It’s not everyday cab hailing services in India gets a pat on their back on social media. While most of the days they must be combating complaints and nasty feedbacks, today seemed a bit different. Bengaluru based cab service Ola Cab, throttling in top gear for their recent acquisitions had a weird tweet on their micro blogging site. A Hyderabad based ‘Physician’ Seelam Veerapa Naidu made an offensive request and asking for a cab with a 'driver of Hindu faith only'.
Ola’s smart reply, “Sorry, we don't discriminate against our drivers on the basis of their religion” took the social media by storm. This drew appreciations from Ola’s competitors Uber and Easy Cabs and also erstwhile J&K CM Omar Abdullah among others. Naidu’s attempt to defend his request by tweeting "My intention is not to hurt anyone" didn’t stop people from hateful and sarcastic tweets throughout the day.
This common and convenient trend to address grievances in twitter has an immediate response from the concerned company.
@SVeerapaNaidu Sorry, we do not discriminate against our drivers on the basis of their religion.
