We are not here to have a nice time: CEO Aggarwal about Ola’s work culture

Ola is a place for truly ambitious and aspirational people, said Bhavish Aggarwal, founder and CEO of Ola Group, while responding to the reports about the alleged toxic work culture at the company.

Ola is for people who want to leave behind a legacy by being part of the electric vehicle revolution in the country, said Aggarwal. The yardstick at which the firm would like to be judged is the impact it is creating, he added.

“We are a very hardworking company,” Aggarwal told reporters during an event at the Ola Campus in Bengaluru. “We are not here to build me-too product or company. We’re not here to have a nice easy time and make money, obviously, all those things will happen.
