Ola is under fire on the internet these days after CEO Bhavish Aggarwal¡¯s ugly online spat with comedian Kunal Kamra. Aggarwal started the back and forth when he attacked Kamra's post on X, the former name of Twitter, for criticizing the way Ola electric scooters were stored outside of what looked to be an Ola dealership. If Kamra was truly worried about the scooters, Aggarwal offered to pay him to visit and assist the company; if not, the Ola CEO pleaded with Kamra to "shut up" and allow Ola to handle the "true customer issues."
Now, a man is claiming how Ola¡¯s office culture is pathetic in a viral Reddit post.
What did the man claim about Ola?
Ola is a pathetic organisation - for their employees and customers equally.

A Reddit user @u/Epsilon-Phoenix shared a lengthy post elaborating about Ola internal office culture and not it¡¯s not all good things. The user shares story about how his ¡°workaholic brother¡± changed from being a lively person to being dead inside.
¡°7 months at Ola broke my workaholic brother. My cousin is extremely lively. Started his career after graduation 2 years back. While I warned him not to but he would pull off 12-14 hours at times during peak working season,¡± man wrote in the post.
The man also added in the post that senior management at Ola is very toxic. The user added, ¡°However, since he has joined Ola he seems to be dead inside. He and two of his colleague friends said that the company completely crushes your unique working styles. The senior management is nothing but moholle ka gunda. Cursing with pathetic slangs is pretty common within the organisation. The senior teams of the organisation believes in only work and no reward.¡±
The man also shared customer¡¯s point of view. ¡°My neighbours in out apartment have bought Ola Electric within past 5 months and both of them have been to service centres more than 4 times now. Sometimes the vehicle won't even start. The Ola can drivers im different cities have repeatedly told me about how Ola uses tactics to deduct their rightful payments.
It's an absolute trash company. Pathetic company values and founder,¡± the user added further.
