Bhavish Aggarwal, Kunal Kamra Fight Over Ola EV Backlog: 'I'll Pay You More Than Your Flop Comedy Shows'

Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal and comedian Kunal Kamra have sparked a war of words on X (formerly Twitter), following Kamra’s concerns about the state of Ola’s electric scooter service centres. The exchange began when Aggarwal posted a picture of the Ola Gigafactory with a heart emoji, tagging Ola’s Business Head, Vishal Chaturvedi. Kamra quoted this post and shared a picture showing a large number of Ola scooters parked outside an Ola building, gathering dust.

In the caption, he wrote, “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 EVs? Consumer Affairs, any word? Anyone who has an issue with OLA Electric leave your story below tagging all….”

This started a “never-ending” verbal spat between the two. In response, Aggarwal sarcastically asked Kamra to “help” with the situation, offering to pay him “more than his failed comedy career”. The Ola CEO also assured that the company is working to resolve the service centre “backlogs” soon.

“Since you care so much Kunal Kamra, 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 the service network fast and backlogs will be cleared soon,” Aggarwal fired back in response to Kamra’s post.

Kamra responded by sharing a clip from one of the comedy shows, where the audience erupted in cheers as he opened for Varun Grover. He captioned the video, “On my failed comedy career here’s a clip from last year when I surprised an audience & opened for Grover…,” adding, “Anything else you arrogant, substandard, prick Bhavish Aggarwal.”

Aggarwal mockingly replied, “Chot lagi? Dard hua?” He again invited Kamra to help at the Ola service centre, noting there’s plenty of work to do. Aggarwal added, “I’ll pay better than your flop shows. Show your audience how much you really care or if you’re just all gas and BS.”
