Digital financial services platform Mobikwik has joined hands with ride-sharing app Ola to enable its users to book cabs and autos across 110 cities in India.

We are committed to making digital transactions simple and streamlined. Ola is a key partner in this endeavor," Daman Soni, Vice President- Marketing and Growth, Mobikwik said.
