and

CEO Bhavish Aggarwal

announced on Friday that the

ride-hailing platform

has discontinued its app’s integration with

Google Maps

and replaced it with in-house

Ola Maps

. The move, according to Aggarwal, has enabled the company to save Rs 100 crore annually, he said in a post on X.
“After exiting Azure last month, we have now fully moved away from Google Maps.

Previously, we spent Rs 100 crore a year on this… we have reduced that cost to zero,” he stated.
