Ola Electric, the electric vehicle (EV) company led by Bhavish Aggarwal, has announced plans to lay off at least 500 employees as part of a significant restructuring initiative aimed at improving operational efficiency and addressing mounting losses. The company, which has faced controversies, including a government probe and consumer complaints, is making the move to cut redundancies and streamline its workforce in an effort to drive profitability.

Ola Electric, India’s leading electric scooter manufacturer, is facing an investigation by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) over allegations of deficient services and product quality. The probe, initiated by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), follows a surge of over 10,000 complaints lodged on the National Consumer Helpline, primarily regarding the company's after-sales services and repair delays

In a surprising turn of events, comedian Kunal Kamra has accepted Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal's offer to join the company, albeit with several conditions aimed at addressing the ongoing service issues plaguing Ola's electric scooters. This latest development follows a heated exchange between the two, sparked by Kamra's criticism of the company's after-sales service.

In contrast to Ola's Bhavish Aggarwal, Nothing CEO Carl Pei receives praise for addressing customer feedback.

An Ola scooter was engulfed in flames outside the company's showroom in Bengaluru, igniting a wave of social media commentary and trolling. The incident occurred in the BTM Layout area, near Jayadev Hospital, and was captured on video, which quickly went viral after being shared by Congress spokesperson Lavanya Ballal Jain on the platform X (formerly Twitter).

Ola Cabs, one of India's leading ride-hailing services, announced a significant technological shift by replacing Google Maps with its own in-house Ola Maps. Founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal shared this development in a post on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting that this move would save the company ₹100 crore annually.

In a recent announcement, Ola co-founder Bhavish Aggarwal revealed that the popular ride-hailing and electric vehicle (EV) company Ola will be transitioning from Microsoft Azure to its proprietary Krutrim Cloud. This decision comes in the wake of a controversy involving LinkedIn, a professional networking platform owned by Microsoft, and Aggarwal's critical posts being removed.

Ola, the Indian ride-hailing giant, has expanded its services once again, this time into the parcel delivery market. The company has launched "Ola Parcel" in Bengaluru, offering to deliver parcels through its electric scooters. The move is seen as a step towards creating an all-electric logistics ecosystem in India. Ola has set a fixed delivery fee for its parcel service, ranging from ₹25 for a 5km delivery to ₹100 for a 20km delivery.

Ola cabs restarts its bike taxi services in Bengaluru, this time exclusively with electric S1 scooters. CEO Bhavish Aggarwal announced the move on social media, emphasizing affordability and eco-friendliness.
