Ola, Uber watch out! Finnish ride-sharing startup Split is entering India

Here is a word of caution for Ola, Uber and good news for Indian commuters. Split, a ride-sharing Finnish startup, is planning to make a grand entry in India and give competition to app-based cab-hailing business in the country.

Split, which started its operations from Washington DC, connects commuters going in the same direction with the use of an app, helping them share cab and save money.

There is no door-to-door service but passengers are dropped off at a distance, which is walking to their homes.

Teemu Sihvola, head of concept development at Split, said after stabilising operations in Washington, they will eye growth markets like India.

Split aims to enter India in a year and claims that it would do better than app-only cab service Uber.
