“That report is inaccurate. We’re not, nor have we been, in merger talks with Ola,” Uber stated in a press release.
Ola’s Aggarwal tweeted, “Absolute garbage. We’re very worthwhile and rising effectively. If another corporations need to exit their enterprise from India they’re welcome to! We are going to by no means merge.”
