Mimicking billionaire Elon Musk’s recent orders for US federal employees to send a weekly report card of their work, Ola Founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal has also instructed employees across his companies to submit weekly reports, detailing their achievements.<\/p>\n
The new initiative, called “Kya Chai Raha Hai<\/em>?”– a Hindi phrase that translates to “What’s going on?” — requires Ola employees to send an email every week with 3-5 bullet points of the tasks they’ve completed.<\/p>\n These reports must be submitted to both their managers and a designated company email address, with no exceptions, according to Bhavish memo.<\/p>\n “We’re starting “Kya Chal Raha Hai<\/em>?” – a simple way to share your weekly updates directly with me and your managers, starting today,” the internal email read.<\/p>\n The email further asked to send \u201ca brief update to your manager and Kyachalrahahai@olagroup.in (email will be active in an hour or so) with 3-5 bullet points about what you got done last week\u201d.<\/p>\n The first report deadline was set for the day following the announcement, with future reports due every Sunday.<\/p>\n This directive comes at a time when Ola is undergoing significant changes, including a round of layoffs aimed at cutting costs and becoming profitable.<\/p>\n Ola Electric, the company’s electric vehicle arm, is reportedly planning to lay off more than 1,000 employees, marking the second major round of job cuts in just five months.<\/p>\n The layoffs will affect various departments, including procurement, customer relations, and charging infrastructure, as Ola tries to streamline its operations.<\/p>\n Mr Aggarwal’s new reporting requirement echoes a policy introduced by Musk, who recently mandated that US federal employees must submit weekly accomplishment reports in bullet points.<\/p>\n Musk’s policy was introduced in his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to improve accountability and reduce inefficiencies in government operations.<\/p>\n However, it has faced criticism for potentially lowering employee morale and job security.<\/p>\n This isn’t the first time Mr Aggarwal has taken a firm stance on employee performance. In December last year, he sent an internal email warning staff about poor attendance.<\/p>\n (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)<\/i><\/p>\n \u200bMimicking billionaire Elon Musk’s recent orders for US federal employees to send a weekly report card of their work, Ola Founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal has also instructed employees across his companies to submit weekly reports.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mimicking billionaire Elon Musk’s recent orders for US federal employees to send a weekly report card of their<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":83748,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj.jpeg",650,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj-300x185.jpeg",300,185,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj.jpeg",640,394,false],"large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj.jpeg",640,394,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj.jpeg",650,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj.jpeg",650,400,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj.jpeg",650,400,false],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/m1ehdp28_ola-founder-bhavish-aggarwalbloomberg_625x300_08_March_21-5ubrQj-590x400.jpeg",590,400,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"","author_link":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/?author=0"},"category_info":"Uncategorized<\/a>","tag_info":"Uncategorized","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=83747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/83748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=83747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=83747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=83747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
