Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra is making headlines again as he takes a jab at Ola Electric and its CEO Bhavish Aggarwal. Known for his sharp wit, Kamra has been vocal about the ongoing issues with Ola’s after-sales service and product reliability, turning this dispute into a social media spectacle.
In a series of tongue-in-cheek posts, Kamra humorously declared his intention to join Ola Electric, claiming, “I have no choice but to accept @bhash’s offer to work with OLA.”
Kamra’s decision to “join” the electric scooter manufacturer is anything but straightforward. He laid out a list of conditions for this hypothetical collaboration, calling on Ola to take responsibility for its service crisis. Among his demands, Kamra insists that Ola must complete all scooter repairs within seven business days. If repairs take longer, he wants customers to either receive a temporary replacement scooter or daily reimbursements of Rs. 500. Furthermore, he argues that every new Ola electric scooter should come with two forms of insurance, one for the scooter and another for services, at no extra cost to the customer.
His comments come after a flurry of public criticism aimed at Ola for its handling of customer complaints and after-sales service. Recently, Kamra shared a video highlighting the plight of a dissatisfied customer in Solapur, Maharashtra, whose Ola scooter was in disrepair due to a lack of qualified technicians at the service center.
In a pointed tweet, he tagged Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, urging government intervention to address the struggles faced by Ola customers. “Minister @nitin_gadkari, please look at the plight of Indian customers; their voices aren’t heard. They can’t get to work,” Kamra tweeted, emphasizing that many customers are taking on bad loans to resolve issues that should be Ola’s responsibility. He questioned when government agencies would step in to help.
Kamra’s feud with Aggarwal has become a spectacle on social media, with exchanges ranging from serious critiques of customer service to playful jabs. He even jokingly stated that after being tagged countless times, he feels like he is already an Ola employee. This mix of humor and genuine concern has kept audiences engaged, turning what started as a critique of customer service into an ongoing dialogue about accountability in the electric vehicle industry.
Kamra’s claim of joining Ola Electric brings a spotlight to issues that customers have long raised. Whether or not Ola responds to his demands, his voice has amplified the call for accountability, leaving the public to wait and see if any change is on the horizon.
