Consumers across India will now be able to book an Ola cab ahead of their doctor’s appointments, directly from Practo app. Practo users will also get a reminder an hour prior to the scheduled appointment, allowing them to make use of Ola’s Ride Later feature to book a ride in advance.

“This partnership with Practo is another step towards fulfilling our mission of building mobility for a billion Indians. We are looking at a number of solutions to provide an integrated mobility experience to our customers and this is one such example. By associating with like-minded companies that understand the market like we do, we are confident that customers will stand to benefit the most,” said Pranay Jivrajka, Chief Operating Officer at Ola.

Varun Dubey, VP Marketing and Head of Monetization, Practo said, “We want to provide the most seamless healthcare experience to consumers. As we continue our expansion into 100 cities and towns in India, our partnership with Ola will help millions of consumers in urban centres as well as in Tier II and Tier-III towns to seamlessly commute for their doctor’s appointments. This partnership will be of immense help for our users to reach on time for their doctor’s appointment. This is another step in our goal to help people live healthier, longer lives by simplifying healthcare access.”
