Bhavish Aggarwal Biography
Bhavish Aggarwal is an Indian technology entrepreneur recognized as the co-founder and CEO of Ola Consumer, formerly Ola Cabs, a ride-hailing platform that has influenced urban mobility in India. Aggarwal began his career at Microsoft Research, where he filed two patents and published three papers in international journals. After graduating from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, he left Microsoft to launch Ola Cabs, motivated by the need for reliable taxi services and a vision to use technology to connect commuters and drivers efficiently.
Under Aggarwal's leadership, Ola expanded its ride-hailing services across India and into international markets including Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, becoming a significant competitor to Uber. Ola became the largest ride-hailing service in India, operating in more than 100 cities and acquiring TaxiForSure to strengthen its market position. The company later rebranded as Ola Consumer to reflect its broader service offerings beyond ride-hailing.
Aggarwal established Ola Electric as a subsidiary of Ola Cabs, focusing on electric mobility and building one of the world's largest electric scooter factories in India. Ola Electric has played a key role in the country's electric vehicle market, particularly in the two-wheeler segment. The company has sold hundreds of thousands of electric scooters, contributing significantly to electric vehicle adoption in India.
Aggarwal also founded Ola Krutrim, an artificial intelligence company that became India's first AI unicorn, with a focus on Indic-language models and AI solutions tailored to Indian markets. He has invested substantial capital in Krutrim, guiding its transition from AI chip and large language model development to AI cloud services. Krutrim has reported annual net profits and notable revenue following a strategic restructure centered on cloud infrastructure.
Aggarwal's work in the Indian startup ecosystem has been recognized by Time magazine in its list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, as well as by Economic Times Entrepreneur of the Year and Forbes India Leadership Award. He has also been named CEO of the Year at the SABRE Awards South Asia. Aggarwal is known for building ventures in ride-hailing, electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence, and remains a prominent figure in India's technology sector.
