Ola Electric is preparing to recruit about 1,000 senior service technicians and specialised professionals as the company moves into the next phase of its Hyperservice programme, according to people familiar with the plan.
The expansion will substantially bolster the firm's after-sales workforce of around 2,000 and follows weeks of rapid-response efforts to clear service backlogs in key markets.
"This is the second, more structural leg of Hyperservice," a senior company official said, requesting anonymity. "The taskforce was the firefight. This phase is about ensuring we don't have to go through it again."
Unlike a typical hiring expansion, the upcoming drive focuses on senior and specialist roles - from EV diagnostics experts to service centre managers and customer-facing advisors.
Insiders say the objective is to upgrade capability rather than merely increase headcount, targeting roles that influence repair accuracy, centre operations, and first-contact customer experience.

The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court refused to grant relief to a mosque seeking permission to use loudspeakers, noting it was not entitled to use the device to practise religion as a matter of right.
The court, while relying on Supreme Court judgments, said that no religion mandates prayers to be offered through voice amplifiers or beating drums.
A bench of Justices Anil Pansare and Raj Wakode said that the issue of noise pollution was recurring and took suo motu (on its own) cognisance of the same and asked the Maharashtra government to come up with an effective solution.
The court, in an order dated December 1, dismissed a petition filed by Masjid Gousiya in Gondia district seeking permission to use loudspeakers to offer prayers.
The bench noted that the petitioner was unable to submit any material to show that the use of loudspeakers was mandatory/necessary to practice their religion.

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a PIL seeking to curb the unregulated use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the judicial system.
The top court said it was aware of the ill effects of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools in the judiciary, but these issues can be appropriately addressed by it on the administrative side rather than through judicial directions.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi heard senior advocate Anupam Lal Das, appearing for petitioner Kartikeya Rawal, who had sought safeguards against the risks posed by AI-generated content and its alleged misuse in judicial processes.
The senior lawyer said the AI tools create non-existent judicial precedents or judgements and they finally become part of judicial pronouncements.
While acknowledging the concerns, the CJI said this a lesson for the Bar and the judges both.
It casts a duty on the lawyers and the judges to verify the AI .
