Standup comic Kunal Kamra’s tweet triggered Ola co-founder and boss Bhavish Aggarwal over two-wheelers from the company gathering dust at several of its service centers. The post was in response to Bhavish Aggarwal’s OLA GIGAFACTORY tweet. In his post, Kamra asked if Indian consumers have a voice and did they deserve a fate like the abandoned electric two wheelers at OLA’s service dumpyard (even as its jingoistic CEO is launching several new half baked services and products).
Reacting to his tweet, the OLA boss challenged the standup comic to join the company to work for them and get paid more than their “ failed standup comedy career .” Responding to yet another of Kamra’s tweets, the irate, uncouth CEO quipped, “Chot lagi? Dard hua? Aaja service center. Bahut kaam hai.
I will pay better than your flop shows pay you.” In yet another tweet responding to Kamra’s question on “ Total Refund ” for OLA customers, Bhavish Aggarwal remarked, “Come and do some real work rather than armchair criticism .” On Kamra’s further suggestions on improving OLA’s fiasco, Aggarwal wrote, “Comedian ban na sake, chaudhary banne chale! ” Do indian consumers have a voice? Do they deserve this? Two wheelers are many daily wage workers lifeline.
.. @nitin_gadkari is this how Indians will get to using EV’s? @jagograhakjago any word? Anyone who has an issue with OLA electric leave your story below tagging all.

twitter.com/1eQ2VnUiSI — Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) October 6, 2024 None of Bhavish Aggarwal’s responses were addressing the issues cited by Kunal Kamra (and scores of customers tweeting below their own problems with the OLA EV bought by them); rather, all of his reactions were ill-tempered retorts for which the wannabe desi melon musk was adequately schooled by netizens (and a handful of other comedians and entrepreneurs). Here are a few OLA e-lafda.

Absolutely crass tweet. Invest more in helping clients than your EGO https://t.co/YI9VezNOvC — Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj (@DeepikaBhardwaj) October 6, 2024 I woke up from nap and found the CEO of the World's fourth largest EV company (Excluding China) talk like a thug from Trilokpuri to a washed up stand up comedian whose last funny joke was in the Bronze age.

Taking a faulty vehicle to a service centre must be challenging for customers.

Almost every second Ola scooter owner I have met has some issues- either the product or the after sale service. This was not long ago. Livemint ran a piece on how the front fork arm not holding up endangered lives of riders.
Instead of meltdown, make better...

If you are not able to handle the quality of services then leave the job. After considerable savings one is being to able to afford your product & customer is the king.

https://t.co/CINd4inDYW — Amit Schandillia (@Schandillia) October 6, 2024 Seems @bhash has open a can of worms while attacking Kunal Kamra..
Its like an open secret, Ola was doing a paid promotion since last few weeks but not many were talking about it. Now unless theres a smart damage control, it will backfire badly. #OlaElectric pic.

— Siddharth (@DearthOfSid) October 6, 2024 Why are you worried about @kunalkamra88 & his “failed career” why not accept your massive flop show & awful performance? Just because you managed to milk some funds doesn’t cover up your terrible performance @bhash Learn some manners & start treating your customers better...
