After MapMyIndia accused Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal of plagiarising its data to build Ola Maps, Aggarwal today said he'll deal with "opportunistic players" at the "right time".
"It is opportunistic of MapMyIndia; there are opportunistic players everywhere. We will respond to them at the right time," Aggarwal was heard saying by Moneycontrol.
Ola launched Ola Maps as an alternative to Google Maps and transitioned its operations away from Google Maps to its in-house mapping service. CE Info Systems, the parent company of MapMyIndia, sent a legal notice to Ola Electric, claiming that the company had copied MapMyIndia's data.
In 2022, Ola Electric partnered with MapMyIndia to provide navigation services for its S1 Pro electric scooter.
Later Ola's spokesperson denied accepting the allegations made by MapMyIndia.
The spokesperson said Ola would like to state unequivocally that these allegations are false, malicious and misleading. He added that Ola Electric stands by the integrity of its business practices, and they will suitably respond to the notice shortly.
Ola Electric is also set to go public on the stock exchange on August 2.
