Ola Electric ropes in EY to strengthen regional compliance amid expansion

Ola Electric Mobility has roped in Ernst & Young to strengthen regional compliances across its recently expanded distribution network in the country, according to sources familiar with the development. The company has initiated the move as it phases out its warehouse-based distribution system and transitions to a direct-to-store retail model. As part of this transition, Ola Electric is eliminating the intermediate warehousing layer, allowing vehicles, spare parts, and accessories to be shipped directly from the factory to stores, sources said. This shift is expected to significantly improve inventory turnover, reduce delivery time, and streamline the overall customer experience.

It is essential to underscore that vehicle deliveries are sequenced to follow confirmed orders with full payment, a standard and universally-accepted industry practice, it said.
