China is home to the world's largest companies in the bike sharing market where
ofo and Mobike (acquired by Meituan) hold about 90-95% of the overall Chinese market.
Ofo by the time it entered India had venture capital funding from Chinese technology firms Xiaomi, Didi Chuxing and Russian Digital Sky Technologies.

Ofo announced it was to pull out of Sheffield just six months after setting up there.
ofo has led the dockless market, although the company recently announced that it is sharply reducing its U.S.
