Ola Maps reliability issues according to MapmyIndia CEO

Rohan Verma, CEO of MapmyIndia, has criticized ANI Technologies, the parent company of Ola, for what he describes as “gimmick” promises related to their navigational maps of India. Verma questioned the credibility of Ola’s map service, which allegedly involves a startup named Geospoc Pvt Ltd, after receiving a legal notice from Ola Electric.

Verma expressed skepticism about the quality of Ola’s maps, stating that he does not view them as a business threat because they lack sufficient quality. This skepticism is echoed by numerous users who have complained about the poor performance of Ola’s revamped taxi and electric vehicle apps. Despite the promotional claims, the actual product has been widely criticized for its subpar map quality.

This dispute follows a licensing agreement signed on July 23, 2021, between Ola Electric and MapmyIndia. The deal allowed Ola to use MapmyIndia’s APIs and SDKs. MapmyIndia alleges that Ola breached the terms of this agreement. In response, Ola has strongly denied these accusations, suggesting that they are an attempt by MapmyIndia to undermine their competition.

Verma emphasized that map development is a complex and resource-intensive process that requires significant expertise and investment. He noted that only a few companies have succeeded in this field internationally, and it is implausible for a company to suddenly produce high-quality maps without a solid track record. Verma also cautioned against relying on competing map services, urging consumers to be wary of products that might lack accuracy and reliability.
