MapmyIndia CEO calls Ola Maps a gimmick, warns people to be cautious - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

In the first interview with PTI after sending a legal notice to Ola Electric, MapmyIndia CEO and Executive Director Rohan Verma questioned Ola's claim that the map has been supplied by a startup Geospoc Pvt Ltd, which was acquired and became a subsidiary of ANI Technologies, based on its financial records as developing a digital navigational map of large country like India requires huge investments and expertise.

Homegrown digital navigation firm MapmyIndia has questioned claims of Ola-parent ANI Technologies on developing a navigational map of India and called the announcement a "gimmick".

People are complaining left, right and centre, about their (Ola) updated cab app, their updated electric vehicle app, that their maps are pathetic and causing users problems.
