OLA is already a popular brand from Bengaluru, India. The only company that gave tough competition to Uber. And now the company has announced its new vehicle commerce platform, Ola Cars to assist consumers in selling their old and buying a new car. The company will enable consumers to buy a pre-owned car and sell it on the OLA application.
Additional features will include services ranging from purchase, vehicle finance, insurance and registration. If you already own a car the platform will provide maintenance including vehicle health diagnostics, service, accessories and finally resale of the vehicle back to Ola Cars. The company is planning to make the application one stop for managing, selling and buying cars.
The company for now has planned to initiate this with just pre-owned vehicles and later they will start to include new cars in their fleet along with new vehicles from OLA electric and other collaborated brands. Initially, the service, for now, will be started and limited to only 30 cities and later will be expanded to 100 cities by next year.
