Ola Cabs fully exits Google Maps, uses in-house developed Ola maps, and saves up to Rs 100 crore.

Ola Maps gives precise and reliable navigation. This includes making routes more efficient, improving real-time traffic updates, and adding features that help both drivers and passengers.

Ola, the popular Indian ride-hailing company, has switched from using Google Maps to its own map service called Ola Maps. This change is expected to save Ola around Rs 100 crore every year, showing a big cost-saving move.

Ola started developing Ola Maps back in 2015 to improve how accurately they can find locations and to customize features specifically for their ride-hailing service. They put a lot of effort into gathering data, setting up infrastructure, and refining algorithms to make sure Ola Maps gives precise and reliable navigation. This includes making routes more efficient, improving real-time traffic updates, and adding features that help both drivers and passengers.

Moving away from Google Maps is part of Ola's plan to rely less on outside technology and build more of their tools. By using Ola Maps, they aim to run their operations better and give users a smoother experience while also cutting down on the costs of using other map services.

Ola's successful shift to Ola Maps shows they're good at creating and using advanced technology they develop in-house. This is a trend among tech companies—they want to have their own software to be more competitive and not rely too much on other companies.

Choosing to fully use Ola Maps is a big step for Ola—it shows they're growing their own technology and becoming more independent. This move should help Ola keep improving and expanding their ride-hailing services in India's competitive market, and maybe even branch out into new tech areas in the future.
