Shradha Sharma writes,
The first time Bhavish Aggarwal walked into the YourStory office more than 12 years ago, he was still a budding entrepreneur, excited to demonstrate the Ola Cabs app on his phone for me and the team. Today, as he walks me around the Ola Electric campus in Krishnagiri, Hosur, a 500-acre state-of-the-art facility aptly named the ‘Future Factory’, he is every bit as eager and energetic as he was at 24.
Between then and now, the IITian-turned-entrepreneur’s business interests have expanded. From connecting passengers with cabs and offering fintech services, the 37-year-old has ventured into building electric vehicles, making cells, and setting up an AI company. He expects to launch two IPOs next year. Matrix Partners India’s Avnish Bajaj calls Bhavish a “digital industrialist” and it is a fitting moniker.

Such people are the real celebrities/Heros of Bharat. Kya mindset hai 👏. Both Bhavish and Shradha 🙏.
Was waiting for part 2. Having lived in Bangalore my whole life, just 4 years ago it would have been unimaginable that Bangalore would get an EV Penetration rate of 80% or more within 2-3 years. This revolution happened because of Ola. Aether Energy had been here for long but it wasn't able to create the EV hype, Ola moved quickly and took over the EV market within a year. This in turn catalyzed the whole EV industry: companies, investors, consumers, to move and adopt faster and helped the city as a whole. I can assure you, among all the companies, Ola SINGLE HANDEDLY accelerated India's progress towards an EV ecosystem(for 2 wheelers) having witnessed this first hand living in Bangalore.
At the start of the video, time on Bhavish's watch was about 12:20. At the end of it, about 2:05 pm. That's a 100+ mins of conversation, of which only 40 mins have been shown, post editing. How is this then "unfiltered"? When less than half the conversation has actually been uploaded?
Bhavish is indeed a catalyst for the EV revolution in India and a key enabler towards the electric mobility ecosystem for India. More power to you Bhavish.

Extremely Bad experience with Ola S1 Air Recently bought the Scooter, but to my utter dismay it stopped running just after covering 5 kms. Had to manually push my brand new scooter to home for almost 4 kms on the very first day of delivery. To add to the agony was lackadaisical attitude of staff and service team, who have not responded to the service request even after 3 days of breakdown of a brand new scooter. Totally frustrated with the product. Don't ever buy this
It's exciting to see how Bhavish and his team are positioning India as a tech leader on the global stage. 🇮🇳
Kamaal ka safar hai yaar. Cab se lekar electric vehicles tak, banda alag level ka game khel raha hai aur India ka future chamka raha hai. #Greatleader👏🏻
Inspiring interview..can see the honesty..there are issues with ola but he is ready to acknowledge and fix it
Bhavish's diverse ventures, from cabs to EVs, contribute to shaping India's technological landscape for the better.
Thank you so much yourstory team ❤
Thank you Shradha and Bhavish for doing this. Never seen such a simple yet insightful and inspiring talk by an entrepreneur. No sugar coating, no apprehension to be disliked, just pure expression of thought. It's so good to know the real Bhavish. He spoke about Dharma and the value system that I liked the most. We middle-class children have been instilled with values and we stick by it come what may. Really loved Bhavish's honesty, clarity of thought, and sky-high dreams. He is truly an inspiration for the youth of India and he has set the bar really high. And what do I say about Shradha? She makes everyone so comfortable. The conversation should always be free-flowing and impromptu and I totally enjoyed both the parts.
Bhavish Aggarwal and his team have truly demonstrated their inspiring vision for innovation and progress. 💡
India's focus on cutting-edge technology will undoubtedly propel it towards a leadership role in the future.
His journey reflects how one entrepreneur can catalyze India's transformation on a global stage
Bhavish Aggarwal bhai, wohi hai jo 12 saal pehle Ola app leke aaye the, aur aaj 'Future Factory' mein dikha rahe hain apna junoon, wahi energy, wahi excitement! 👍🏻
With innovation at the helm, Bhavish Agarwal’s guidance has propelled Ola into a new era of sustainable transportation, showing remarkable commitment to environmental responsibility
Such an inspiration Bhavish and what is he doing for the nation is just amazing 🥳

You are right bro
This is the way how an entrepreneur should be. I want OLA to suceess
India's tech landscape is being shaped by visionaries like Bhavish and his team at Ola.
Gr8 interview… extraordinary and role model for many entrepreneurs..!!!
Such an amazing personality driving India to the position we all deserve , kudos to Bhavish and team.
There are things where I agree and disagree with him, but what a man. Such thought clarity, stable mindset, relentless optimism and patience. This interview was so thought provoking! Thank you for doing this
He is a driving force behind India's global impact. 🇮🇳
Lot of things to learn from this interview ! What a guy
Lovely & inspiring conversation
Wow, we love this type of chit chat videos.

That Triranga line got my heart ❤
I love this guy thanks ma’am for this interview he is an inspiration
Jai Hind Thanks Shradha mam and Bhavish sir
In complete awe of this conversation ❤
Real meaningful crucial conversations.
Bhavish's story proves dreams can build empires. 🙌🏻
Good luck to him in staying focussed on self to achieve loftier goals. Ignore media and people as they are distractions.
Thanks bhavish for bringing up the topic of our hidden ancient history and wisdom. The west has covered it up for so long we indians are taught about invaders in our history books as heroes and our true history and culture totally neglected. Once people relise our glorious past we can build a better INDIA.
Great, bhavish sir ji.. Let's make something for India
Absolutely brilliant
Really amazing interview
This man's clarity is purely remarkable 🙌
India's tech future is brighter, thanks to Bhavish.🤩
Keep doing such videos👌🏻👌🏻
Really inspiring❤
Very inspiring.
Amazing man yall kya soch hai sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Can anyone tell me who is TVG Bhavish is referring to?
Hope you will take over Electric Car Market aswell in the future
In second part also bhavish speaking about his DHARMA tells how rooted he is. If it was any other entrepreneur inspired by the west they would not even know dharma or even appreative our ancient history. This shows INDIA is growing as a culture when people like him get inspired and aware of our glorious history.
he is the most patriotic entrepreneur is have seen good luck to him and his team may you become an trillion dollar company.
He is a revolutionary leader in making
Nice👍👏😊 Interview Bhavish Agarwal OLA 👋😄Company Bike🚲🚴
Innovation in the EV sector, like the Ola S1 Air, will likely reshape urban mobility worldwide. 🌎
Bhavish Agarwal is inspiration for young India🔥🔥🔥
Bhavish means future wow, he is creating the future. This 2nd part is even more interesting
30:30 is just awesome
Who is PVG he referring to?
Ola S1 Air's anticipated impact on the EV market speaks volumes about the future of mobility. 🚀
Superb 👌 👍 and excellent
Great sir...
Ola is a company run by marketing guys like microsoft was under Steve Balmer. Ather is a company run by product guys like apple was under Steve Jobs. He talks more about the business and himself then his products. Tarun talks more about the technology and the product. And that difference shows in thier products.

Wow. I never thought it like this but this analogy fits very well here. I hope Ather catches up in terms of Range and Speed. Other than that Ather is much much better.
Best video❤….
But ola need to work More on Battery heat management
Though there are some after sale issues, this scooter is the future.
With EVs, AI, and IPOs, Bhavish Aggarwal embodies the spirit of a true digital visionary. ⚡
❣
Lakin ola mer he rha hai bhai😢😢 We are not able to book Ola in Delhi, Pune, chennai
Plz make charging point in Nashik
3:50 very good bhavish for keeping indian flag..mehnat dikhegi but don't worry.first of Make it profitable in ola electric
Ola S1 Air's potential to revolutionize the EV market is very exciting.
so proud of bhavesh
Guru name ??
Is bhavish origin belongs to Rajasthan 🤔
The Ola S1 Air's features and advancements could reshape the way we perceive electric vehicles. 🔌
He said 'impact' million times
32:00 hapiness
🤝👍🙏
Not providing proper service after sales. It's not good. We r facing small issue. For service we have to wait 20 days 😂
Bhavish I disagree with that you talking about work life balance we need to give time to family and family is much important than our vision
Ola needs to get a 2 seater car or self balancing electric scooter
भावेश सर, थोड़ा सर्विस को भी डेवलप करे 😢😢😢😢
Take a bow, boss 💐👏🏻🤍
I love all women but ma'am is like (hath jodkar namaste karne ka man karta hai pur mai abhi tak ma'am se mila nahi hu)
Whatever one does, if one fails on the customer commitments one won't survive long.
US: elon musk India : Bhavish
your ideas are all good - but implementation is fairly bad - Improve it - do not do business like the traditional trader
Hai 😅😊😊😊
Bavesh don't be proud your self , we have own car l join in ola partner what rate you giving for drivers?
OLA electric is not making their own chips/silicon, they use the silicon from an existing automotive vendor (like NxP, Infineon or ST), not sure why he said he sits with his silicon/chip designer when there isn't any 😂. Timestamp: 14:10
Sapna aisa ho jo zindagi me pura na ho sake
बहुत बेकार सर्विस है मैंने ओला S1 ले रखी है, करीब एक लाख चालीस हजार खर्च करने के बावजूद परेशानी झेलनी पड़ रही है। गाड़ी पिछले 12 दिन से बंद है, शिकायत दर्ज करवाने, बार बार ग्राहक सेवा नंबर पर संपर्क करने के बावजूद कोई शिकायत निवारण नहीं हो रहा है। कोई सुनने वाला नहीं है।
All these diversification n entrepreneurship talks sound futuristic...but simply booking an ola on a day to day basis is a pathetic experience . Hope they act more professionally..
Interviewer ne face mai plastic surgery krayi hai kya???
Bappu ke baaal Kahan see agaye. Original Bhavesh is good
Elon Musk of India ✌️
Ola ka fair sahi kariye Bhavish Agrawal G
Bhash 🫡
what guy.
No service, no response after sales
Paid comments and definitely not unfiltered interviews, what we actually need to know is what are you doing to address the issues in OLA S1.
Politics amswer is cut
Bhavish says not to copy the west and yet indeed both his businesses Ola inspired copy paste from Uber and Ola bOla bike from Tesla cars
