The equity investment round was led by Temasek, a sovereign fund.
Overall, the company has received around $1 billion in both equity and debt funding, reported Tracxn. Ola Electric Mobility has been actively looking to file for an IPO.

A draft red herring prospectus is a document that is filed by companies with regulatory bodies. This document indicates that the company is looking forward to launching its IPO. As of now, SEBI has yet to give its approval.
Interestingly, the company also plans to launch its e-rickshaw, which will be sold directly to consumers, as per an Economic Times report. The exact date of the launch of the vehicle is not known.
