Ola's co-founder Bhavish Aggarwal has announced a significant shift for the company, moving its entire workload from Microsoft Azure to its own Krutrim cloud within the next week. This decision comes in response to a controversy involving LinkedIn, a Microsoft-owned platform, which removed a post by Aggarwal criticizing the use of 'they/them' pronouns, described as 'pronoun illness'. Aggarwal's reaction to the removal was to sever ties with Microsoft, emphasizing a move towards self-reliance with Ola's in-house cloud infrastructure.
