MapmyIndia CEO Rohan Verma criticized Ola's claim of creating its navigation map, calling it a gimmick. Verma argued that accurate maps need expertise and investment, which Ola lacks, leading to poor map quality.

After MapMyIndia accused Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal of copying its data to create Ola Maps, Aggarwal dismissed the claims, calling MapMyIndia "opportunistic" and vowed to respond later.

MapMyIndia sent a legal notice to Bhavish Aggarwal's Ola, accusing it of copying data to create Ola Maps, violating a 2021 license agreement. Ola launched Ola Maps in July, claiming it cut costs from ₹100 crore to zero.

After Google announced a 70% price cut for Google Maps in India, Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal mocked this move on social media, calling it "fake generosity".

On July 5, Ola announced it had switched from Google Maps to its own Ola Maps, following a recent exit from Microsoft Azure. CEO Bhavish Aggarwal revealed the change on Twitter, noting significant cost savings.

After reports went viral about Tesla pulling back from setting up factories in India, Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal tweeted that it’s Tesla’s loss, not India’s. He emphasized India's growing EV and Lithium industries.
