Context: Indian Government has recently announced nation-wide lockdown and you're a PM at Ola. The sales have obviously taken a huge hit. Question: What would you, as a PM, do to increase the revenue at Ola? Is there a new business that you'll venture into? Why or why not?

As a product manager at Ola in the current situation, I would focus on diversifying our offerings to adapt to the changing market dynamics. One potential area of focus could be on-demand delivery services, leveraging our existing fleet of drivers to deliver essential goods to customers. This could include partnering with local businesses to offer delivery services for groceries, medicine, and other essential items. Another area that we could explore is ride-sharing for essential workers. While the demand for traditional ride-hailing services may be down, there may still be a need for transportation services for those who are working in essential industries. We could explore partnerships with hospitals, grocery stores, and other essential businesses to provide transportation services specifically for their employees. Finally, we could explore expanding our services to new markets. While the pandemic has had a significant impact on the economy as a whole, there may be pockets of opportunity in certain regions or industries. We could explore new markets or industries where our services are in high demand and work to establish a foothold in those areas. Overall, I believe that it's important to be creative and adaptable in times of crisis. By focusing on diversifying our offerings and exploring new opportunities, we can weather the storm and come out stronger on the other side.
