Bhavish Aggarwal co-founded Ola and helped build one of India's best-known mobility technology platforms.
B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Bombay.
Worked at Microsoft Research before starting Ola.
The idea developed from the difficulty customers faced in finding reliable and transparent taxi services. Technology could organize supply and make booking easier.
Building driver supply, earning customer trust, operating across cities, competing intensely and later managing the complexity of EV manufacturing.
Leaving Microsoft to start Ola was the first major turning point; expanding into electric mobility created a second major chapter.
Co-founded Ola; built a major Indian mobility platform; later expanded into electric vehicles through Ola Electric.
Continue developing electric mobility, battery technology, manufacturing and software-led mobility products.
Use technology to solve large everyday problems, but understand that hardware and manufacturing require deep operational discipline.
