We have hired through social, made some super awesome product releases from suggests that we got here, internalized generous feedback and appreciation and most importantly, continue to get a perspective about anything Ola!

Something for Everyone

We made some noise a couple of months back with our version 2 of Android and iPhone app. While the added features like Ride later and Ola Money were disruptive in more ways than one, we loved the way you came back to us asking for more. We’ve worked harder to get these out to you sooner than we had planned. And there’s something for everyone in this release!

We just unveiled v2.1 into both markets with a host of more awesome features. This makes the app more complete and your one-stop shop to move around your city. What’s new? Read on!

Spread love, ride free!

We asked ourselves, how could we make your paying process rewarding and easy? Rewarding, so that you can gain by spreading the love. Easy, so that you don’t have to leave behind those 33 bucks with the driver simply because you didn’t have change! More on the making it easy part later.

Spread love, ride free!

Looking back on Feb 20, 21 in Delhi & Bangalore

In the wake of the 2 day auto strike in Bangalore and Delhi, we decided to ply and at auto fares to top that. This wasn’t a very tough call to take against capitalizing on the occasion to rake in the moolah. We just did an internal check on what was our purpose of existence. It was loud and clear- solving the ground transportation problem. And such a day, was not the right day to capitalize. We were conscious about the fact that emergency needs in these two days would be hit- women, kids, senior citizens would face the brunt and we wanted to give it all we had, if possible more.

Feb 20 & 21, by all fair standards were two days of hyperactivity at Ola. Let’s list down for you, what what multiple teams were upto in these two days.

800 entries, 6 categories and a super-accomplished jury makes the IDA ’13 one cool award and we’d like to take a minute to thank you for this.
