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. 😁

Krutrim OS soon?

What OS will Bhavish use to release the best Indian operating system and remove dependency on foreign companies? My guess is he knows if he gets into b2c business with his tech they will get killed.
