Ola’s navigation map: MapmyIndia CEO Rohan Verma dismisses claims as ‘announcements, gimmicks,’ raises quality concerns

MapmyIndia has openly questioned the legitimacy of Ola’s announcement regarding the development of a new navigational map of India. In an exclusive interview with PTI, Rohan Verma, CEO and Executive Director of MapmyIndia, labeled Ola’s claims as a “gimmick.”

The controversy stems from Ola Electric’s recent Red Herring Prospectus, which stated that Ola Maps is supplied by Geospoc Pvt Ltd, a startup acquired by ANI Technologies, Ola’s parent company. Verma expressed scepticism about this claim, citing the substantial investment and expertise required to develop a comprehensive digital map of a country as large as India.
