He further elaborated the startup’s USP, saying that, “India currently is flooded with taxi and rickshaw aggregators within cities while Ola recently launched its outstation services, but the solutions we are offering like choice of car make & model selection, actual photographs, background check of drivers, luggage carrier, pet-friendly cars etc are the differentiators and is probably a unique business model in India as well as global market.”
