Makes one wonder if we are in a Bull Market and it has peaked???
Why would an eyeglass company need 7,000 cr??? By that account Ola Electric’s Li-Ion Battery company IPO would be worth Rs 20,000 cr.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of electric mobility, Ola Electric has emerged as a bold disruptor. Yet, like many pioneers, it faces growing pains.
A future scenario where thousands of Ola scooters lie unrepaired outside service centers—many with deeply discharged batteries—poses both a logistical challenge and a reputational risk.
But what if this crisis could be transformed into a strategic win for both Ola and its customers?

In 2013, inside a modest lab at IIT Madras, two young engineers—Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain—were chasing a dream. Not of fame, not of fortune, but of impact. Their initial plan was simple: build lithium-ion batteries that could power the future.
But as they dug deeper into India’s mobility landscape, they saw a void—a lack of innovation in two-wheelers, a segment that millions relied on daily. That realization sparked a pivot that would redefine an industry.
They didn’t just want to build electric scooters…
