Ola Electric is looking to layoff 400-500 employees in the coming weeks, to streamline focus on control operating costs ahead of its upcoming IPO.
The total number of employees that will be laid off is subject to change as the leadership is currently determining the scale of layoffs that will affect various departments, ET reported.
ET stated that some of the laid off employees will be replaced with new hires at lower costs but the overall number is going to decrease.
