With Auto-Connect Wifi, we are reinventing the 3-wheelers and enabling a connected experience for our customers." He further added, "Our Auto-Connect Wifi experience is built on the foundations of key government initiatives such as Digital India. Through this first-of-its-kind innovation, we want to not only improve the quality of time spent while on the road, but also help build easy access to millions of users across the country."," said Siddharth Agrawal, Senior Director and Category Head-Auto at Ola, in a statement.
