India has always loved its educational courses — from IIT coaching factories to the booming edtech platforms that churn out millions of learners. With 356 million youth aged 10–24, the country is practically a classroom…

1. Status of Gig and Z-Series – When will they launch – before motorcycle/erickshaw or after? in 1st Qtr of CY 2026 or 2nd Qtr of 2026.
2. Status of Hyper Charger – How many…

Ola Electric has emerged as a bold player in India’s EV revolution, promising innovation and sustainability. Yet, in its booking process…
Continue readingOla Electric’s roadmap for 2026 is crystal clear: premium electric motorcycles, ShaktiUPS, and Container BESS are the headline acts.
The company seems determined to position itself as a high-tech, premium EV player rather than a mass-market disruptor.
But in the process, we at PlugInCaroo are guessing that Ola appears to have quietly sidelined its Gig scooter, Z-Series scooter, and even the much-discussed electric autorickshaw… the smallCar? well that could be 3-5yrs down the line.
The links and pics …
Continue readingIndia’s electric two-wheeler revolution, once marked by explosive growth, appears to be entering a phase of consolidation.
After a meteoric rise from 144,000 units in FY2021 to 1.14 million in FY2025, the April–November 2025 figures for FY2026 suggest a slowdown.
With only 700,000 units sold in the first eight months, the market is unlikely to surpass FY2025’s total unless a dramatic surge occurs in the final quarter.
This deceleration raises a critical question: Has the E2W market plateaued?
Lets analyze: …
Continue readingIn India’s electric two-wheeler market, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube stand tall on paper. Their sales figures are impressive, their legacy brands trusted, and their technology refined.
Yet, a curious contradiction persists: despite being top sellers, they remain nearly invisible on the roads.
This paradox — of high sales but low street presence — raises important questions about how we measure success in India’s EV transition.
Since their launch in 2020, both TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak have climbed the sales charts. Both have…
Continue readingOla Electric, once synonymous with India’s booming electric scooter market, is undergoing a strategic transformation that could redefine its role in the country’s clean mobility and energy landscape.
While its two-wheeler business has reached a critical milestone by turning EBITDA positive in Q2 FY26, the company’s future ambitions stretch far beyond scooters — into battery manufacturing, energy storage, and grid-level infrastructure.
Ola Electric has done very well…

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?
Imagine Ola Electric launching a sweeping initiative: replacing the batteries of all affected scooters under a new Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership agreement. Instead of transferring battery ownership to the customer, Ola retains it and charges a nominal ₹1 per kilometer ridden. This model not only solves…

Throughout history, the rise and fall of superpowers have often hinged not just on military might or political influence, but on the stability of their economies and the ability to feed their people.
Famine—whether literal or systemic—has repeatedly exposed the fragility of empires.
From France’s decline in the early 19th century to Britain’s post-colonial unraveling, food insecurity has been a silent but potent force in reshaping global power. Today, even the United States…
