Kamra posted a photo of multiple scooters parked at an Ola service centre, showing the company's apparent lack of customer care. In his essay, Kamra questioned the treatment of Indian consumers, particularly daily wage earners who rely on two-wheelers for a living.
However, Bhavish Aggarwal did not take Kamra's comments lightly. Responding on social media, he claimed that Kamra's message was a sponsored promotion and asked him to "sit quiet" while the company focused on real customer complaints.

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
He further said that Ola was aggressively extending its service network and that any backlogs would be cleared as soon as possible.
