Hello ! Welcome to my blog. So I think you have realized that on which topic we are going to discuss about by seeing the abovementioned pic. Yes, you're right. We are going to discuss about one of the most prebooked vehicle in the world - The OLA Electric Scooter. So let's learn something new.


OLA Cabs, an Indian multinational ridesharing company based in Bengaluru, Karnataka. On October 2019, the Ola Cabs were valued around $6.9 billion in US. It has been a popular cab service in India for a long time. It has been a valued and trustworthy company for a long time. Its key features were the well-protected rides and affordable travel. It was co-founded by Bhavish Aggarwal and Ankit Bhati.

And this business was raised from $0 to $6.9 billion in just 9 years of OLA. Thus, due to a huge capital, Bhavish Aggarwal has now started investing in small tech startups. And one of his best investment was the OLA Electric Scooter. They are making an affordable electric scooter for the public with high performance and good stability. They have collaborated with Netherlands-based Startup Etergo . This company named this scooter as AppScooter. OLA acquired this Netherlands-based company six months ago. Now it has planned to make $320 million EV Manufacturing Plant at Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu. Its phase-I is nearly in completion this month and soon the E-scooters will be manufactured and will be ready for sale this month.
