Ola’s driver mela

The three-day driver mela organised by Ola at Maruthi Gardens in Lakdi ka pul, as part of its entrepreneurship drive for their drivers concluded on Friday.

Upto thousand drivers from the city participated in the drive, which presented them an opportunity to buy a car through the company's partnerships with car manufacturers including Tata, Maruti, Hyundai, Nissan, Mahindra, Renault, Toyota and Chevrolet.

Adding to the attraction, the mela allowed for drivers to book a car on the spot by making a token payment of Rs 3,000 to the manufacturer. This will allow them to book cars with a down payment of Rs 65,000.

Ravi Teja, Business Head, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh at Ola, said, “Ola’s partnerships with leading car manufactures and financial institutions will go a long way in fulfilling our commitment of personal and professional well-being of driver partners by not only providing employment opportunity but also access to increased income. This initiative and more such partnerships in the coming months will be a major step in that direction. We will continue to take such initiatives to further the professional growth of our driver-partners.”
