Ola Partner World is our dedication to what we think is the largest group of micro-entrepreneurs on any platform in this country to make their professional and personal lives easier," said Vishal Kaul, Chief Operating Officer, Ola. "We are thrilled to be enabling professional and personal growth for both our driver partners and their families, by giving them access to best in class support and services, all under one roof.”
