Ola Boat is for real
You might have laughed when you has received a forward message stating that the Ola Boat has been introduced in Chennai. Well, this is the time that we should regret for our ignorance. Ola Boats are for real and they have been sending boats to all places whomever have requested. Unlike to the traditional service they have started this service for free and are charging nothing to the needy. Well we really appreciate the social responsibility taken by corporate. Good work Ola.
