Top 50 Newsmakers of India - 2019

A YourStory list of startups that made the news this year for all the right reasons.

The year 2019 began with a bang for the ride-hailing unicorn. It raised Rs 650 crore from Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal, and ended up garnering a total $2 billion funding in January. It also saw its EV entity, Ola Electric, join the unicorn club this year. While it did face a regulatory challenge with the Karnataka government banning its services, the ride-hailing unicorn bounced back into operations. In India, Ola claims to have over 125 million users and more than one million driver partners. It serves as many as one billion rides every year through its platform. The next stop for the ride hailing unicorn: an IPO. According to sources, Ola is in advanced talks to raise about $150-200 million (Rs 1,050-1,400 crore) in funding from tech giant Microsoft.
