Ola
#6 in Taxi App · Rated 4.3
India’s leading ride-hailing platform with broad city coverage
Ola (formerly Ola Cabs) launched in 2010 and is headquartered in Bengaluru. It rapidly expanded across India to hundreds of cities and operated internationally for several years, but in 2024-2025 the company re-focused on India, exiting some international markets to streamline profitability. Ola offers card payments, OlaMoney, upi and other digital payment methods (where supported), enabling cashless rides across its Indian network. The platform is widely used for taxi and auto-rickshaw bookings, with ongoing product expansions in mobility, payments and related services. Growth remains strong in India, though international activity has been reduced in recent years. ([olacabs.com](https://www.olacabs.com/about?utm_source=openai))
