Uber app accounted for 47.3% of all online taxi mobile apps installed at the end of March, higher than 43.7% for Ola app. The study took into account app downloads in seven cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad. The report only reflects the app downloads in the seven cities and not the market share in terms of number of rides or value of the rides. According to KalaGato, Ola had a comfortable lead over Uber in app downloads until a year ago. Soon after the sale of its China business, Uber India president Amit Jain indicated that Uber would focus sharply on India.
