Ola ties up with EduKart to facilitate quality higher education for families of its driver partners
Through this partnership, Ola will provide access to quality higher education to families of its driver partners.
EduKart will provide end-to-end assistance, guidance and also facilitate admissions for drivers and their family members at leading partner colleges.
As part of the program, EduKart will also provide assistance in availing scholarship and discounts on fees to family members of Ola drivers.
This initiative, designed basis feedback from drivers on the Ola platform is part of Ola’s Gurukul program that was launched recently to provide quality education for the drivers’ school going children. The program has now been broadened to benefit both school going as well as college going family members of drivers on the Ola platform.
Ola’s partnership with EduKart is being rolled out for Ola drivers and their families in Delhi and would subsequently be taken to more cities like Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. This partnership will also enable family members of Ola driver partners to study at reputed public and private institutes and drive towards a brighter future.
Pranay Jivrajka, COO at Ola said, “With Ola Gurukul, we aim to play our part in ensuring more and more children across the country have access to quality school and college education. We have hundreds of thousands of driver partners who work with us across 100+ cities today. The objective of the Gurukul program is to enable access to quality education for children and family members of our partners. We think this will make a significant impact on India’s future as well as to the lives of our driver partners. We hope more and more drivers on our platform avail of this opportunity.”
Ishan Gupta, CEO EduKart said, “We are happy to see Ola’s commitment towards holistic development of its drivers' community. Through its marketplace platform, EduKartis very uniquely positioned in the education landscape to provide access to many high-quality formal and non-formal education programs for the children and family members of the drivers. Our team will provide all possible assistance that students would need to make the best use of this fantastic opportunity being provided to them by the Ola &EduKart partnership."
