Flipkart founder Sachin Bansal may play mentor to Ola in fight against Uber

Flipkart co-founder may be instrumental in next funding round talks

Sachin Bansal, the poster boy of Indian e-commerce and co-founder of Flipkart, will possibly have a role beyond that of an investor in Bhavish Aggarwal-led Ola. 

Bansal, who had to step down from the company he had founded last year when Walmart acquired a majority stake in Flipkart, is likely to be a mentor at the cab aggregating platform as it enters the next phase of expansion. Industry watchers believe Bansal, who has already invested Rs 650 crore ($92 million) in Ola, would be able to help the company in its fierce fight with American rival Uber.
