Payments platform PhonePe on Thursday announced its partnership with Ola, India's leading and one of the world's largest taxi aggregator, for a hassle-free cab and auto booking experience. The tie-up will enable users to now book an Ola using the PhonePe app. With this integration, PhonePe users will have access to Ola's multi-modal commuting offerings, along with the benefit of using the industry-first AutoPay feature.

With both the companies already catering to a large user base, this also becomes the first large scale implementation of AutoPay (through standing instructions) for ride bookings in India. Through AutoPay, users just need to link their preferred Credit/Debit card for a Ola ride in the PhonePe app once, and their ride-fare would automatically be paid at the end of every ride. Users also have the flexibility of setting and switching off AutoPay instructions anytime they want. "Ola is the largest smart mobility player in the market and we are delighted to partner with them.
