03:48AM Fri 6 Oct, 2017
Pune,5 October 2017: Ishwari Singh Vishwakarma is on cloud nine as she has become mother of a baby boy. However, what makes the experience unique is that the baby was born in an Ola cab on the way to hospital on the morning of October 2.
In addition to this, there is another reason for the 21-year-old woman to feel elated, as the ride hailing company has announced that Ishwari Singh Vishwakarma and her son can avail free rides for the next five years as a gift.
These rides can be availed by a special coupon, named after the baby.
The incident occurred when the woman went into labour on Monday morning, three weeks before her expected date, her husband Ramesh Singh Vishwakarma said today. Mr Vishwakarma said he alerted the hospital about the delivery and a team of doctors was waiting at its entrance.
"The doctors immediately detached the umbilical cord inside the cab and got my wife and son admitted for further treatment," he said.
Mr Vishwakarma said he was grateful to the cabbie for taking his wife and the new born to the hospital safely.
In a release, Ola said the mother and the child are entitled to free rides for the next five years as a gift.
"These rides can be availed by a special coupon, named after the baby," it said.
Ola also felicitated Mr Galande for going an extra mile to help the passengers in need.
As a goodwill gesture, Ola today sent the same cab and the driver to the hospital to take the mother and baby home.
