Ola Enters A New Market With A Rs 700 Crore Investment In Bangalore-Based Vogo
Ola today reported about its $100 million (Rs 700 crore) interest in the Bangalore-based start-up Vogo. This is by all accounts a colossal advance taken by Ola in differentiating its portability portfolio.
What is Vogo?
Vogo is a Bangalore based start-up that gives you a chance to lease gearless bikes in a hurry. It is as of now live in Bangalore and Hyderabad. It was established in 2016, and since has raised $8 million to this date.
Despite the fact that India's bike hailing market is still in its early stages, Vogo is by all accounts the most encouraging brand in the segment. It offers high caliber gearless bikes at just Rs 1.2/min. With the hold up time associated with hailing taxis and traffic, leased bikes accessible at such a minimal effort appear to be a decent choice for a day by day worker.
With the traffic conditions in India, it is apparent that bikes are the quickest way to deal with short driving and with its market technique, Vogo is by all accounts making great utilization of these elements. Putting in new get and drop locales, Vogo has scaled quickly, growing multiple times over the most recent five months.
With Vogo's bike sharing stage and Ola's market mastery and client base, this endeavor is by all accounts at the front line of India's quickly developing smaller scale portability advertise. Be that as it may, with China's history in a similar area, regardless it appears to be a gambit.
The issues that may emerge is absence of enough get and drop locales. Others incorporate abuse of the vehicles on lease and individuals dropping the bikes wherever they feel like. Much the same as the issues China confronted. Or on the other hand if the Indian government considers forcing a bike boycott like the one going to be executed in Los Angeles, this could be a tremendous issue that Ola should confront
How might this benefit Ola?
All things considered, with this venture, Ola has fanned out into a totally new market. Ola's bike taxi administrations are altogether different from the administrations given by Vogo. Ola is outlining fresh out of the box a new area here. Yet at the same time, being in the portability amusement for so long, Ola can be extremely helpful in extending Vogo into an across the nation mark.
Aside from a major venture, Ola has likewise taken a $100 million stake in India's bike hailing market, which is in its incipient state. In the event that the bike rental market proceeds to assume an indispensable job in India's small scale portability showcase, it will place Ola in a superior position than its American adversary, Uber.
