ANI Technologies, the company that owns Ola Cabs, wants to make more money by expanding into different areas. Ola plans to scale up logistics and e-commerce services using new technologies like artificial intelligence and the cloud. In the coming months, they plan to grow their businesses, including ride-hailing, finance, delivery, and online shopping.
This is happening because the way people use ride-hailing services is changing worldwide due to new tech like AI. The company also wants to serve one billion people in India and make its organization more efficient, so it’s changing how it operates and investing in AI and other technology to do it. The company didn’t reply to an email inquiry before the press deadline.
Ola Scaling Up Logistics and E-commerce Services
Ola is working on changing how people move around and use ride-hailing services to grow even more. They’re focusing on improving their service by offering a loyalty program and luxury cars in more cities. They’re also switching to electric vehicles to shake things up in the transportation world, providing cheaper rides on two-wheelers.
Ola is also entering financial services, teaming up with banks to help people buy vehicles and offer better insurance options. They’re improving their logistics and online shopping services, too, using their big customer base, financial services, and technology to make the most of government-supported digital commerce networks. Recently, Ola brought back Bhavish Aggarwal’s brother, Ankush Aggarwal, to lead their financial services division.
Ola’s Plan for Profitability and IPO
Ola Cabs is preparing to become more profitable and seek an initial public offering (IPO) worth $500 million. This would value the company at about $5 billion. They plan to file paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Board of India in the next three months.
Changes at the Top and Restructuring
There have been some changes in the company’s top positions. The chief financial officer, Kartik Gupta, and the CEO, Hemant Bakshi, have resigned. Gupta used to work at Procter and Gamble, while Bakshi was previously with Unilever. This restructuring could affect about 10% of Ola’s workforce, which currently has around 1,800 employees.
