Kunal Kamra-Ola Controversy: Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has thrown his latest jibe at Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal, with whom he has been engaging in a war of words over the much widely criticised after-sales service offered by Ola Electric. On Thursday, after Aggarwal shared a video showcasing Diwali celebrations by Ola employees, Kamra replied to the post by asking his online nemesis to also show a footage from the company's service stations.

"Service station ka footage dikhao…," was Kamra's response to the video. This came days after Kamra sarcastically said he had "no choice but to accept Bhavish's offer to work with Ola". Earlier, Aggarwal had dared Kamra to work at Ola service centres. The online spat started on October 6, when Kamra highlighted the plight of customers by posting a picture of Ola Electric scooters gathering dust outside a dealership.

The photo suggested the dusty two-wheelers were awaiting service. However, Aggarwal's response to Kamra's post didn't sit well with social media, whose users called out the Ola CEO's apparently dismissive tone in unison. While he did assure that the backlog in Ola Electric's after-sales complaints will be cleared "soon", the entreprenuer also accused Kamra of defaming the company with his "paid tweet".

"Since you care so much [Kunal Kamra], come and help us out! I'll even pay more than you earned for this paid tweet or from your failed comedy career. Or else sit quiet and let us focus on fixing the issues for the real customers. We’re expanding service network fast and backlogs will be cleared soon," Aggarwal had said in his reply to Kamra's post.

The Ola CEO reiterated his "offer" several times in the coming days. Finally, on October 28, Kamra wrote, "I have no choice but to accept [Bhavish Aggarwal'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."
