Ola, India's Largest Ride-Hailing Service, Plans International Expansion (ndtv.com)
Reader joshtops writes: Indian ride-hailing company Ola, which operates in over 100 cities in the local country, is eyeing international expansion, according to a report, which cites multiple sources. The company, which leads rival Uber in India's ride-hailing market, has been looking at international markets for some time, and it has identified India's neighbours Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh as the first international countries where it will offer its services, the report added. Rival Uber already operates in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Ola is also eyeing other countries in Asia and North Africa to continue this expansion in the future, another person requesting anonymity told Gadgets 360. [...] Ola is exploring international markets at a time when Uber is increasingly expanding its reach in India. The global ride-hailing service, which operates in over 500 cities, is presently available in 29 cities in the country. India has become the fastest growing market for Uber, especially in the wake of its exit from China. The report adds that an alliance by US' Lyft, South Asia's Grab, China's Didi, and India's Ola, which they formed to utilize each other's resources to better fight Uber, ended this year. Now the companies could become direct competitors.
You need to apologize for your racist comment and refrain from posting stuff like that again. Shame on you.
I know that you're trying to be funny, but racist jokes just aren't funny. I'll give you the benefit of the country that your post was well-intentioned. However, it really is offensive. Please do the right thing and apologize for your offensive joke.
Says they internet tough guy SJW who doesn't even know where India is.
We already have enough AC trolls posting racist nonsense. We don't need logged-in users making racist jokes. You should apologize and not do it again.
Ugh, why do we have non-AC users now posting racist comments? There's already enough of this shit on Slashdot.
They are unfunny? Says who? It is as funny as to make fun of white trash as it is about anybody else including Indians.
You should be careful to cover your tracks if you make jokes of one special religion tho - not only the followers have no sense of humor but some of them also tend to be extremely violent while majority accepts the actions of minority. Other than that it is free for all. Except maybe for PC States of America and other Western Wastelands.
Moderators, please mod the parent down to -1 flamebait for being a racist comment.
Hognoxious, you really should apologize for your racist comment.
Oh, hey, it's a bunch of right wing drivel. You're just upset that you can't make racist jokes about anyone you don't like.
If we call it sharing, it's good.
I am not understanding how his comment was racist. Can someone explain?
If we call it sharing, it's good.
Good thing they only called it "hailing" and not "sharing". Looks like you just want something to complain about, and you sure got in there to make sure you got to complain about it first! Thanks for helping make Slashdot grate.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I'm assuming it's reference to indian "auto rickshaws" like this:

I wonder what head-exploding mental gyrations liberals will have to go through to spread hate about this particular ridesharing service. They will probably have to fall back on whatever politically correct version of the "Asians are taking our jerbs" argument they think will sell on campus.
English much?
Hear me out -- we open Ola ride sharing here. Inform the Indians that they can start here, too. Then we walk in as their replacements
And they would have to train us. US!
Reverse outsource, eh? Call it what you want, whatever.
No trump involved; it's just an app, FFS.
I call it brilliant

Death to CNN. Long live the new flesh.
This kind of bandwagon mentality is exactly why browsers and websites are terrible. It's why technology is racing downhill into DRM and TPM and 16 layers of virtualization for "security". Stuffing everything with bloated scripts and inventing crap toy languages so they can DOING A GOOBLE BOWER-BOINT BRESENTATIONS filled with their stupid Indian faggot ideas.
Fuck you, brown pieces of shit

No.
"We already have enough AC trolls posting racist nonsense. "
So we're glad we have you, posting non-racist nonsense.
You have to be American to confuse culture with race. You have to be a born again Kapo to whine to moderators to throttle free speech.
Look @ who runs them (Zucker, Page/Brin, Zuckerberg), the banks etc. Jews believe this of others they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all (for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Perrone, Spanish inquistion, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://justice4poland.com/2016/12/12/the-hidden-tyranny-shocking-1976-interview-with-zionist-harold-wallace-rosenthal/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud. This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Khazar/Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple):
1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."
2. Abodah Zara 26b: "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
3. Sanhedrin 59a: "A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death."
4. Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
5. Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."
6. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Do not save Goyim in danger of death."
7. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Show no mercy to the Goyim."
8. Choschen Hamm 388, 15: "If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."
9. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."
10. Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore Dia 17: "A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them."

12. Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D: "When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves."
13. Nidrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L: "Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."
14. Aboda Sarah 37a: "A Gentile girl who is three years old can be violated."
15. Gad. Shas. 2:2: "A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl."
16. Tosefta. Aboda Zara B, 5: "If a goy kills a goy or a Jew, he is responsible; but if a Jew kills a goy, he is NOT responsible."
17. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 388: "It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator everywhere. It is permitted to kill him even before he denounces."
18. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348: "All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples."
19. Tosefta, Abda Zara VIII, 5: "How to interpret the word 'robbery.' A goy is forbidden to steal, rob, or take women slaves, etc., from a goy or from a Jew. But a Jew is NOT forbidden to do all this to a goy."
20. Seph. Jp., 92, 1: "God has given the Jews power over the possessions and blood of all nations."
21. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 156: "When a Jew has a Gentile in his clutches, another Jew may go to the same Gentile, lend him money and in turn deceive him, so
Racist jokes are fucking hilarious. I talk shit about my races all of the time. Only whiteboys like you who try to act as white knights for races that YOU AREN'T A PART OF get offended.
Banks in India have stopped lending to people desiring to buy cars for Ola and Uber(in many cities). This is because the drivers are unable to make enough money to repay their loans. As an Indian I am not proud of our homegrown rapacious capitalists spreading their poison outside the country.
Competitors should not fear the dominant Uber, since it never made any profit. Add the various lawsuits, and you can hope it is just a matter of time before it collapses on its own.
I've been living in India for the last six months and gave up on Uber very quickly due to their general asshattedness and also their dreadful customer support. I switched to Ola and have been very happy. I hope they do well. Their app is not quite as slick as Uber's but then they don't track you while you are not running the app either which is a plus. The drivers are, in my experience, better trained, mostly appear to actually have licenses (unlicensed driving is endemic here), and they have Ola issued GPS systems rather than Uber which relies on the drivers' own often inadequate mobiles to handle booking and navigation.
I used to have a better sig than this, but I got tired of it
So it's true. How can that be racist then?
ROFLMAO ..also that's called sarcasm, not racism. (Everyone knows this, but the Indians seem to be trying to tar and feather you on here, so I'm writing it down for the youngsters to learn.)
*You* don't tell anyone what they need to do. What you need to do is get back on the phone telling people there's a problem with their computers.
