Ola Launches Olafoods with 40 Kitchens to Deliver Across 6 Cities in India Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

The ongoing Coronavirus outbreak has had a pretty deep impact on our daily lives. The Indian government has advised the residents of the country to stay home and work from there. All offices are shut down, several major smartphone launches like the Realme Narzo series launch and the Xiaomi Mi 10 launch in India have been postponed because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Various e-commerce platforms like Flipkart and Amazon India have declared a temporary shutdown of their services in the country. Various streaming services in India have reduced their bitrate to tackle the surge in internet traffic. Well, all this seems pretty alarming, but again, all of this is to safeguard society and Ola appears to be equally contributing towards the same. Ola has launched Olafoods with 40 kitchens that will deliver healthy food across 6 cities in India amid the Coronavirus outbreak. Take a look at the initiative taken by Ola and find out what it has in store for us.

Can’t Find Food? Olafoods Might Help

Olafoods is a new initiative taken by Ola, which aims to provide hygienic and quality food to people who can’t go out of their home during the COVID-19 lockdown period. Though the government of the country has opened avenues for shopping during certain timings of the day, it is still not a very good idea to go out. Add to it the fact that the lack of supply has also been observed in several parts of the country. Olafoods can certainly help solve such issues.
