The India-based ride-hailing company founded by Bhavish Aggarwal is Ola.
Aggarwal and Ankit Bhati launched Ola Cabs in India after Aggarwal established Olatrip.com, a travel and trip-planning business. The company began in 2011 as a taxi-aggregation service, connecting customers with drivers and allowing bookings through phone calls before introducing its mobile app in 2012.
Ola grew into one of India's best-known mobility platforms, offering services such as city taxis, rentals and outstation travel. Its expansion reflected a broader shift in India toward app-based transport, especially as smartphone use and digital payments spread.
The alternatives are major competitors from other markets: Grab is associated primarily with Southeast Asia, Didi with China, and Uber with the United States. Ola is the only choice listed that matches both the Indian origin and Bhavish Aggarwal's role. The brand later broadened its identity beyond taxi aggregation and became known as Ola Consumer.
