Despite the growth in revenue, Ola reported a consolidated loss of Rs 1,522.3 crore in FY22, which reflects a YoY increase of approximately 36.3 percent.

Olas employee benefit expenses, which include components such as salaries, wages, contributions to Provident Fund, and staff welfare, were recorded at Rs 552 crore in FY22, in contrast to Rs 436 crore in FY21.
ANI Technologies operates a range of subsidiaries, which includes entities like Ola Electric, Pickup.ai, Ola Fleet Technologies, Ola Financial Services, and international operations such as Ola Singapore Pte Ltd. These operations extend beyond India to regions including the USA and France.
