Woman gave birth to baby boy in Ola cab. Here is what Ola gifted her!
Millions give birth every day, but what makes this experience unique for Ishwari Singh Vishwakarma is that the baby was born in an Ola cab on the way to hospital on October 2. The 21-year-old woman and her son can avail free rides for the next five years as a gift from the Ola Company. These rides will be availed by a special coupon, named after the baby. "My wife's expected delivery date was October 24 but in the wee hours of October 2, she started experiencing labour pains, so we booked a cab in the morning to go to Kamla Nehru Hospital, and at around 7.20 am, the cab driver arrived for pick up at our residence in Kondhwa area," her husband Ramesh Singh Vishwakarma said. Vishwakarma said his brother and mother were with his wife in the cab while he was riding a motorcycle on their way to the hospital. "After travelling four to five kms from home, I got a call from my brother informing me about my wife delivering in the cab," said Vishwakarma, who works in a private firm. The woman and her son are fine and have been discharged from the hospital today. The cabbie Yashwant Galande said he was thrilled by the experience. "Looking at her situation, I decided not to stop the cab anywhere and continued to drive to the hospital. However, after travelling for hardly four to five kms, the customer delivered the baby in the backseat with the help of her relative," Yashwant Galande said. "The doctors immediately detached the umbilical cord inside the cab and got my wife and son admitted for further treatment," he said. "These rides can be availed by a special coupon, named after the baby," it said. Ola also felicitated Galande for going an extra mile to help the passengers in need. As a goodwill gesture, Ola sent the same cab and the driver to the hospital to take the mother and baby back home. -PTC News
