MapMyIndia Put Allegations On Ola Electric For Data Theft

MapMyIndia puts allegations upon Ola Electric for data theft. According to the sources, Ola Electric copied data from MapMyIndia. Discussions are going on among the companies to resolve the matter. However, the things are yet confusing. Ola Electric has not accepted the allegations yet. The matter started after Ola Electric launched its maps. How long will it take to manage the situation? Will it affect the company’s business?

Why MapMyIndia Puts Allegations On Ola Electric For Data Theft?

MapMyIndia’s website has detailed maps of India’s states, cities, and districts. It has real view maps, API, and SDK. MapMyIndia puts allegations that Ola Electric has stolen their data to create maps for Ola Electric. The discussions started when Ola Electric launched its mapping service. The company introduces its maps to reduce dependability on other platforms. However, it used MapMyIndia’s API for the development of its maps. OLA Electric and MapMyIndia came into the deal in 2022 to help Ola Electric’s S1 Pro Electric scooter for navigation. However, the company violated the rules and regulations of the licensing policy. It used the company’s API and SDK for creating its navigation which was against the company’s policies. They were not allowed to use the company’s API.

MapMyIndia sent a legal notice to the company for violation of the policies. They claim that the company used their data which was not allowed in the policy. Thus, they want strict action against it. On the other hand, Ola Electric refuses the use of their data. MapMyIndia mentions that the claim by Ola Electric for using the open map for the development of their maps is false.

In conclusion, MapMyIndia has sent a legal notice to Ola Electric for misusing their services. The incident became viral and the company sent a legal notice. However, both platforms have their own face value. Another question arises how will it affect their business? It might have a minor impact on their business from the customer’s side. It will not have a major impact on their business. Ola Electric is now using its own designed maps. It is making it easy for them to navigate through it. Ola Electric has clearly denied any involvement. They state, “All Allegations Are False, Malicious”. It is not yet clear what MapMyIndia will say in reply to the statement. We will inform you as soon as possible about the updates. Sir tay tuned for more information on our website.
