Ola Electric posts ‘better’ results, but deeper problems persist

A bounce in margins and stock price hides a serious crisis at the Bhavish Aggarwal-led EV maker, where volumes have stalled, rivals are gaining and product trust is breaking down.

You’d think entrepreneurs would evolve, that mistakes would become lessons. But in Bhavish Aggarwal’s world, history repeats itself, line for line, flaw for flaw. Krutrim’s struggle mirrors Ola’s past. I write for @themorningcontext.bsky.social

Krutrim is a mirror of Bhavish Aggarwal’s broken dreams

Inside the AI startup, where ambition runs high, the culture is broken and the fallout may just be fatal.

Ola Electric's Q4 revenue fell 62% and net loss rose 109% over Q4FY24. The recent announcement to raise Rs 1,700 cr via debt, 9 months after the IPO, should be seen in that context. Together, they paint a grim picture. I write for @themorningcontext.bsky.social

Ola Electric is in an existential crisis

A more than 50% drop in revenue and twofold increase in net loss, combined with a Rs 1,700 crore debt raise, signal deepening troubles for the EV company.
