The heated back-and-forth between comedian Kunal Kamra and Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal was rekindled on 28 October after Kamra said he was ready to take up Aggarwal’s offer to work at an Ola service centre. The two went head-to-head on X on 6 October, when the comedian shared a photo of a swarm of Ola Electric scooters outside a dealership, presumably waiting to be serviced. That led to a heated exchange of words, including accusations that Kamra had been paid for his tweets, that he was a “failed comedian”, as well as the not-quite-serious job offer.

“Aaja service center,” Aggarwal told the comedian on 6 October. “Bahut kaam hai. I will pay better than your flop shows pay you.”

Three weeks later, Kamra has responded, saying that he has “no choice” but to accept given that he already feels like an employee of the company “after being tagged thousands of times” by customers. However, he wants to set some ground rules before he accepts his appointment letter. “OLA can seal this collaboration by committing to the below action points & looking forward to joining,” he said in a tweet.

“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 demanded.

He also wants the company to provide the aggrieved customers with a replacement scooter or a daily reimbursement of ₹500 to compensate for their travel expenses. “Additionally, customers will earn ₹500 per delayed day (up to ₹50,000),” the comedian added.

Kamra’s latest jab at Ola Electric came just days after he called on Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari to address issues faced by Indian customers with Ola’s electric scooters. Following the first bout between the two, the company’s stock prices had fallen by 9 percent. It took a further hit on Tuesday, reaching a record low of ₹75.20 on the BSE, dropping beyond its issue price of ₹76.
