Aggarwal highlighted Ola Electric’s mission to lead the electric vehicle (EV) revolution in markets beyond the West, emphasizing that while Tesla has a stronghold in Western markets, Ola aims to cater to emerging economies and the rest of the world.
Key Highlights from the Interview:

The IPO will provide the company with the capital needed to scale its operations, invest in technology, and expand its product line.
- Focus on Emerging Markets:
- Ola’s strategy differs from Western EV manufacturers like Tesla. Aggarwal stated, “Tesla is for the West; Ola is for the rest,” underscoring Ola’s commitment to making electric vehicles accessible and affordable in markets where EV penetration is still nascent. He sees a significant opportunity in these regions, given the increasing demand for sustainable mobility solutions.
- Innovations and Future Plans:
- Aggarwal discussed Ola’s upcoming product pipeline, including new electric two-wheelers and four-wheelers tailored for various customer segments.

- Aggarwal’s Vision for Ola’s Ecosystem:
- Ola Electric is not just about vehicles; it’s part of a larger ecosystem that includes ride-hailing and financial services. Bhavish Aggarwal envisions a future where Ola’s three companies—Ola Electric, Ola Cabs, and Ola Financial Services—integrate seamlessly to offer comprehensive, sustainable, and tech-driven solutions to consumers worldwide.
Aggarwal’s plans demonstrate Ola’s aggressive approach to capturing market share in the global EV space, particularly in regions underserved by traditional EV players.
