    Happy 20th Birthday OpenStreetMap! "OpenStreetMap has grown exponentially or quadratically over the last twenty years depending on the metric you’re interested in . . . The story isn’t so much about the data and technology, and it never was. It’s the people. " --@SteveC,

    Wonderful to read more about Ola's new mapping infrastructure. Clearly underscores @openstreetmap and open source geospatial software as public infrastructure. Excited for @osm_in to collaborate with others like @MapmyIndia. tech.olakrutrim.com/navigating-ind…

    Great to see Ola's @openstreetmap adoption over the years finally in production. Congratulations @osm_in! I hope Ola can acknowledge that they are standing on the shoulders of giants. Looks like the APIs use @OpenMapTiles @pelias_geocoder and @ProjectOSRM, along with @Mapbox!

    After Azure exit last month, we’ve now fully exited google maps. We used to spend ₹100 cr a year but we’ve made that 0 this month by moving completely to our in house Ola maps! Check your Ola app and update if needed 😉 Also, Ola maps API available on @Krutrim cloud! Many more

    This isn't a 100% inhouse solution as stated by the author. They're using MapBox SDK as pointed out by this twitter user. x.com/SDagdu/status/… And when the author says they're spending 0 this month, they're clearly not counting salaries, licenses, and other costs of maintaining this system.
