KUDOS- Ola Electric Mobility is set to run the world’s largest women-only factory: The Indian company’s new electric scooter factory aims to build 10 mn two-wheelers annually — or 15% of the world’s e-scooters — in a massive operation run and led by exclusively women, according to a blog post. The USD 330 mn factory will employ 10k women at all levels, making it the world’s largest women-only factory as well as the only all-women manufacturing facility in the global auto industry. Under the current plan, a scooter should be manufactured every two seconds by utilizing around 300 robots to work alongside the women, reports Bloomberg. Ola’s long term goal is to rollout a full lineup of electric vehicles including three-wheelers and cars, though it is unclear whether those will also be female-run.
