Comedian Kunal Kamra and Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal recently turned social media into a battlefield over the service of Ola’s electric scooters. The heated debate, which soon escalated to personal comments and name calling, also divided X users. On Wednesday, industrialist Harsh Goenka shared a special ‘kamra’ post with a picture of him on an Ola EV scooter.
“If I have to travel close distances, I mean from one ‘kamra’ to another, I use my Ola @bhash,” Goenka wrote on X. The picture features the industrialist all smiles with his blue-coloured e-scooter.
Take a look here:
The post quickly gained traction on X. A user wrote, “Yes sir. Just make sure you don’t get out of home and use it as intra-home vehicle only because outside it can breakdown or get caught in fire!” Another user commented, “This tweet will get you a lot of mileage Sir. Just don’t forget to get the perfect tyre.”
“Truly useless OLA as I prefer walking from one Kamra to another. Looks like Bhavish made this for Palaces… But sold to common men!” a third user commented. “I always like your backing of startups sir. U are a true legend,” another user wrote.
It all started when comedian Kunal Kamra tagged Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and the Government of Consumer Affairs on X and made remarks about the service situation of Ola Electric’s S1 series of EV scooters. He also asked users to share their experiences in the comment section. The post did not go unnoticed by the Ola CEO. In a sarcastic post, Aggarwal asked the comedian to join his team as his career in comedy “failed.” The verbal exchange escalated into a back-and-forth, with both Aggarwal and Kamra taking jabs at each other for over an hour on X.
