In a positive development, the upcoming electric scooter factory of Ola will be run entirely by women and employ over 10,000 women at full scale, reports Economic Times.


He stated in a blogpost that it will be the world’s largest women-only factory and the only all-women automotive manufacturing facility globally.

He further added, "This is the first in a series of initiatives we are undertaking at Ola to create a more inclusive workforce and provide economic opportunities for women across the board."


"Enabling women with economic opportunities improve 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 labour workforce can grow India's GDP by 27 per cent," he said.
