"At Ola, we are committed to our mission of building mobility for a billion people and building a safe experience is an integral part of this mission.

The ride-hailing company has also collaborated with the police in cities like Pune, to support their on-ground efforts.

The firm's quick response team cars in the city will also have female police constables on-board to support existing police fleet and attend to SOS calls from women.

This is in line with Ola's national roll-out of AI-enabled safety feature called "Guardian" which uses real-time data from rides to automatically detect irregular trip activity and triggers a phone call by Ola's "Safety Response Team".
