Kunal Kamra hits out at Bhavish Aggarwal yet again¡ªand it¡¯s getting spicier day by day!
Kunal Kamra has unleashed another verbal attack on Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal after his recent "future of motorcycling" video. The comedian¡¯s fiery message calls Aggarwal ¡°shameless¡± and ¡°morally bankrupt.¡± Here¡¯s a recap of the ongoing online war between the two, full of drama and sharp exchanges.
In the latest round of the Kunal Kamra vs Bhavish Aggarwal saga, the comedian has once again gone after the Ola CEO, and this time, it¡¯s over Aggarwal¡¯s recent video of himself riding the electric vehicle, the Ola Roadster. After Bhavish described the bike as the ¡°future of motorcycling,¡± Kamra didn¡¯t hold back, calling him out for being ¡°shameless¡± and ¡°morally bankrupt.¡± This attack has just added fuel to an already heated feud that¡¯s been brewing for months. But where did it all begin?
The beginning of the beef: October 2024
It all started in October 2024 when Kunal Kamra took to social media to voice his frustrations about Ola Electric¡¯s after-sales service and product issues. In a biting post, Kamra criticized the company for failing to address customer complaints, which got the attention of Bhavish Aggarwal.
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?

Or else sit quiet and let us focus on fixing the issues for the real customers. We¡¯re expanding service network fast and backlogs¡ https://t.co/ZQ4nmqjx5q
Aggarwal, never one to shy away from a confrontation, hit back at Kamra, mocking his career. He told Kamra, ¡°Comedian ban na sake, chaudhary banne chale¡± (Translation: ¡°You couldn¡¯t even make it as a comedian, now you¡¯re trying to act like you¡¯re in charge¡±). This was the first salvo in what would become an ongoing social media feud.
The war of words intensifies: October 21, 2024
Fast forward to October 21, and Kamra was at it again. He posted a tweet titled ¡°Why is OLA a public issue?¡± where he listed his grievances against the company. He pointed out that Ola Electric was subsidized by public money and accused the company of fooling the public with its claims. Kamra¡¯s post quickly went viral, leading to a fresh wave of insults and claps back from both Kamra and Aggarwal.
Why is OLA a public issue.
¡ª Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) October 21, 2024
1) The company is fooling the public.
2) The company is subsidised by public money.
3) The company is publicly listed.
I have no choice but to accept @bhash¡¯s offer to work with OLA¡

After being tagged thousands of times I anyway feel like I am an OLA employee.
OLA can seal this collaboration by committing to the below action points & looking forward to joining. pic.twitter.com/flqOgIkUo6
Kamra wasn¡¯t just pulling punches about the product, though. He also targeted the company¡¯s questionable customer service, which he believed was a serious issue. Aggarwal responded with a snarky remark calling Kamra a ¡°failed stand-up comic,¡± adding fuel to the fire.
Kamra mocking Ola¡¯s service centers: The bouncer incident
As if the previous back-and-forth wasn¡¯t enough, the comedian dropped another bomb in early November. Kamra mocked Ola¡¯s service centers, reposting a user¡¯s claim that the company had hired ¡°five to six bouncers¡± to handle customer complaints. Kamra gleefully highlighted this, making it a central part of his attacks on the company.
Minister @nitin_gadkari please look at the plight of indian customers,
¡ª Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) October 28, 2024
their voices aren¡¯t heard.
They can¡¯t get to work.
They are taking bad loans to solve an issue that is primarily Ola¡¯s responsibility¡
When will government agencies intervene? https://t.co/nJYapedavI
This move brought fresh heat to the already escalating feud, as Aggarwal retaliated by labeling Kamra¡¯s posts as ¡°paid¡± and dismissed the comedian¡¯s concerns as nothing more than attention-seeking behavior.
Kamra declares himself an ¡°Ola employee¡±
By the time December 2024 rolled around, Kamra¡¯s frustration seemed to reach a tipping point. After being tagged in customer complaints about Ola¡¯s services thousands of times, Kamra cheekily announced on Twitter that he had no choice but to ¡°accept Bhavish¡¯s job offer¡± and become an official ¡°Ola employee.¡± He jokingly proposed a list of service improvements for the company, once again calling out Ola Electric for its lack of customer service.
Kamra even joked that after responding to so many complaints, he felt more like an employee than a critic. This funny twist didn¡¯t do much to cool off the tensions, and Aggarwal remained unresponsive.
The latest attack: Ola roadster video
Kamra¡¯s most recent jab came after Bhavish Aggarwal posted a video of himself riding the Ola Roadster, the electric vehicle that he described as the ¡°future of motorcycling.¡± In a video with his wife, Aggarwal seemed to gloat about the company¡¯s newest product. Kamra didn¡¯t hold back, calling him a ¡°shameless, insensitive douchebag¡± and accusing him of being morally bankrupt.
In the new business thugs he¡¯s the most shameless, insensitive douchebag you can ever come cross.
¡ª Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) January 21, 2025
While not responding to the cry of existing customers he¡¯s here with new schemes to embezzle people of their hard earned money.
He¡¯s morally more bankrupt than thieves & drug¡ https://t.co/l27oQxJOQU
Once again, Kamra took to social media, slamming Aggarwal¡¯s focus on new products while ignoring the complaints of existing customers. This latest clash is just one chapter in an ongoing saga that shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
Will the drama ever end?
While Bhavish Aggarwal has remained largely silent in response to Kamra¡¯s latest attacks, the drama continues to build. Kamra¡¯s tweets have become a source of amusement for many, but they also shine a light on some serious issues with the company¡¯s products and services. As for Aggarwal, only time will tell whether he will respond again or let the comedian¡¯s fiery words simmer.
