Bhavish Aggarwal: Bhavish Aggarwal, the CEO of Ola Electric, has drawn attention for his criticism of traditional automobiles with internal combustion engines and his advocacy for electric vehicles. He recently made fun of Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto, two significant figures in the Indian auto sector, for their associations with the international motorcycle brands Harley-Davidson and Triumph, respectively.
Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal takes a dig at Hero and Bajaj
Aggarwal subtly questioned Hero MotoCorp’s and Bajaj Auto’s partnerships with Harley-Davidson and Triumph to create reasonably priced performance motorcycles with conventional petrol engines in a tweet. He voiced his perplexity as to why well-known Indian automakers would work with well-known Western companies to produce goods using “outdated” internal combustion technology. Aggarwal emphasised that Ola Electric is committed to using electric cars to shape the future of motorbike riding through the Make-In-India programme.
Many Twitter users acknowledged that electric cars (EVs) will be crucial to the future of transportation, but many also acknowledged that petrol and diesel engines won’t simply disappear.
