The ride-hailing firm of India, Ola plans to go public in 2022, the final date of the Ola IPO has not been decided yet, so the Ola IPO launch date is not yet decided as well. But the company is looking forward to raising a huge sum. The Ola IPO valuation is predicted to be $1.5 to $2 billion. Let us have a look at the important news on Ola IPO 2021.
Group CEO and Chairman Bhavish Aggarwal said in an interview. He also asserted that both Ola and Ola electric, which is the electric car wing of Ola, has a strong balance sheet and enough capital. Bhavish further said that,
“We have not publicly announced any IPO plans as of now.”
He further added that,
“But, both companies in due course will go public. Ola will obviously go public sooner, it’s a more mature business — sometime next year, but we don’t have any final, final date to share with everybody.”
Last month, Ola made an announcement that Plum Wood Investment, which is an affiliate of Warburg Pincus, a global private equity firm, and Temasek, a Singapore based investor had plans to invest $500 million into its Ola IPO (initial public offerings).
