The clash started when comedian Kunal Kamra took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize the condition of Ola-made electric scooters, questioning their quality. Kamra posted an image of several Ola scooters outside a showroom for repair and raised concerns about Indian consumers, tagging authorities like Nitin Gadkari.
Bhavish Aggarwal’s Heated Response
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… https://t.co/G2zdIs15wh pic.twitter.com/EhJmAzhCmt— Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) October 6, 2024
Though Kamra didn’t directly tag Bhavish Aggarwal, the Ola CEO responded furiously. Aggarwal accused Kamra of making a “paid tweet” and ridiculed his comedy career. He invited Kamra to help fix the issues, stating, “I’ll even pay more than you earned from this paid tweet or your failed comedy career.”
Kamra’s Bold Challenge
Unfazed by the attack, Kamra shot back at Aggarwal’s accusations, sarcastically commenting on Aggarwal’s tone. He also challenged Aggarwal to prove that his posts were paid, stating that if proven, he would delete all his social media accounts.
Social Media Frenzy
The public exchange quickly gained traction, with netizens reacting to the heated argument. Some supported Kamra’s concerns about the quality of Ola scooters, while others backed Aggarwal’s efforts to address customer issues.
