The Ola Electric factory, based in Tamil Nadu has announced the next phase of its production, by hiring an all-women shopfloor.

On Twitter, Bhavish Aggarwal, Co-Founder, Ola said, “The first batch of the women-exclusive workforce arrived at the factory in Chennai, Tamil Nadu brimming with enthusiasm to drive the EV revolution promised by Ola,”

Over 10,000 women will eventually work at the factory and will be responsible for the entire production of every vehicle manufactured at Ola Futurefactory, he added.

He said, “India’s women will bring the EV revolution from India to the world! When women are equal participants in India’s economic growth, India will lead the world!”

Their first task will be to ready Ola’s S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters for delivery, he further said.

Ola Electric aims to have an annual production capacity of 10 million electric scooters, which it estimates will be 15 per cent of current two-wheeler capacity. In the first phase, it has a production capacity of 2 million units.

He said, “We have invested significantly to train and upskill them in core manufacturing skills and they will be responsible for the entire production of every vehicle manufactured at Ola Futurefactory”

“Enabling women with economic opportunities improves not just their lives but that of their families and indeed the whole community. In fact, studies show that just providing women parity in the labor workforce can grow India’s GDP by 27%.” Aggarwal added.

But this requires active and conscious efforts from all of us, especially in manufacturing where participation remains the lowest at just 12%. For India to be the world’s manufacturing hub, we must prioritize upskilling and generating employment for our women workforce, he further said.

Ola Futurefactory is one step towards our vision of the world’s future – a world with clean mobility, a carbon-negative footprint, and an inclusive workforce. We will continue to take steps that get us closer to achieving each of these across Ola and encourage others to join us so we can accelerate India’s progress, Aggarwal said.
