    Ola Raises $500-Million Loan From Global Investors Ahead of Stock Market Debut in 2022

    Indian ride-hailing company Ola said on Thursday it had raised a $500 milllion loan from international institutional investors, as the SoftBank Group-backed start-up preps to make its stock market debut next year.

    Ola, which has a majority share of India's ride-hailing market where it competes with Uber, has plans to raise up to $1 billion through an initial public offering.

    Earlier this month, Ola Chief Executive Officer Bhavish Aggarwal said the company planned to go public in the first half of 2022.

    The proposed loan issuance got a staggering response from investors with interest and commitment of about $1.5 billion, the Bengaluru-based company said.

    Aggarwal also plans to list Ola's separate electric vehicle business in the future - a segment it has bet heavily on - and is currently building it out starting with electric scooters. Ola began deliveries of its electric scooters on Dec. 15. © Reuters
