Comedian Kunal Kamra jokingly said on Monday he had “no choice” but to accept Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal’s “offer to work” at the company’s service centre if it committed to four “action points”, including completing service in seven days and free service insurance. This came days after Kamra and Aggarwal had a heated conversation on X when the comedian pointed out the piling up of Ola Electric scooters outside what appeared to be an Ola store.
During the back and forth, the Ola CEO told Kamra to “come to the service centre” if he was so wounded by the situation, and said that he would “pay better than your flop shows pay you” (referring to his stand-up comedy shows).
Kamra’s post on Monday was a response to Aggarwal’s “offer” to work at the service centre.
“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 and looking forward to joining,” he tweeted.
“Ola Electric must stand firm in their commitment to solve their service crisis. OLA must commit to completing all scooter repairs within seven business days from service request at authorised service centres,” he said.
Kamra added that for repairs beyond seven days, “customers will first receive either a temporary replacement scooter or daily conveyance reimbursement of Rs 500 until repair completion”. “Additionally, customers will earn Rs 500 per delayed day (up to Rs 50,000),” he further said.
The comedian also said that every new Ola Electric scooter should be sold with two insurances, which includes one for the vehicle and one for the services. The service insurance should be free for the customers, he added.
