Ola’s artificial intelligence (

) arm

has seen the departure of at least half a dozen executives who were in leadership roles and over a dozen other employees in the past year, ET has learnt.

The executives who have left the firm include Vipul Shah (vice president, products), Gautam Bhargava (vice president, head of AI engineering), Samrat Saha (director, machine learning), Achal Kumar Mall (director of product management), Mikhil Raj (senior director of product management), and Ashok Jagannathan (vice president).

Most of the exits took place between March and November 2024, some quitting within a year of joining the firm and a few leaving in a matter of months.

ET reported last year that Ravi Jain, who was brought in from Ola Electric in May 2023 as business head, had left the firm. Jain’s LinkedIn shows he quit in November.

Of the seven executives, while Shah, Bhargava and Jain were from senior management, the rest were from junior- to mid-management levels, said a company executive on the condition of anonymity.

Two more employees—Vishal Mahuli, who was leading data and AI Engineering, and Utkarsh Garg, associate director, product —left the firm last year.
