Ola making loss in India. Mahindra selling not tractors in mainstream category of 55hp and above. It's selling in the toy category under 10hp. Mahindra Thar selling in US not as a road worthy vehicle but as a large ATV ie a full size jeep like product at less cost than a typical ATV ( though lower tech) . Not licenced to use on public roads.

EVs Catching fire is an over exaggerated reporting, only a handful of OLA caught fire that too after some kind of damage in an accident. However OLA does have legit design and build quality issue, front suspension was the infamous among them. The only EV in India that had some sort of legit battery issue is Pure EV and they are declining as a result of that. People who are talking about Tesla catching fire, less than 100 Teslas caught fire(among the few millions that they have sold so far) and most of them did because of some sort of damage that happened in accident. The only global EV that had genuine battery fire issue was GM Bolt EV from a particular batch. But again, there are thousands and thousands of ICE car that catch fire every single day but that are not reported in media because that's so common, EVs are 100 times less likely to catch fire than their ICE counterpart.

amazing debate! i agree with a lot of points that Caleb put forth but, i also feel that Ola has a really good chance to make it big whenever they "enter" the international market, majorly because of the price one important thing that i think you guys missed is quality assurance/safety Indian vehicle compliance is lax compared to that of other countries and there's news of Olas catching fire, malfunctioning, breaking down, etc.

I guess this debate was recorded before Bhavish's tweet few days ago which was the major point of the debate. They are dependent so much on external technologies from other countries and they are still planning to start R&D, meaning they don't have a proper R&D! They should have started this way back before diversifying and getting into too many sectors at once. That way, they will have competitive advantages. I'd say they are far from Other Indian companies and too minuscule to be even compared with Tesla. Both those companies have real R&D going on for years.

Hi Caleb. Very nice videos as always. I just wanted correct one thing. I maybe wrong though. In my opinion based on data on consumerism I read about the Indian market I understand that the top 1% and 10% a small section of society is the Ultra rich but middle class that most businesses target usually are the next 10-20% of population by income. So in all I feel only the top 70% of the Indian market is the consumerist market. So when you said 90-95% of India (around 09:50) knows about Ola I feel it might not be exactly true. Maybe the middle Middle Class may also know about Ola. But 30-40% of Indians are at the bottom of the Indian population by income I don't think they might be familiar.

Few reasons why s1 pro sells well: 1. Good specifications 2. Decent pricing 3. Relentless execution 4. Higher reach due to online model 5. Ability to raise vc 6. They think big

The easiest way for them to have a trial run would be Netherlands.. They already sell Etergo scooters so why not rebrand the Dutch operation as Ola electric and then try to expand from there. Instead of focusing on multiple fronts they could target the Netherlands' EU neighbors first..

Indian companies selling outside has basically 3 distinct markets. 1. Immediate neighborhood countries 2. Developing countries(LATAM and Africa primarily) and 3. Developed world (Primarily Australia, South Africa, US and UK). For the first category India sells exactly the same thing as the domestic markets, Tata's cars, Bajaj's bikes are prime example that they sell in droves in countries like Nepal. For the second category cheaper built things such as 3ws and 2ws are exported to south american countries, african countries and sometimes even some poorer middle eastern countries such as Syria, Iraq. You will see TVS and Bajaj and Hero dominating here. The 3rd category includes the newer Indian things, as the Indian economy is growing, so is the buying power of consumers and stringent safety norms, we are seeing better and better vehicles from Mahindra, Tata and Royal Enfield and all of them export their best bikes with some more safety/emission norms for the target market to the developed world. They are considered a cheaper but well built vehicles in those countries. Americans love Mahinda's off road vehicles and RE bikes, they get nostalgic of their vehicles built in 70s and 80s from these vehicles. On the other hand, Australians found the older Mahinda pick ups as their Utes, but the new XUV700 is actually making marks in Aus market. South Africa is somewhere in the middle, for them Indian top models are actually mid range and again Mahindra makes their mark there too. I think OLA has got a chance because they are the first EV company in India that are really utilizing the economy of scale and if and when they can build their battery cells, that will bring the cost down further, but it's still few years away. The primary reason India hasn't done well in exporting is because the domestic market is too easy and lucrative to focus outside, the secondary reason is to make a global name one has to build a quality product, which wasn't there until Royal Enfield and now Mahindra and I am sure soon Tata will join the game too.

​@@backstagewithmillionairesbro you didn't mention Mahindra for any reason it is doing well in the global market and has a good presence in South Africa and Australia and usa ( farming and agricultural equipment). And I saw a case study of Indian two wheelers dominated existing Chinese bikes in Africa

to get global market shares indian companies have to focus on quality with low price, like their profit margins will be very low due to this but that is how the japanese did it. To gain a reputation you have to do high quality with medium price (not low because then people start associating the brand with negative things like "oh its a poor people brand" so medium price)

The thing which distinguishes indian consumers with rest of others especially those in the europe and north america is that Indians are extremely price conscious, they may compromise on quality but not on price. The reason being that is simple less income percapita and often times one person is earning to take care of his other family members,so indeginious companies didn't bother to invest on R&D which is again the reason why Indian companies didn't compete with global companies in terms of quality. But as economy grows new companies are surely going to make their good footprint globally.

Waiting for the Ola ipo

Not a single company will emerge as a global leader right now folks " righ now " But I can see the growth path of each and every manufacturer. The mahindra entering in Australian , and African markets with new models which is now comparable to global standards with a cheap cost. Increasing demand of Royal Enfield motorcycles in West as they are improving their models. I don't know specific about tata why they are not entering into the markes ( still when they have experience from jlr, if I was the CEO I would have gone for this one). I would definitely love to see max 1 to 2 companies to export in much markets in a decade. If you will ask me specifically about ola I myself dont trust this company going hard just because it doesn't have an experience weather if u will ask me about old companies I can say that yes they have capabilities and have a lot of experience to go hard even on premium categories ( hopefully let's see in future).

Automobile sector is hard. I don’t think we can equate that to a tech product launch. Even multiple models of Tesla launch were delayed. Some for a year or more. I feel their customer experience issues seems to have slowed. They should be able to bounce back in other countries as well.

I think the biggest hurdle Bhavesh going to face is western markets. unlike India in Europe & America people are more concerned about fit & finish of the vehicle for Indian old re350 were hit but in north America & Europe people hate that brand until they put efforts to make it competitive to European brands. so, I think if they are going to market which are not price conscious they need to modify their product & make it little more well-built.

Good debate. I side with Caleb on this debate. The history and optics of Ola (especially Ola electric) have many red flags IMO. Ola is another of those new age (read lofty valuation) companies that will be in a rush to give its investors (and founders) some handsome returns (at the expense of the retail investor). It will see exactly the same plight as PayTM, Zomato, etc with no path to profitability whatsoever. Personally, I am not particularly proud of this brand regardless of its global presence or otherwise. The day when it enters Nifty Next 50, you'll know exactly what I am talking about.

One thing I didn't get a chance to cover in the debate is Ola Cabs' failed international expansion under Bhavish. You can interpret that as a pattern, or as a mistake Bhavish has learned from, but given the pattern we're already observing with OE's announcements/Bhavish's promises vs. the ground reality, I find it hard to be optimistic. Really hope they prove me wrong though! Global S1 exports will likely be a loss leader for them unless they mark up their prices - but given the markets they're entering (mainly low/mid income), I can't see that working well. They'll be playing an executions game with thin margins, and execution isn't historically their strong suit. -Caleb

Check out the Incoming and outgoing FDI investment statistics. Indian MNCS are gradually increasing their investment footprint across the globe , and the year with the most outward FDI from India was 2022. USA interestingly is the largest destination for india's FDI. Indian firms have spent several billions in USA and employ half a million workers in USA. Naturally this is much less than the incoming FDI to india, but eventually both incoming and outgoing FDI will increase. Its a sign of prosperity.

I was completely by Celeb's side the whole debate but when he mentioned about his competitors with figures, i am like if OLA doesn't mess things up by itself i don't really see people not choosing OLA over others, they are offering literally double the numbers as compared to their competitors with possibly better tech integration and design. It's true that till they get into those markets they possibly will have a lot more competitors but still the numbers being offered by OLA at that cost would be hard to match. Also this OLA division needs to perform exceptionally well at any cost else once they loose the trust from Global market it will effect the whole brands future in a real bad way.

Bharatiya brands are relatively new compared to western brands. We just arrived on the scene. We didn’t have a robust manufacturing or logistics ecosystem here. Everything will change in the next 10years.

Even US is unable to crack chinese market... If any brands try to enter China and want to do business either you have to partner with their domestic brands by sharing tech or face the loss ... and i think India should also try to move in that path as well...

Ola reporting has changed a lot on BWM. The prior reporting seemed to be quite negative, but now its very positive. Overall since Etergo designed it for europe, its quite suitable for europe. I think the investment to enter international markets, and regulations can be roadblocks. Tesla also had claimed rapid international expansion , but it took time. Overall, Indian companies love to make wild claims and rarely deliver on schedule. The high speed vahnde bharat train runs at the same speed as the regular trains. Most of the global production of covid vaccine was sold in india, the DRDO 2DG covid treatment drug was widely praised but it never was exported. I read daily about new highways that will link indian cities with very short commute times, yet a trip on any Indian highway with slow moving trucks in all lanes makes this impossible. Just look at the state of the Bangalore metro, and traffic to see how claims vs reality are. I think you need to consider the propensity for exaggerated claims when you stidy indian businesses. Indian companies usually deliver but rarely on time. I expect Ola to do very well. They are well financed, their r&d is done in coventry uk (same as royal Enfield), which is s global ev center. They have delivered an escooter in india that has completely crushed the legacy and new startups in this space as well as the cheap imports. They expanded their sales centers way faster across india than any of the legacy players that limited their sales. The company is focusing on establishing indian market first before jumping into the complicated international space and avoiding doing a Byjus like expansion. Sure they have inherited the indian tendency for over exaggeration but thats very common in india (Tata claims Air India will soon reclaim the leadership in global luxury air travel).

This is a chicken and egg debate. Do GDP and politics come before culture, or does culture influence economies and politics? Culture is the behavior of a specific people group. People = culture. Can't say the same thing about GDP or politics. GDP ≠ people. Geopolitics ≠ people. But they do influence people once they're at play, hence the chicken and the egg. Both are true. Culture leads to economies and politics, and these in turn influence culture. A people group's behavior is influenced by their environment - access to resources, diet, environmental factors, genetics/DNA, etc. These are the preexisting conditions that influence culture. America is prosperous because the country's geography is advantageous. They're also killers - immigrants came to North America, wiped out the existing population, and then extracted the land's natural resources to get rich - then they did the same thing to other countries. This is a culture of domination and destruction - it's a part of America's identity and culture. This culture led to America's economy being the strongest in the world, and this strength and economic coddling over several generations resulted in a mentally weak society. This new, confused culture will surely have a negative economic impact on itself in the future. India, from what I've understood, doesn't have the bloodthirsty cultural DNA that early USA did. India hasn't really had the opportunity to express itself in that way as a culture because, as you rightly said, external factors have not allowed it to. "Rules of the free market" have only been a thing in India for ~32 years, which is why we're only now seeing India come into its own as a globally recognized economy. I'm excited to be here in India during this awakening, where dormant ambition and thirst for success is finally something that young people are discovering within themselves, after generations of restraint and oppression. This was there during colonization and socialism, and even more recently with the national obsession over safe, cushy MNC jobs or safe govt. jobs (a necessary step to get India to where it is today economically, but now it is becoming a hindrance to innovative thinking). Culture is super relevant to the success of a country's businesses. So are external factors like GDP and geopolitics. Both can be understood and appreciated simultaneously. A short video debate spanning dozens of topics isn't a great medium to explore these kinds of nuances, hence the pragmatic generalization, and I don't think anyone thought that I was earnestly trying to say that every one of India's 140 crore people are conservative spenders. -Caleb

@@backstagewithmillionaires You have explained your position, I thank you for that and I agree. I'll tell you how I interpreted when you said what you said and have said in the past- "indians are an inherently inferior people with no balls to take risks". When you talk about our "culture", you need to use that word carefully, it has a very long history (as you know I'm sure) and lot of identity is attached with it. You could be referring to our संस्कृति or our habits. And I'm sure you consider yourself Indian through and through, but it's going to be tough to remove your assumed birthplace (not India) from what you say. It can easily be misinterpreted as a foreigner talking trash about our "culture". People with context sure would know or otherwise people might want to give you benefit of the doubt. If you just put a caveat that "due to India's history etc etc, current major Indian spending habit is conservative", this could have been avoided. It's not that big of a prefix in my opinion. If you do generalizations, you're open to misinterpretations like these, and on the scale of the internet, that's waiting to happen. But of course, that's a choice for you to make. And just a correction, free market hasn't been in india for only the last 32 years, it is what used to exist before colonialism (roughly). So, if you still think Indians have never done this before and it will be a new thing for us, we were a third of the world's GDP, and we will do it again (a realistic equivalent because new lands have been discovered since then creating more competition). We have various Gods of money and prosperity, so those ideals are there, we just have to see what the government of the day deems politically fit because we weren't a democracy at our economic peak. So let's see what happens. Please continue your good work 👍
