Ride-hailing service Ola expanded its operations in the UK by launching a fleet of Bajaj and Piaggio autorickshaws in Liverpool.
These autorickshaws will be called ‘tuk tuks’ and Liverpool will be the fifth city in the UK to launch Ola service.
To celebrate the launch in Liverpool, Ola has offered free rides to customers and the service is expected to expand to other cities in the ensuing year.
Ola started its operations in the UK by introducing services in Cardiff and expanded to Bristol, Bath and Exter by the end of 2018.
Locked in a bruising battle for market leadership with US-based rival Uber in India as well as in markets like Australia, New Zealand and the UK, Ola has been aggressively ramping up its ride-hailing platform and food delivery operations.
ANI Technologies, which operates Ola, counts among its investor's names like SoftBank Group, Tiger Global and Sequoia India.
