A family member books Ola online 10 minutes before leaving home. In no time the Ola cab comes and stands outside the gate. After this the entire family sits comfortably in the Ola and reaches their destination. But do you know the story of the start of Ola cab service, it is very interesting.

Ola service was launched by IIT graduate Bhavish Agarwal. Interestingly, he came up with the idea of starting this cab service after a fight with the driver. One day Bhavish Agarwal was going somewhere in a taxi. But before alighting at the destination, the cab driver asked for more fare. Bhavish had an argument with his taxi driver. This made him think why not start a cab service where the fares are low. Moreover, the driver should also have good behavior. Be responsible for his work. People should be able to book a taxi sitting at home.
In fact, Bhavish Agarwal was going on a weekend trip with his friends by hiring a taxi from Bangalore to Bandipur. But the driver stopped his car in the middle and started demanding more than the fixed price. People explain a lot to the driver but he doesn’t agree. Bhavish and his friends had to complete the journey to Bandipur by bus. Meanwhile, the dispute with the taxi driver kept on Bhavish’s mind. After that the idea of starting Ola taxi service came to his mind.

The decision to leave a good job and start a cab service was not an easy one. While sharing this idea with the family members, they did not agree. However, Bhavish Agarwal did not give up. In the year 2011, he started Ola Cabs in Bangalore along with Ankit Bhati. His idea became successful in no time. Gradually Ola cab service expanded across the country. Today, Ola app is downloaded on billions of smartphones in the country. Whenever someone needs to go somewhere, they only book Ola. Ola Cab is worth 4.8 billion dollars which is Rs. 39832 crores.
