Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra reignited his feud with Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal during his controversial show in Mumbai, delivering sharp jabs at the electric vehicle company and its leadership. Kamra mocked Aggarwal’s handling of customer complaints and Ola Electric‘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 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 referenced Aggarwal’s recent email to employees, which mirrored Elon Musk’s management style, asking for daily reports. “I have stopped tweeting about Ola because people keep blaming me. ‘Because of you, my stocks have dipped!'” Kamra remarked during the show.
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.
