MapMyIndia has filed a lawsuit against Ola Electric for allegedly stealing company data to create Ola Maps

Lately Ola's founder Bhavish has been discontinuing their dependencies on foreign products ranging from their own cloud servers to their own GPT's which people are specualting is just a wrapper over ChatGPT and lately launched their own Ola Maps which is itself a wrapper over OpenStreetMap. Will this benefit Indian Companies to compete with the global ones or will it just die down eventually. Ola folks can shed some light on it. 😁

OLA unveiled Ola maps lol. Any idea which maps api they’re using now and calling it their own for marketing purposes?

- MapmyIndia CEO Rohan Verma has criticized Ola-parent ANI Technologies' claim of developing a navigational map of India, calling it a 'gimmick'. - Verma questioned the financial and technical feasibility of Ola's map, which is reportedly developed by Geospoc Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of ANI Technologies. - He dismissed any business risk from Ola Maps, citing poor quality and user complaints about Ola's updated apps. - An Ola spokesperson refuted Verma's statements, accusing MapmyIndia of trying to stay relevant by maligning competitors. - MapmyIndia sent a legal notice to Ola on July 23 for breach of a 2021 licence agreement related to navigation APIs and SDKs.
