“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,” said Kamra in a post on X.

Kamra’s post wherein he showed interest in joining the company has come just a few days after he said in another post that anyone who has successfully managed to get their OLA electric vehicle serviced should be hired under the government’s Agniveer scheme.
“Breaking News – Youth Demands – Everyone who has successfully gotten an OLA EV serviced should be recruited under the Agni-Veer Scheme,” Kamra in an earlier post.
The war of words that broke out between Kamra and Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal has now stretched for weeks with issues regarding Ola service quality being the heart of the debate. Moreover, customers of the EV maker too took this as an opportunity to flag concerns regarding Ola electric vehicle. Kamra in an earlier post highlighted that issues with the company are a “public issue”.
“Why is OLA a public issue? 1) The company is fooling the public 2) The company is subsidised by public money 3) The company is publicly listed,” said Kamra.
Customers’ criticism has added more stress to the company, which is already struggling with low sales and mounting competition from TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto. Ola’s sales recorded its lowest in September with 23,965 vehicles sold. Company's market share has also come down from 50 per cent in April to 27 per cent in September.
