Ola Electric, which made a stock exchange debut two months ago, has been in the middle of considerable social media angst recently. On Sunday, things took an unexpected turn. Comedian Kunal Kamra and Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal engaged in a heated social media spat, that turned viral on X. While Kamra raised issues around the service quality related to Ola EVs, tagging road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari, Aggarwal referred to the comedian's tweet as "paid". Kamra posted an image showing many EV scooters parked at an Ola service centre, prompting Aggarwal to ask his critic to help fix the issues or sit quiet.
In the midst of the spat, the 39-year-old entrepreneur has acknowledged the need to fix issues. "We're expanding the service network fast and backlogs will be cleared soon," he posted on X on Sunday. A day later, on Monday, Ola Electric shares fell around 8 per cent, marking an overall 43 per cent drop from its all-time high of ₹157.40 apiece.
