During a contentious show in Mumbai, comedian Kunal Kamra reignited his feud with Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal, targeting Ola Electric and its leadership. Kamra criticized Aggarwal's handling of customer complaints and drew attention to the company's reported issues.
Kumal Kamra again takes a jab at Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal
Responding to an audience member's question about Ola scooters catching fire, Kamra quipped, "Indian businessmen don't even admit when they're wrong. Take the Ola guy, for example. What did I say that made him so angry? It's simple—you manufacture two-wheelers, and neither of the wheels works. And yet, he tells me, 'Come work with us, let's build India together.'"
Kamra went on to criticise Aggarwal's focus on launching new scooter colours instead of addressing technical issues. "Maybe a different shade will fix the problem," he joked, adding that Aggarwal should prioritise refunds for customers over offering him money.
Kunal Kamra vs Bhavish Aggarwal: A history of feuds
This isn't the first time Kamra has clashed with Aggarwal. Last October, Kamra criticized Ola Electric on X (formerly known as Twitter) for rising consumer complaints and delays in refunds. Aggarwal responded by inviting Kamra to help out at Ola's service centers, promising him better pay "than his flop shows."
Kamra also mentioned Aggarwal's recent email to employees, which resembled Elon Musk's approach by requiring daily reports. During the show, he commented, "I’ve stopped tweeting about Ola because people keep blaming me, saying, ‘Because of you, my stocks have dipped!’"
Ola Electric has faced significant scrutiny, with its share price falling below Rs 50 last week, far below its IPO price of Rs 76. The company has received over 10,000 complaints, prompting the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) to issue a notice. Kamra criticized these agencies as "toothless," claiming they back down when confronted with Aggarwal's political connections.
In one of the posts on X (formerly Twitter) last month, Kamra urged the Ola CEO to focus on the company's 'automobiles being immobile… "
"Raja Ram Mohan Roy fought against the practice of Sati; it was abolished in the year 1829. The last documented case of Sati in India was as recent as 1987. Please focus on your automobiles being immobile," he said.
