Ola e-rickshaw

With an aim to offer reliable mobility in smaller towns and cities, Ola has launched its e-rickshaw service today in Delhi-NCR. The first Ola E-rickshaw was booked by PM Narendra Modi on Ola’s mobile application.


The service was launched by PM Narendra Modi at the ‘Stand Up India’ initiative which is aimed at promoting entrepreneurship. Bhartiya Micro Credit (BMC), an NGO focused on financial aid for E-Rickshaws will distribute 5,100 E-Rickshaws at the event that will be deployed across Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad.

This will be further scaled up in the coming months to more small towns and Tier III cities. Each of the e-rickshaw operators will get a smartphone to connect to the Ola app and the customer and the base fare will start at Rs 8.

These E-rickshaws involve lower human effort compared to pulled rickshaws and will give existing rickshaw pullers, the opportunity to enhance their skills and become driver-entrepreneurs and access to consistent demand through the Ola app on their smartphones. Apart from employment, Ola and BMC will also set up and run skill development centers in these towns to enable continuous skilling and training for thousands of rickshaw driver-entrepreneurs.

Speaking on the occasion, Pranay Jivrajka, Chief Operating Officer at Ola said,
It’s an honour to support PM Modi’s ‘Stand-up India’ initiative aimed at empowering thousands of e-rickshaw driver-partners, with innovative micro-entrepreneurship solutions and technology platform. Economic growth, rapid urbanization and environmental concerns are driving the need for innovative mobility solutions across the country.
The transportation needs of users in smaller towns and sustainable alternatives for cycle rickshaw pedallers will be solved for with the introduction of e-rickshaws on the Ola app, which are affordable, environment friendly and convenient to hail. We believe this will touch the lives of hundreds of millions of citizens as well as the livelihoods of millions of driver entrepreneurs, taking us closer to our mission of mobility for a billion people.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Press Image Surfaces

Image
Ladies and gentlemen, we now have what might be the very first renders that accurately present Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, both of which will likely be announced next month at MWC 2016 (on February 21, to be exact). Revealed by @evleaks , the renders seem to be press images that may have originated from Samsung (thus not being fan-made renders). In the past, @evleaks unveiled accurate images of many new smartphones ahead of their official announcements, so we're inclined to believe that the new renders are legit. As expected, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge don't look too different from last year's Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. However, while the Galaxy S7 may keep the same 5.1-inch display of the S6, the Galaxy S7 edge could have a 5.5-inch screen, and its render seems to be supporting this idea. Minor design changes aside, the Galaxy S7 series should bring significant improvements over the S6 family, including water-resistance, microSD card support...
