Coronavirus: Ola To Layoff 1,400 Staff As Pandemic Hits Revenues

In an email to employees, Aggarwal made it clear that the prognosis ahead for the business is “very unclear and uncertain” and the impact of this crisis is “definitely going to be long-drawn for us”.

“The fallout of the virus has been very tough for our industry in particular. Our revenue has come down 95 per cent over the past 2 months. Most importantly, this crisis has affected the livelihoods of millions of our drivers and their families across India and our international geographies,” he said.

The company has decided to downsize and “let go” of 1,400 employees, Aggarwal added.
