Vanguard Marks Down Ola Consumer Valuation to $70 Million Amid Financial Challenges
US asset manager Vanguard has marked down its valuation of Ola Consumer (ANI Technologies) to about $70 million, reflecting a nearly 99% decline from its peak valuation of $7.3 billion in 2021. This markdown follows Ola's reported revenue decline and widening net losses, alongside market share losses to competitors like Rapido. Ola's board has approved plans for an initial public offering, and the company states it has sufficient resources to continue operations. Moody's has downgraded Ola's credit rating, citing liquidity pressures.
