Pedal for the Planet has grown into a signature Embassy initiative and a city-wide platform that encourages people to embrace cycling, active lifestyles and more sustainable ways of moving around the city.

Amit Shetty, Chief Executive Officer of Embassy REIT, said,

“Pedal for the Planet has grown over the years into an event that belongs to Bengaluru. It is wonderful to see so many people from across the city come together for the 11th edition. Cycling is one of the simplest ways to bring together fitness, community and sustainable mobility, while encouraging everyday choices that can collectively make our cities healthier and more sustainable. The enthusiasm we see year after year reflects the energy of this community, and we are proud to continue building this platform and creating a positive impact beyond our workplaces.”

As one of India’s landmark business parks, Embassy Manyata provided a fitting backdrop for the event. Home to over 150,000 employees, the park combines world-class workplaces with strong connectivity and a growing mix of amenities and experiences. Increasingly evolving beyond a workplace into a vibrant destination to connect, unwind and engage, Embassy Manyata offered an ideal setting for cyclists from across the city to come together.

The 2026 edition featured four ride categories for cyclists across age groups and experience levels - the 40 km Pro-Elite Ride, 25 km Amateur Ride, 15 km Fun Ride – Open and 2 km Fun Ride – Kids. The Pro-Elite and Amateur categories included separate races for men and women, while the Fun Rides offered a more relaxed cycling experience. Beyond the rides, the morning brought together wellness activities, entertainment, community experiences and awards, creating a lively celebration for participants and their families.

Sustainability remained at the heart of Pedal for the Planet 2026. One tree was pledged for every registration, alongside a no single-use plastic policy, responsible waste management practices and an electric scooter leading the races. Extending the impact beyond the event itself, all proceeds supported non-profit initiatives focused on the education of underprivileged children and the improvement of local schools.
