Founded in 2017, Ola Electric Mobility Limited is an electric vehicle company specializing in the manufacturing of electric vehicles and essential components like battery packs, motors, and vehicle frames at its Ola Futurefactory. Since August 2021, the company has introduced seven new products and announced four additional ones. The Ola S1 Pro, their first EV model, was delivered in December 2021, followed by the Ola S1, Ola S1 Air, Ola S1 X, and Ola S1 X+ in subsequent years.
On August 15, 2023, Ola Electric unveiled new EV models and a series of motorcycles, including the Diamondhead, Adventure, Roadster, and Cruiser. As of October 31, 2023, the company operates an extensive omnichannel distribution network across India, which includes 870 experience centers and 431 service centers (with 429 of these located within experience centers), in addition to the Ola Electric website. In FY 2023, about 75% of the two-wheeler exports from India were directed to Africa, Latin America (LATAM), and Southeast Asia, while domestic supply of electric two-wheelers (E2W) remained limited.
Ola Electric's business model is built on three scalable platforms: a research and development (R&D) and technology platform focused on in-house design and development of EV technologies and components; a flexible production and supply chain platform; and a direct-to-consumer (D2C) omnichannel sales platform. As of March 31, 2024, the company employed 959 individuals, including 907 permanent employees and 52 freelancers, who are primarily dedicated to research and development, including product development, vehicle and software development, vehicle design, and cell development.
The market capitalization of the OLA Electric IPO is ₹33,521.75 crores as of March 31, 2024. Key performance indicators (KPIs) reflect the company's financial and operational status up to that date.

OLA Electric IPO Review (May Apply) [Dilip Davda]:
The company, primarily focused on electric two-wheelers (E2W), is emerging as a leader in the sector. With numerous competitors entering the market, the competition is intensifying. Ola has outlined a clear future strategy, including the development of its future factory and Gigafactory to stay competitive. The company is also planning to expand into electric bikes (E-2W), three-wheelers, cars, and the significant 4680 Li-ion battery technology, aiming to establish itself as a global hub for EV batteries.
While the company’s revenue has been growing year-on-year, it has also shown improvement in reducing its losses. However, it may take some more time before the company can achieve profitability. This makes the OLA Electric IPO a long-term investment opportunity. Well-informed investors might consider allocating moderate funds for long-term growth.
