“Ola, Money-Grabbing or Powering Up? Funding Revelations Create a Buzz”
“Show Me the Money!”
In an electrifying disclosure, Bangalore-based start-up, Ola Electric, has just had their piggy bank topped up by a whopping $384.43 million. However, what the startup, seeming to have conveniently forgotten to mention, is that just over half of this new influx is coming from—you guessed it—Ola’s old flame. Talk about your past clinging onto you!
“The Exes That Keep Giving”
Now here’s the entertaining part. Ola Electric and ride-hailing app, Ola, claim there’s nothing going on between them anymore. Yet, they continue to share resources like two divorced parents still using the same Netflix account. Perhaps someone should remind them that breaking up means you stop sharing your toys!
Investors, understandably, are gnashing their teeth over this rather confusing relationship. It’s like watching an episode of a soap opera where the exes just can’t quit each other, except here, it’s all about the Benjamins baby!
“It’s Complicated”
If there’s anything to take away from this, it’s that Ola and Ola Electric have the world’s most confusing working relationship since Ross and Rachel. Perhaps it’s time for these two to sit down and figure out if they’re on ‘a break’ or if they’re in it for the long run. Because, at the end of the day, we all know that money doesn’t come without strings attached, especially if it’s hefty millions. And, let’s face it, sharing a Netflix password with your ex? Now, that’s what we call a modern romance!
