Ola's Chief Executive Officer and Founder Bhavish Aggarwal has incorporated a new firm called Krutrim SI Designs Pvt.

The company was registered on April 5, 2023, with a paid-up capital of Rs 1 lakh, according to data from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. It was registered at the Registrar of Companies, Bengaluru, where Aggarwal's Ola is headquartered.
