Ola Electric’s New Factory Integrates Women into the Electric Mobility Market

Bhavish Aggarwal, leader of this major business, reports that electric mobility is an offshoot of the Ola startup. According to Bhavish, the official launch will be in the middle of next year. The main objective of his new venture is to globally offer what he defined as ‘clean mobility.’

In addition to concern about the current environmental negligence worldwide and the ambition to be among the largest electric scooter manufacturers in the world, Bhavish is also worried about the lack of women’s inclusion in this field. The decision made was to employ more than 10,000 women in administrative and operational roles.

Futurefactory’s Differentiation, Ola’s Branch

According to Bhavish, Futurefactory, Ola’s branch, aims with this hiring of more than 10,000 women to become the largest and only factory of vehicles run solely by women. The desire to make this a reality is consolidating more each day.

Women’s participation in the industry is still low. It is estimated that only 12% of women work in operational and administrative positions in the industrial sector.

The focus is also on making India the manufacturing center of the world, valuing the talent and ability of women to lead a large factory. The use of robots will provide a significant differentiation in the concept of electric vehicles.

Ola Electric’s Ambitions

With the support of SoftBank Group and Tiger Global, Ola Electric plans to manufacture one electric scooter every two seconds. But this will only be possible after 100% of the planned expansion is completed, already by next year.

The factory will receive 3,000 robots that will work alongside women. Bhavish believes that women will feel happier and have their lives improved when they take on the responsibilities of the factory. Bhavish also aims to create a complete lineup of electric vehicles, which will include cars, three-wheeled vehicles, and electric scooters.
