Ola Cabs



               BY  DIVAKAR KUMAR PANDAY


 Ola Cabs (stylised as OLΛ), is an Indian ridesharing company (TNC) offering services that include peer-to-peer ridesharing, ride service hailing, taxi and food delivery. ..


Founded: 3 December 2010, Mumbai

CEO: Bhavish Aggarwal 

Founders: Bhavish Aggarwal, Ankit Bhati

Headquarters location: Bengaluru



The Indian taxi hailing industry is valued to be close to $10 billion. A lucrative and relatively untapped market such as this is bound to attract a lot of attention from entrepreneurs in India and around the world. Capitalising on this opportunity, Bhavish Aggarwal and Ankit Bhati launched India’s very own cab hailing startup, Ola.


The idea behind Ola came to Bhavish Aggarwal after he found himself stranded in the middle of the road on his way to Bandipur from Bangalore. Bhavish’s cab driver stopped the car in the middle of the journey and demanded a renegotiation of what Bhavish was paying and then proceeded to abandon him by the side of the road. Understanding the plight of travellers everywhere, he saw the amount of potential that an extraordinary cab booking service could have in this country. In 2010, he changed his business model from a holiday and tour planning company to a taxi hailing firm.

Joined by his co founder Ankit Bhati, Ola was launched in December 2010 as Ola Cabs. The taxi aggregator efficiently bridges the gap between cab owners and commuters adding a touch of technology to make lives and transportation easier. The company partners with drivers and cab owners to offer a variety of cab services to commuters across India. Leveraging the best of technology and building innovative solutions, the company expanded to reach 50+ cities by 2015. Serving 200,000 rides per day, which roughly translated to 6 million riders per month, the taxi hailing startup grew at a rate of over 40%.


However, the Ola journey was not as smooth as booking a cab on the app. In 2012, both the founders got a wake up call in the form of a website outage. Ankit Bhati, the Chief Technology Officer, who was in Bangalore at the time had to stay on call the entire night with the one man technology team in Mumbai to solve the issue. But that did not stop the duo. They shifted base from Mumbai to Bangalore and launched their mobile app, stepping up their game. The first version of the app, however, was a one touch destination for booking cabs.

IIT से IIM और फिर पहले प्रयास में IAS, प्रत्युष पांडे ने ऐसे तय किया निरंतर सफलताओं का सफर

                    BY   MY COLLEGE NOTIFIER केवल 24 साल की उम्र में नई दिल्ली के प्रत्युष पांडे ने इतना कुछ हासिल कर लिया है, जिसकी लोग केवल कल्पना ही करते रह जाते हैं. जहां ताउम्र लोग एक सफलता के लिए तरसते हैं वहीं प्रत्युष ने मात्र 24 साल की उम्र में अपने क्षेत्र के सबसे नामी संस्थानों में एडमिशन लेकर दिखा दिया कि कुछ लोग केवल सफल होने के लिए ही बने होते हैं. हालांकि इसके पीछे उनकी सालों की तपस्या और कड़ी मेहनत होती है फिर भी साल दर साल यूं सफल होते जाना आसान नहीं होता. प्रत्युष ने कानपुर आईआईटी से ग्रेजुएशन किया है और आईआईएम अहमदाबाद से एमबीए. दोनों ही संस्थान अपने क्षेत्र में सर्वोत्तम माने जाते हैं. इसके बाद जिस साल प्रत्युष का पीजी पूरा हुआ उसी साल उन्होंने अपने पहले प्रयास में ही यूपीएससी परीक्षा भी पास की. यही नहीं वे 21वीं रैंक के साथ टॉपर्स की सूची में भी शामिल हुए. मार्च 2019 में उन्होंने एमबीए किया और इसी साल बने आईएएस. कड़ी मेहनत और धैर्य के अलावा आइये जानते हैं क्या रहे प्रत्युष के सक्सेज टूल. सही रास्ता चुनने के लिए खर्च करें कुछ समय  दिल्ली नॉलेज ट्रैक को दिए इंटरव्यू
