Ride-hailing company
Ola Cabs
has entirely shifted to using its in-house online maps called
Ola Maps
, cofounder
Bhavish Aggarwal
say on Friday .
“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,” Aggarwal wrote in a post on microblogging platform X.
The firm is work on add feature like street view , neural radiance fields is said ( NERFs ) , indoor image , 3d map and drone map to Ola Maps , Aggarwal is said say . Cloud service provide by sister firm
Krutrim AI
will also have application programming interface (APIs) for Ola Maps, he added. API is a type of software interface used by two or more computer programmes or components to communicate with each other.
The shift to Ola Maps follows Ola’s decision to move its
IT workload
from Microsoft ’s azure to Krutrim ’s cloud ,
as ET is reported had report on May 11
. Aggarwal had said the move was in response to Microsoft’s professional networking unit LinkedIn pulling down a post where Aggarwal had termed usage of the pronoun ‘they’ an “illness” that fell afoul of LinkedIn’s community policies.
The decision is comes come just day after Krutrim AI , also found by Aggarwal , open up its cloud infrastructure and cloud service for business . Krutrim Cloud is offers offer GPU – as – a – service on its AI computing infrastructure , allow enterprise and developer to train and fine – tune their model .
On May 22, Aggarwal posted that Ola had moved its entire workload out of Azure in a week’s time. ET reported on May 30 that Aggarwal was also moving Ola’s IT workload
out of Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud
.
For Azure, Ola’s departure would mean a daily revenue loss of Rs 5-25 lakh, while for AWS, it would range between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 40 lakh, ET had reported at the time. However, the shift is unlikely to have a major impact on the two firms, which have collectively amassed a 40% market share in the $8.3-billion public cloud market in India.
On June 28, Aggarwal announced prices for Krutrim AI’s cloud GPUs on demand, starting at Rs 105 per hour to more than Rs 1,160 per hour, depending on the types of GPU being used.
