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 is just doing big cost cutting. If cards played well they can be selling this as an API, cheaper alternatives to the big giants. Not the best but get the job down at a lower price. I am feeling optimistic about this for the only reason is Ola can switch back to the maps or chat gpt anytime they want. They are just building cheaper alternatives not something new.
It's called nationalization. Did you study English or Hindi medium?
It has become much worse now. Many places I can’t find on Ola are available on Uber and Google maps.
Their maps in the initial days were 🤡🤡. I once booked an auto and the auto was coming in the reverse direction to my location according to the map. I even asked the auto driver whether he was driving with his reverse on.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bhavish is simply the Kangana Ranaut of Entrepreneurs.
The app experience has drastically gone down. It now takes longer to find places and 90% of the time the map captures incorrect pins. There is a reason why Google maps excelled and nobody has been able to beat them at tech.
Ola has just stepped on a big nail themselves by removing Google maps.
Correction, Here Technologies is the largest platform for the Maps, overall correctness and business wise. Although they have less focus on direct consumer side app.
I feel like it's similar to how Unacademy went about many different products I feel like they're trying too many big markets at the same time and trying to see if anything lands
Tough to see anything good coming about
As a customer, I should be able to do the bookings like before but that's not happening. I can't find a lot of places on the new map.
Just insert tiles on open street maps and voila u have Ola maps 😀
This guy gets a lot of shit on linkedin, don’t know him personally so not sure if rightly so or not.
People in Ola, how’s this whole make tech in india thing working out?
Ex Ola here. Everything this guy says is sham. Ola is a shit hole. Stay away from anything Ola sells. For data point ...
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?
Right now, OLA is a major player in EV scooters and is facing a lot of backlash for making it one of the least reliable scooters on the market.
Unlike other two-wheelers like Aether, Bajaj and Hero focus on reliability and add constant ...
With all these EVs catching fire and Ola not being able to turn a profit, Im curious to know if it really is a solid company or just an investor-money marketing hype? I mean most of the folks I know open Ola LAST, if Uber/Rapido/Blusmart...
