Women's Empowerment, Twitter Applauds New Initiatives by Mahindra and Ola

Ola and Mahindra are two firms at the vanguard of India's expanding electric vehicle revolution, but they appear to share another trait.

Ola and Mahindra are two of India's most prominent electric car manufacturers. Both corporations' women's empowerment stands are currently trending on Twitter. Now, the CEO of Ola Bavish Aggarwal has published a video showing workers at the Futurefactory in Tamil Nadu, which manufactures electric vehicles. 

Bhavish has posted a video showing female employees at work. Agarwal stated that the production of electric scooters is very quick, and that the women employees of Future Factory are quickly boosting production.

Ola's CEO said the company aims to produce one million electric scooters by 2022 from its Future Factory. Bhavish Aggarwal made this clear last September. Agarwal had said that the entire factory would be run by women and would employ more than 10,000 women.

He also said Ola would become "world's largest women-only factory and the only all-women automotive manufacturing facility globally".

This comes shortly after Mahindra announced its first overseas initiative to support female workers in Nepal. Suman Mishra, CEO of Mahindra Electric, tweeted a photo from the Treo launch ceremony on Wednesday. Anand Mahindra also retweeted the image. Replying to the pic, Mr. Mahindra wrote: "Looks like Woman power = Renewable Energy! That's an electrifying thought..."
