In recent news, Ola Electric’s Chief Technology and Product Officer, Suvonil Chatterjee, has announced his resignation from the company. Chatterjee, who previously held key positions at companies like Flipkart, played a crucial role in the development of Ola Krutrim and Ola Maps during his tenure at Ola Electric. His departure comes amidst a series of C-suite level exits at the company, including the resignation of the Chief Human Resources Officer and the Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.
Ola Electric has been making significant strides in expanding its service network, with the recent opening of 3,200 service stations across the country. However, the company has been undergoing a restructuring exercise that has resulted in several key executives leaving the company. This restructuring is expected to impact around 500 employees as part of efforts to improve margins and drive long-term profitability.
Despite these challenges, Ola Electric has managed to reduce its losses by 5% year-on-year for Q2FY25, with revenue seeing a significant growth of 38.5% year-on-year. The company’s shares are currently trading at ₹91.32 on the BSE, down by 2.28% at the time of this report.
Overall, the departure of Suvonil Chatterjee and other key executives, along with the ongoing restructuring efforts, signal a period of change and transformation for Ola Electric. It will be interesting to see how the company navigates these challenges and continues its growth trajectory in the competitive EV market.
