Ola Bike has enabled citizens from the smallest of towns such as Chapra in Bihar to large metropolitan areas such as Gurugram with access to quick, reliable and affordable mobility, Ola Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Arun Srinivas said.
"Ola Bike is also helping build sustainable livelihoods for our fast-growing network of close to 300,000 partners from within these ecosystems of cities and towns, creating opportunities like never before for the youth of the nation.

Since then, the service has been extended to cities like Hyderabad, Chandigarh and Kolkata as well as smaller towns like Gaya, Bikaner and Mughalsarai.
