Ola moved to its in-house app last month. “After Azure exit last month, we’ve now fully exited google maps. We used to spend ₹100 cr a year but we’ve made that 0 this month by moving completely to our in house Ola maps! Check your Ola app and update if needed,” CEO Bhavish Aggarwal said in a post on X then.

Here’s what the X user wrote

Dear @bhash, your “in-house, indigenous, made in India” Ola Maps is absolutely trash. My droplocation was incorrectly mapped on the app so I was dropped off 1.5km away from my destination. And your app offers no help. Copy toh dhang se kar lete bhai
Reacting to the latest post, an X user said “Seems their coders have started using ₹ replacing $,” taking a dig at Aggarwal’s latest keyboard suggestion to replace $ with ₹. “Yesterday i booked a parcel delivery and marked for correct location as on maps the driver is 3kms away from the pickup and calls me i am at the location,” said another user.
“I have raised the same issue with them. Even after 2 weeks i have not been refunded. They are saying the location is correct. But there is no such place at that location. I was dropped 1km away from the actual location,” said another.
