The video has garnered significant attention on social media, with many questioning the company’s customer service and billing practices.

Comedian Kunal Kamra’s Post

The incident comes started recent criticism from comedian Kunal Kamra, who took to social media to slam Ola Electric and its CEO Bhavish Aggarwal over alleged poor after-sales service. Kamra posted a photo showing numerous scooters parked at an Ola service center, pointing out the apparent lack of customer support.

In his post, Kamra questioned the treatment of Indian consumers, particularly daily wage workers who rely on two-wheelers for their livelihood. "Do Indian consumers have a voice? Do they deserve this?" Kamra asked.

However, Bhavish Aggarwal responded sharply, implying that Kamra's tweet was a paid promotion. He asked Kamra to "sit quiet" and let the company focus on solving real customer issues. Aggarwal claimed that Ola was expanding its service network rapidly and promised to clear any backlogs soon.

The heated exchange also attracted light-hearted commentary from industrialist Harsh Goenka, who shared a picture of himself riding an Ola e-scooter. "If I have to travel short distances, say from one 'kamra' to another, I use my Ola," he stated.
