[mashshare]

Olacabs iPhone App When it comes to hiring taxi services in India, there aren’t many apps available on smartphones that would enable users for hiring a cab in real time. In addition, due to the infrastructure in India and net connectivity, most apps like these work in a tardy way. Now SutraBlog reports that Olacabs has come up with an iPhone app for its taxi hiring service. The Olacabs iPhone app will allow users to see all available cabs near them, anytime.

In a blog post, Olacabs has neatly explained the way to book a cab using its iPhone app. It reads, “To book your Ola cab, all you’ve to do is tap ‘Pick me up’ and confirm. Voilà, your booking is done! No payments, no filling pick up details, no waiting for confirmation and driver details. Your Ola ride is booked with just one touch, as promised. After booking, you won’t just get the ride details instantly. You can also track where your ride is while it’s still on the way to pick you up.”

One feature of the Olacabs iPhone app that would be welcomed by users is that they will be able to call the driver. This is useful if a situation crops up where users have to give special instructions or cancel the ride. Previously, Olacabs had also released an Android app, which has been downloaded 5000 times.

Well, when it comes to mobile products and internet products, the competition sure is heating up. The same goes for hiring the top talent, and most companies are going for technology hiring solutions.

Being pioneers in eCommerce recruitment, we have seen the tremendous growth in the industry in India. The competition for talent is pretty hot and many Indian eCommerce companies are vying for the top professionals. Now Business Standard (via PTI) has an article that sources a report from industry data aggregator First Data, which places the growth of eCommerce in India at 50% this year.

The VP & Country Manager of First Data Corporation, Amrish Rau, elaborated on eCommerce in India by saying, “We do expect over 50 per cent growth in this calendar year, depending on certain sectors. The online travel-booking segment will be the major contributor to this growth. The total market size stood at Rs 46,520 crore last year, a massive jump from Rs 8,147 crore in 2007.”

Rau informed that some 81% of the market share, or Rs 37,890 crore, trickled in from the online travel industry. The other industry that is gaining traction is that of finance, as mutual funds and insurance are being bought online. Adding more on eCommerce in India, Rau also spoke about e-tailing and how it will grow at a huge rate.

With the advent of broadband connections in India and superior infrastructure, there will be an increase in the number of online shopping sites. With such a vast growth in eCommerce in India, talent will be in demand and eCommerce recruitment too will see a spurt.
