“Ola has partnered with Apollo Hospitals to create India’s first ever comprehensive medical programme for driver- partners,” Ola said in a statement.
The programme will be conducted in five cities including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai and will be expanded to other cities over the course of the next few months, it added.
