Ola replaces Google Maps with in-house ‘Ola Maps’, announces API for developers

On Friday, Ola co-founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal announced that the company is exiting Google Maps in favour of its in-house Ola Maps. In an X post, Aggarwal wrote, “We used to spend 100 crores a year, but we’ve made that 0 this month by moving completely to our in-house Ola Maps!”

This comes months after the company transitioned from Microsoft Azure to an in-house cloud infrastructure to power the ecosystem and also to run the company’s large language model (LLM) Krutrim.
