OLA - The Cab Revolution

Launch: 2010

Founders:  Bhavish Aggarwal, Ankit Bhati

Industry: Mobility

Estimated Valuation: $6.2 billion

Ola Cabs, started by IIT-B graduates Bhavish and Ankit, has emerged to be the most prominent Indian mobility service provider in the country that offers its services across 50 cities in India and is evenly spread across countries, including the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. 

The idea of Ola, a cab aggregation startup, came from Bhavish’s terrible experience. At the same time, he was traveling from Bengaluru to Bandipur, where the driver of his cab stranded him in the middle of nowhere over a failed negotiation deal.
