Twitter Feud Erupts Between Ola CEO and Kunal Kamra Over EV Service

Ola's founder and CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, recently got into a heated exchange with comedian Kunal Kamra on X (formerly Twitter) regarding the service issues of Ola Electric's S1 series scooters. The argument began when Kamra posted an image of an Ola dealership showing numerous scooters parked outside and gathering dust.

Kamra captioned the image with, “Do Indian consumers have a voice? Do they deserve this?” and emphasized that “two-wheelers are many daily wage workers' lifeline,” pointing out how essential scooters are for gig workers' livelihoods.

Kamra didn’t stop there—he tagged the Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, asking, “Is this how Indians will get to using EVs?” He also included the Department of Consumer Affairs, asking for their feedback and invited others who had faced issues with Ola Electric to share their stories in the comments.

Since you care so much @kunalkamra88, come and help us out! I’ll even pay more than you earned for this paid tweet or from your failed comedy career.

Or else sit quiet and let us focus on fixing the issues for the real customers. We’re expanding service network fast and backlogs… https://t.co/ZQ4nmqjx5q

In response, Bhavish Aggarwal accused Kamra of posting a “paid tweet.” He wrote, “Since you care so much @kunalkamra88, come and help us out! I’ll even pay more than you earned for this paid tweet or from your failed comedy career.” He further added, “Or else sit quiet and let us focus on fixing the issues for the real customers.” Aggarwal also defended Ola by saying, “We’re expanding service network fast and backlogs will be cleared soon.”
