Ola has replaced Google Maps with its in-house service, Ola Maps.
Before this, Ola parted ways with Microsoft’s Azure platform.
Ola Maps will provide improved and faster navigation for its cabs and other services.
This shift will allow the company to save roughly Rs 100 crore every year.
The company also claims the platform has reduced its costs to zero by moving to Ola Maps.
Ola maps will soon include features like street view, NERFs, indoor photos, 3D maps, and drone mapping.
Ola plans to share a blog post on how map feature was built.
Ola Maps aspires to be the country’s only Google Maps competitor.
Ola is eyeing to minimise its need for suppliers.
The company is also investing in research on solid-state batteries for their electric scooters.
