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. 😁

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.

They are not building anything, they are just taking open source projects and building their own wrapper and presenting it as their own. Ola's founder copies everything and then lectures to not copy from foreign businesses

It's called nationalization. Did you study English or Hindi medium?

Nationalisation is an entirely different thing. It’s when a government takes over control of a business or industry.

Dense of you to make linguistic remarks aimed at the Author.

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.

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.
