Ola Electric Shares Hit All-Time Low!

Ola Electric shares are at an all time low and the promoter has been reducing his stake. This is a good moment to pause and reflect on how we approach such companies as investors. Many people invest in loss making startups hoping for listing gains. Sometimes that works. Often it does not. More importantly, it is not a sustainable way to build long term wealth. Stock markets eventually reward only one thing. A business that earns more than it spends. Unit economics matter. After taxes, something must be left on the table. You do not need a commerce degree to understand this. If a company cannot make money per unit, scale only magnifies the problem. Burning cash and blitz scaling sound exciting in presentations. Sustainability shows up only in profits.
