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. EY will support Ola in ensuring regional compliance readiness for its growing retail footprint, the sources stated.
