OLA CABS

VISION Ola!

Ever decided to take a weekend holiday from the city, but spent hours finding a car rental? Or taken one on the reference of a friend, only to have the operator leave you stranded in the middle and make you miss an important business meeting? Or did the cab just not show up?

Well, we've faced the same problems too. And we decided to help fix it. So we've created Olacabs.com, a marketplace for all types of cabs and car rentals. It's very simple: You enter your city and your need. We search the available inventory of our partners and provide you with a list of results and prices of different available cars from different operators. You can see our rating of that operator, what other customers said of them, and then book it right here on Olacabs.com. Or you can call us and we'll help you through the process! It's that simple!

We are a young and energetic company based in Mumbai. Nothing excites us more than using technology to bring the same efficiency and customer experience to the car rental industry that you expect from flights!

TEAM Bhavish Aggarwal, Co-Founder and CEO: 

Bhavish drives the company's vision and manages customer and partner relations. He graduated with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Bombay in 2008 and worked at Microsoft Research for 2 years after that. He had a wonderful time there, filing 2 patents and publishing 3 papers in International Journals. But the entrepreneurial itch was too hard to resist and he decided to quit his job in August 2010 and moved to Mumbai to start Olacabs!

When not talking to Cab operators and customers, He loves cycling and playing squash and most recently spent a whole week cycling in the beautiful Nilgiris! He also enjoys photography and maintains a photoblog.

Ankit heads the technical aspects of Olacabs, ensuring a quick, convenient and instinctive experience for our customers and partners. He joined IIT Bombay in 2004 for Btech in Mechanical Engg and MTech in CAD and Automation. By 2009 he had already worked on several freelance projects and startups like Wilcom, QED42 etc. and finally decided to give up his nomadic professional life for a start-up of his own. He joined the Olacabs journey in November 2010.

When not engrossed with his laptop, he loves to travel (preferably, to a beach) and often joins Bhavish in his cycling trips.
