Uber Applied sciences Inc and its Indian rival Ola on Friday denied a media report that the ride-hailing companies have been in talks for a merger. An Financial Instances report stated that Ola Chief Government Bhavish Aggarwal had met high Uber executives in San Francisco, United States, citing two sources.
“That report is inaccurate. We’re not, nor have we been, in merger talks with Ola,” Uber stated in a press release.
Ola’s Aggarwal tweeted, “Absolute garbage. We’re very worthwhile and rising effectively. If another corporations need to exit their enterprise from India they’re welcome to! We are going to by no means merge.”
