The country’s largest mobility platform Ola on Friday, committed a sum of ₹500 crore towards safety in mobility initiatives globally, over the next year, in the fight against Covid-19.

Ola has resumed operations across the country and is now available in 200+ cities with enhanced safety protocols. Unveiling its initiative ‘Ride Safe India’, Ola reaffirmed its long-term focus to providing driver-partners and citizens, a safe and reliable mobility experience.

Safety measures

‘Ride Safe India’ centres on Ola’s commitment to go beyond and enable customers and drivers partners to collectively enjoy the highest standards of cleanliness with prevention and sanitisation protocols. This will cover all modes of Ola’s offerings, be it 4-wheelers, 3-wheelers and 2-wheelers. Ola has set up a network of over 500 fumigation centres across the country at various hotspots and airports, to enable mandatory fumigation for all vehicles every 48 hours. This will be above and beyond the routine wipe downs and sanitisation of high touch surfaces of vehicles by drivers after every ride.

“Mobility is at the core of economic and social progress and the country at this time needs substantive action and sustained innovation to be able to revive from the effects of the pandemic. ‘Ride Safe India’ is Ola’s commitment to helping the industry raise its benchmarks and collectively bring best practices and innovation for the larger good of the community” said Anand Subramanian, Spokesperson and Head of Communications, Ola.

Citizens and driver-partners will also be able to access the Ride Safe India Microsite, which will have information on Ola’s safety initiatives across the platform, community and the industry. Ola is also inviting feedback and ideas from citizens through this platform, that can help towards building a safer mobility ecosystem for the country.
