In the Indian market, Ola Electric Vehicles are the top seller. The entire Ola team performed admirably.

[@mePratikNayak]

Best EV in the market, really Bhavesh Aggrawal and the Ola team have done a great job.

[@satyabhashanam9269]

Awesome!! We need youth like him to build something for the country. Running to the US and earn dollars is too petty to be a dream!!

[@tamanna4697]

they had such a disaster in the beginning but now it seems to be going stable, all the best to them and all other ev companies, may the best wins 👍

the perosn who can not respect and not take care of his employee . that compnay can not become big and long lasting .

[@kiranm2192]

Sales pitch questions was good

[@lijomathew2128]

Irony! Ola electric acquired etergo BV from Netherlands which was at the verge of bankruptcy. He didn’t make anything. The only reason why his scooters are failing is because it’s not made for Indian weather and It was designed for European roads and their climate. Appreciate your passion Bhavesh! Appreciate your factory! It’s great to be first but don’t compromise with the quality of your product. Don’t loose people’ trust.

[@user-pakshibhithi10]

Well, he didn't claim that he made EVs. He said in the video itself that they'll try to acquire any company that has the technology needed to achieve their goals.

He is lying....employees cry there....don't call it your passion....go and treat your employees with respect....MNC are better than ola atleast they respect their employees.....you will never succeed ..

[@swastinsahoo2397]
