India - November 21, 2023
Ola Cabs, India's leading ride-hailing company, has partnered with ONDC, the government-backed Open Network for Digital Commerce, to revolutionize last-mile logistics in the country. The partnership will see Ola Cabs provide its logistics services for ONDC, starting as early as January next year.
Ola Cabs will be using its fleet of electric two-wheelers from Ola Electric to provide last-mile delivery services for ONDC. This will make Ola Cabs the first ride-hailing company in India to use electric vehicles for last-mile logistics.
The partnership is expected to have a significant impact on the last-mile logistics landscape in India. Ola Cabs has a wide network of delivery partners across the country, which will give ONDC access to a large fleet of vehicles. This will help ONDC to offer faster and more efficient delivery services to its customers.
In addition, the use of electric vehicles for last-mile logistics will help to reduce pollution and traffic congestion in Indian cities. This is a significant development, given that air pollution is a major problem in many Indian cities.
The partnership between Ola Cabs and ONDC is a welcome step towards revolutionizing last-mile logistics in India. It is expected to make last-mile delivery services faster, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly.
Quote from Bhavish Aggarwal, CEO of Ola Cabs:
"We are excited to partner with ONDC to revolutionize last-mile logistics in India. We believe that our partnership will make last-mile delivery services faster, more efficient, and more sustainable. We are also committed to using electric vehicles for last-mile logistics, which will help to reduce pollution and traffic congestion in Indian cities."
Quote from T Koshy, CEO of ONDC:
"We are pleased to partner with Ola Cabs to bring our vision of an open and fair digital commerce ecosystem to life. Ola Cabs' wide network of delivery partners and its commitment to using electric vehicles will be a valuable asset to ONDC.
