How could ola bring in olamaps so fast?

It took years for Google maps to bring the services to current level and still have many engineering and support teams across the world just for this segment. Then how could olamaps launch as an alternative. Is it an equivalent?

What's your opinion on Ola's nationifacation of their products.

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. 😁

So which Maps api did they make a wrapper for?

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

How is ola for a product manager ?

I am being interviewed by Ola right now. I want to know from Ola folks or non Ola folks who know people working in ola regarding work culture (I heard it's shitty). Salary expectations (I have experience of 8 years). Perks, benefits, growth etc.
