It was a calm Sunday afternoon until comedian <keyword id="20947562" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kunal-Kamra" source="keywords">Kunal Kamra</keyword> took to his X handle and began criticising the service quality of <keyword id="19897349" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola-Electric" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Ola Electric" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Ola Electric">Ola Electric</keyword>’s S1 series scooters, posting a photo of several <keyword id="23448953" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola-scooters" source="keywords">Ola scooters</keyword> gathering dust at a dealership, seemingly awaiting repairs. Kamra expressed concern about the state of Ola’s service, asking whether Indian consumers "deserve this". He also tagged Minister Nitin Gadkari and the Department of Consumer Affairs for comment. Ola CEO <keyword id="19914967" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhavish-Aggarwal" source="keywords">Bhavish Aggarwal</keyword> then stepped in and responded to Kamra, saying that his tweet is a paid one and that he can pay him even more. <h2>Ola CEO Bhavesh Aggarwal and Kunal Kamra's war of words</h2>"Since you care so much, @kunalkamra88, come and help us out! I’ll even pay more than you earned from this tweet or your failed comedy career," Aggarwal wrote, adding that Ola was working to expand its service network and clear backlogs. A war of words thus ensured and Twitter currently stands divided. On one hand, people are accusing Aggarwal of being arrogant and on the other hand, some users are advising the OLA CEO to not indulge in the heated debate. Kamra also fired back, sharing a video clip of a well-received stand-up show, calling the Ola CEO "arrogant and substandard." He went further, challenging Aggarwal to offer refunds to any customers who purchased an Ola scooter in the last four months but were dissatisfied. “People not being able to get to their workplace need your accountability,” Kamra wrote. Aggarwal dismissed Kamra’s challenge, claiming that Ola already has support programs for customers facing delays, stating, "If you were a genuine one, you’d have known." He invited Kamra to come "do some real work" instead of engaging in “armchair criticism.” The most recent tweet by Aggarwal, at the time of writing this story, reads, "Comedian ban na sake, chaudhary banne chale. Do your research better next time. And the offer to come and help us out in our service center remains open. Take up the challenge. Maybe you’ll learn some real skills for a change." <div type="image" title="ola" msid="113985177" hostid="261" sizebytes="452180"></div> <h2>What does the internet say? </h2> The online spat, while entertaining for some, exposed real frustrations from Ola customers, many of whom chimed in, echoing concerns about service quality and sharing their own experiences. What started as a battle of words between two public figures quickly turned into a larger conversation about accountability in India's growing electric vehicle market. "Its all fun and all Bhavish sir. But with all the complaints of people the Bhavishya of OLA Scooter is not looking good. Rather than hitting out on Kunal personally try using the platform to tel people the plan to solve the 80k and growing complains," a user wrote while another added, "Maybe instead of fighting with him, you should better start making good quality vehicle in the first place so as that they don’t break down so frequently that you need so many service centres and service personal." Here are some other reactions: <div type="image" title="google (3)" msid="113985018" hostid="261" sizebytes="381638"></div> On the other hand, few users are also siding with Aggarwal. "Kunal Kamra has a rare disease of poking everywhere where he can revive his sinking career! Ignore these stuffs @bhash , you’ve built an amazing company," a user wrote while another added, "Founder mode on."

‘Comedian ban na sake, Chaudhary banne chale’: Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal after Kunal Kamra criticises Ola EV service

Stock market trading is something that needs expert guidance and has its own set of risks associated. This is why, people generally consult experts before investing in stocks. However, one needs to be careful who they are seeking advice from when it comes to financial matters. In a recent case, a 63-year-old man from Hyderabad lost Rs 50 lakh after falling for a fraudulent stock trading scheme shared through a <keyword id="790242" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="whatsapp" source="Orion">WhatsApp</keyword> group. This is just one example of how fraudsters are increasingly using messaging platforms to lure in victims with false promises of easy profits. <h2>How the scam unfolded </h2> The scam began when the victim received an invitation to join a WhatsApp group called Stock Discussion Group. According to a Times Now report, the group was led by a man named <keyword id="23828130" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kunal-singh" source="keywords">Kunal Singh</keyword>, who introduced himself as a financial advisor with extensive experience in the stock market. Singh claimed that his past clients had earned significant profits, boasting of returns as high as 500% by following his stock trading advice. Intrigued by these promises, the victim enrolled in online classes that were promoted within the group. These sessions, held through private links shared on WhatsApp, promised to teach participants how to make money by investing in the stock market. Singh continued to assure group members that his expertise would guide them to financial success. The victim, trusting his guidance, began to invest small amounts of money on a platform called Skyrim Capital, which Singh claimed was a legitimate trading platform. At first, the victim saw some returns on his investment, which only encouraged him to invest more. The initial success built his confidence, and over time, he transferred a total of Rs 50 lakh into multiple investments, believing that he was making wise financial decisions. However, when the victim attempted to withdraw his funds, he was unable to do so. The platform blocked his attempts, and when he tried to contact Singh, he received no response. The truth behind the scam The victim soon realised that he had been scammed. The platform, Skyrim Capital, turned out to be nothing more than a front for fraudulent activity, and Singh had disappeared with the man’s money. The scam had been carefully designed to build trust initially, only to betray the victim when he tried to cash out. The fraudsters used the lure of high returns and expert advice to convince the victim to keep investing larger sums, ultimately draining his finances. This scam is just one of many that have been reported in India, with cybercriminals exploiting the convenience and popularity of platforms like WhatsApp to reach potential victims. These scams often rely on false promises and fake personas, with fraudsters creating elaborate stories to convince their targets that they are legitimate financial advisors.

The comedian had criticised Ola EV's customer service, sharing photos of Ola scooters gathering dust at a dealership. Aggarwal was quick to respond to his post, saying that he can pay him more for what he got for this "paid tweet." Now, a day after the spat, Ola Electric has been slapped with a show-cause notice by <keyword id="20127554" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CCPA" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="CCPA" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="CCPA">CCPA</keyword> (Central Consumer Protection Authority) for increased customer service complaints. <h2>CCPA issues show-cause notice to Ola Electric </h2> According to a report in ANI, the CCPA took official action against Ola Electric on October 8, issuing the notice to the company in response to a growing number of grievances from consumers regarding the its electric scooters. According to a filing made by Ola Electric, the company acknowledged receipt of the notice, confirming that it would respond to the CCPA within the 15-day timeline provided. The notice, which currently does not impose financial penalties, signals the government’s intent to address concerns over <keyword id="21054298" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="consumer-rights" source="keywords">consumer rights</keyword> violations and misrepresentation. Ola Electric reassured stakeholders that this regulatory development would not affect its financial or operational activities in the immediate term. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114004646" title="'Pay your staff properly, solve the 80,000 complaints first': Internet reacts on Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal and Kunal Kamra feud" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> <h2>Complaints against Ola Electric</h2> The notice from the CCPA comes amid a surge in consumer dissatisfaction regarding Ola Electric’s scooters, which has become increasingly evident both through official channels and on social media. The National Consumer Helpline has received over 10,000 complaints regarding issues such as delayed deliveries, service inefficiencies, and persistent mechanical problems with Ola scooters. Allegations of <keyword id="20610549" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="misleading-advertisements" source="keywords">misleading advertisements</keyword> and unmet service promises have further eroded trust in the company, which initially captured consumer enthusiasm with its vision of accessible, eco-friendly transportation Specifically, many complaints have centered around recurring issues with vehicle components, delays in promised services, and unfulfilled refund requests following booking cancellations. This growing wave of discontent has pushed the regulatory spotlight onto the company, forcing it to confront its service shortcomings more directly. <h2>Kunal Kamra vs Bhavish Aggarwal </h2> The growing backlash against Ola Electric came into sharp public focus when comedian Kunal Kamra took to social media to criticize the company’s service failures. In a post on X, Kamra shared a photograph of an Ola dealership with several scooters gathering dust. He tagged prominent figures like Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, questioning the state of EV adoption in India and calling on the Department of Consumer Affairs to weigh in on the matter. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113984574" title="‘Comedian ban na sake, Chaudhary banne chale’: Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal after Kunal Kamra criticises Ola EV service" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Kamra’s post quickly garnered attention, inviting frustrated consumers to share their experiences with Ola Electric in the comments. In response, Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal fired back, accusing Kamra of engaging in a “paid tweet” to damage the company’s reputation. Aggarwal challenged Kamra to work with Ola to improve services, offering to pay him more than what he supposedly earned from his comedic career. The heated exchange between the two personalities quickly went viral and got people talking. <h2>Share Prices plummet </h2> The consumer dissatisfaction and negative publicity surrounding the company have had immediate repercussions in the financial markets. Following the social media spat between Kamra and Aggarwal, Ola Electric’s share prices took a significant hit, falling by 8% to Rs 90.82 on the BSE. This marks a 43% drop from the company’s all-time high of Rs 157.5, though the stock remains 18% above its IPO price of Rs 76.

Government takes action against Ola Electric for customer complaints, Bhavish Aggarwal’s company slapped with show-cause notice

The war of words between <keyword id="22325860" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ola-CEO" source="keywords">Ola CEO</keyword> <keyword id="19914967" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhavish-Aggarwal" source="keywords">Bhavish Aggarwal</keyword> and comedian <keyword id="20947562" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kunal-Kamra" source="keywords">Kunal Kamra</keyword> has taken a new turn. It looks like Kamra is ready to accept the Ola CEO's job offer, but on a few conditions. In a new post on X, Kamra cheekily remarked that he already feels like an “Ola employee” as people have been tagging him on Ola customer complaints. He added that he has no choice but to "accept the job offer" from Aggarwal. For the unversed, the feud between the two personalities began earlier this month when Kamra criticised <keyword id="19897349" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola-Electric" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Ola Electric" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Ola Electric">Ola Electric</keyword>'s after sales service. <h2>Kunal Kamra gets ready to accept Ola's job offer </h2>"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," Kamra wrote on X. Kamra’s cheeky list of demands included a strict seven-day repair commitment for any scooter issues at authorised centres, along with compensation for delays. He proposed that if repairs exceeded a week, Ola should provide either a temporary replacement vehicle or reimburse customers Rs 500 per day for transportation, with an additional Rs 500 daily up to Rs 50,000 as a goodwill gesture for unresolved delays. Kamra also suggested Ola bundle service-specific insurance with each scooter to cover potential repair issues, alongside regular vehicle insurance. <div type="image" title="google (21)" msid="114732537" hostid="261" sizebytes="331307"></div> Ola has faced ongoing scrutiny regarding its scooter quality and service network as demand for electric scooters in India continues to grow. Customer reviews often highlight long repair waits, with some scooters languishing at service centres for extended periods. In light of Kamra’s playful “demands,” the issue has gained renewed attention. <h2>How it all began </h2> What started as a Sunday afternoon tweet earlier this month by Kamra criticising Ola Electric’s S1 series scooters quickly escalated into a fiery exchange with Aggarwal. It all began when Kamra had posted a picture showing several <keyword id="23448953" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola-scooters" source="keywords">Ola scooters</keyword> gathering dust at a dealership, highlighting concerns over poor service. However, the situation intensified when Aggarwal responded, accusing Kamra of posting a “paid tweet” and launching personal digs at the comedian’s career. "Since you care so much, @kunalkamra88, come and help us out! I’ll even pay more than you earned from this tweet or your failed comedy career," Aggarwal wrote, adding that Ola was working to expand its service network and clear backlogs. Kamra also fired back, sharing a video clip of a well-received stand-up show, calling the Ola CEO "arrogant and substandard." He went further, challenging Aggarwal to offer refunds to any customers who purchased an Ola scooter in the last four months but were dissatisfied. “People not being able to get to their workplace need your accountability,” Kamra wrote. After the spat, Ola Electric had received a show-cause notice from the CCPA (Central Consumer Protection Authority) over unresolved customer complaints. Recently, the company announced that it has successfully addressed 99.1% of the 10,644 complaints raised by the CCPA.

This update comes on the heels of a recent notice from the CCPA, which had accused the company of misleading advertisements, unfair trade practices, and potential consumer rights violations. <h2>Ola Electric claims to solve 99.1 percent complaints </h2> The company, which received the notice on October 7, was given a 15-day window to respond to the allegations. In a regulatory filing dated October 21, Ola Electric revealed that it had provided the necessary clarifications and information to the CCPA, reinforcing its commitment to customer satisfaction. "We wish to emphasise that out of 10,644 complaints that we received from the CCPA, 99.1 per cent of the complaints were resolved to the complete satisfaction of the customer as per Ola Electric's robust redressal mechanism," the company said as per a PTI report. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113984574" title="‘Comedian ban na sake, Chaudhary banne chale’: Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal after Kunal Kamra criticises Ola EV service" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Additionally, as per a News18 report, 3,364 complaints were linked to slow service and repair issues, while 1,899 centred around delayed deliveries of Ola’s electric scooters. Another 1,459 complaints focused on unmet service commitments, contributing to widespread frustration among customers. Other grievances included claims of misleading advertisements, which overstated the scooters’ performance, features, and availability. To improve its after-sales service, Ola also reportedly partnered with consultancy firm EY, focusing on streamlining spare parts management and enhancing customer support. <h2>Stocks see a rise</h2>After the announcement, Ola Electric Mobility’s stock saw a sharp rise of over 4% in early trading on Tuesday. The company’s shares surged by 4.45%, hitting a peak of Rs 85.30 on the BSE after it reported resolving approximately 99.1% of the 10,644 complaints lodged with the CCPA.

Bhavish Aggarwal's OLA Electric says it has resolved 99% customer complaints after receiving CCPA show cause notice

On Sunday, <keyword id="22325860" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ola-CEO" source="keywords">Ola CEO</keyword> <keyword id="19914967" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhavish-Aggarwal" source="keywords">Bhavish Aggarwal</keyword> made headlines for his X (earlier called Twitter) spat with comedian <keyword id="20947562" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kunal-Kamra" source="keywords">Kunal Kamra</keyword>. The public feud quickly gained attention and people started taking sides. Soon, the internet was divided and while some people started voicing their own customer service issues with Ola, others supported Aggarwal. But was this the first time that a popular businessman indulged in a war of words on a social media platform? Not really. There have been instances before where CEOs of top companies took their spats to the public. Let us take a look at some incidents. <h2>Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal vs Kunal Kamra </h2> As mentioned already, the spat between Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal and comedian Kunal Kamra set social media abuzz recently. It all began when Kamra shared a photo of Ola scooters gathering dust at a dealership, criticising the company’s service. Tagging government officials, Kamra’s tweet highlighted concerns about Ola’s product support. Aggarwal, in response, accused Kamra of making a “paid tweet” and took personal digs at the comedian’s career. He challenged Kamra to work with Ola to improve services, offering to pay him more than what he supposedly earned from comedy. Kamra shot back, sharing clips of his stand-up shows and calling Aggarwal “arrogant.” He also challenged the CEO to offer refunds to unsatisfied customers. Aggarwal dismissed the comedian’s challenge and invited Kamra to “do some real work” at Ola’s service centres. The heated exchange quickly went viral, dividing public opinion. Some accused Aggarwal of arrogance, while others advised him not to engage in online arguments. <h2><keyword id="19903807" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Elon-Musk" source="keywords">Elon Musk</keyword> vs <keyword id="19918827" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sam-Altman" source="keywords">Sam Altman</keyword></h2> In March 2024, Musk filed a lawsuit against <keyword id="19918823" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="OpenAI" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="OpenAI" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="OpenAI">OpenAI</keyword>, accusing the organisation of straying from its original mission and prioritising profits for Microsoft. OpenAI, led by Altman, responded by releasing emails from 2015-2018 in which Musk could be seen backing the creation of a for-profit arm within OpenAI, even suggesting merging OpenAI with Tesla. Musk’s lawsuit centred on claims that OpenAI has compromised its ethical goals in favour of commercial interests. He argued that the company’s current trajectory is contrary to the spirit of its founding, where the emphasis was on the ethical development of AI rather than maximising profits. Altman, on the other hand, has been vocal about the importance of balancing innovation with sustainable business practices. Adding another layer to the dispute, Altman shared an old conversation on X (formerly Twitter) where he had stood by Musk during a challenging period for Tesla in 2019. This exchange underscored the deep history between the two tech giants, now embroiled in a public and legal feud. OpenAI also escalated the tension by refuting Musk’s claims and releasing a blog post that contained Musk’s emails. These messages showcased Musk’s apparent support for the very business model he now criticises. The battle between the two innovators was not only legal but personal, and it reflected the broader debate on the role of AI in society. <h2>Elon Musk vs <keyword id="19952202" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mark-Zuckerberg" source="keywords">Mark Zuckerberg</keyword></h2> Last year, tech enthusiasts were treated to an unusual spectacle—a possible cage fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The back-and-forth began after Meta announced plans to launch Threads, a competitor to Musk’s X (formerly Twitter). In a characteristic jab, Musk took to X to mock Zuckerberg’s new platform, to which Zuckerberg, an avid jiu-jitsu practitioner, responded by suggesting a real fight. What began as light-hearted banter quickly escalated, with Musk proposing a cage fight in the Vegas Octagon, a famous venue for UFC matches. Musk even teased about a special move he dubbed “The Walrus.” Zuckerberg, ever ready to engage, accepted the challenge and offered to livestream the fight. Despite the hype, the fight never materialised, though the two continued to trade verbal blows online. Musk claimed he was lifting weights to prepare, while Zuckerberg, in typical tech-banter style, suggested they use a “more reliable platform” for the livestream, implicitly questioning X’s stability. Though the cage fight talk eventually fizzled out, the saga highlighted the competitive and sometimes playful rivalry between two of tech’s most powerful figures. <h2>Anupam Mittal and X user </h2> In another online confrontation, Shark Tank India judge Anupam Mittal found himself in a Twitter spat after a user compared the show to the popular soap opera Sasural Simar Ka. Mittal, who had questioned whether Twitter was becoming the new Quora, received a cheeky response from a user claiming Shark Tank was the new Sasural Simar Ka. Mittal’s reply—“oh good for you since you clearly watch both”—was met with another quip, as the user admitted to watching both shows and only realising the value of quality after consuming “sub-standard stuff.” The exchange echoed earlier criticisms of Shark Tank India’s second season, which some viewers felt had become overly dramatic, much like reality TV. Mittal had previously earlier a dig at former Shark Tank judge Ashneer Grover, promising that the new season would be free from the toxicity and harsh insults that had characterised Grover’s tenure.

While some users echoed Kamra’s frustrations about Ola’s <keyword id="21440362" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="service-quality" source="keywords">service quality</keyword>, others defended Aggarwal’s sharp retorts. The argument has moved beyond the two individuals, turning into a broader debate about the state of customer service in India’s <keyword id="19906970" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="electric-vehicle" source="keywords">electric vehicle</keyword> sector. <h2>Internet complains about Ola’s Service Quality </h2> Several users shared their experiences with Ola’s service issues, siding with Kamra’s criticisms. One Twitter user wrote, “It’s all fun and all, Bhavish sir, but with all the complaints, the ‘Bhavishya’ of OLA Scooters is not looking good. Rather than hitting out at Kunal, tell people the plan to solve the 80k and growing complaints.” Many shared similar sentiments, recounting personal stories of service delays and unresolved issues. For instance, one customer revealed, “It’s been only 4 months since my brother bought the Ola S1 Pro, and he’s gone to the service centre at least 6-7 times, sometimes due to software issues, sometimes due to quality issues. Every day, a new problem arises.” Another wrote, “A friend of mine bought an ola scooter, after eight months it started giving trouble, he followed up to the service centre for 6 months but they didn't resolve his issue, In the end he paid 24000/- to get the issue resolved.” Yet another user expressed their dissatisfaction bluntly, saying, “Pay your staff properly first! Instead of calling out Kamra, put that money to better use—expand your service infrastructure, fix quality checks, then show off your wealth on social media!” Meanwhile, another X user said that they can only imagine “how badly customer service behaves with individuals, if this is how top management reacts to criticism.” <h2>Support for OLA CEO </h2> On the other hand, some users supported Aggarwal, praising his leadership and dismissing Kamra’s criticisms as an attempt to stay relevant. “Kunal, you missed the comedy gig and now think you're leading the charge? What bhavish and ola are doing is clearly out of your sight, that is solving "real problems". Feel free to visit one—maybe learn some skills beyond just creating nuisance,” a user wrote. Another user commented, “Kunal Kamra has a rare disease of poking everywhere to revive his sinking career! Ignore these stunts, Bhavish, you’ve built an amazing company.” Another echoed this sentiment, adding, “Founder mode on.” Some, on the other hand, took a more balanced stance. A user wrote, “Reply might sound arrogant here, but sometimes you have to show people their place. Bhavish did the right thing,” one person tweeted. However, he also acknowledged there are real issues with Ola’s service. “Let’s agree there’s an issue with service,” he added. Here are some reactions: <div type="image" title="google (5)" msid="114007569" hostid="261" sizebytes="643332"></div> As the feud unfolds, it has highlighted deeper concerns around accountability in the electric vehicle market. The war of words may have begun with Kamra’s tweet, but the chorus of complaints from Ola customers underscores the broader dissatisfaction with after-sales service. This exchange, while entertaining for many, has become a focal point for customers demanding better support from companies as India pushes towards a greener transportation future.

EMotorad stands at the forefront of shaping the future of mobility, and I am thrilled to be a part of this journey!” <keyword id="20835175" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kunal-Gupta" source="keywords">Kunal Gupta</keyword>, founder and chief executive of EMotorad, expressed confidence that MS Dhoni's association with the brand will significantly boost awareness and trust in the e-biking sector. He told ET: “There is no one better and more reliable than Dhoni who resonates with what our brand stands for, an avid biker himself.” <div type="twitter" handle="e_motorad" handlename="e_motorad" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1776119471704608843"></div> This Pune-based startup now joins a growing list of startups that are part of Dhoni's diverse portfolio, which includes ventures spanning various sectors such as fitness, technology, automotive and digital solutions. As per The Economic Times, notable among his investments are Bengaluru-based fitness startup Tagda Raho, digital lending platform Khatabook, and Gurugram-based used car retailer Cars24. Founded in 2020 by Kunal Gupta, Rajib Gangopadhyay, Aditya Oza and Sumedh Battewar, EMotorad has rapidly gained traction in the Indian e-cycle market, capturing a 65% share. With a focus on cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships, the company aims to revolutionise transportation by offering high-quality and value-driven solutions. Back in November 2023, EMotorad demonstrated its growth potential by securing substantial funding worth Rs 164 crore in a Series B round led by Panthera Growth Partners. It has raised a total of $20 million in equity thus far. The company boasts a network of more than 350 dealers nationwide, along with over 10 experience centres. Despite its strong foundation in India, its reach spans across eight countries, demonstrating its global presence and influence. Offline dominance aside, EMotorad also leverages online platforms to reach a wider audience, including e-commerce giants like Amazon and Flipkart. In the fiscal year ending March 2024, EMotorad reported sales of Rs 140 crore, a notable increase from Rs 115 crore the previous year. Looking ahead to FY25, the company targets sales of Rs 270 crore, with approximately Rs 130 crore stemming from domestic markets and the remainder anticipated from regions like the US and Europe. With plans underway for a new factory and the development of innovative e-cycle designs, EMotorad is poised for further expansion. By diversifying its product range, expanding its market reach, and now partnering with one of the most beloved sporting figures in the country, the company is fully committed to solidifying its position as a leader in the evolving mobility landscape.

According to the report, Happay is giving impacted employees three months salary along with an extension of insurance coverage and some other additional benefits. When reached, CRED did not immediately comment on layoffs at Happay, which it acquired in December 2021 in a cash and stock deal that valued Happay at $180 million.

An Indian national has been jailed in <keyword id="6356662" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="singapore" source="Orion">Singapore</keyword> for nine weeks after he committed fraud involving more than S$26,000 that was traced to three fraud victims in the US. <keyword id="15539541" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhambri-Kunal" source="Orion">Bhambri Kunal</keyword>, 26, who first came to Singapore in 2018 to study, pleaded guilty to three counts of dealing with the benefits of criminal conduct. In exchange for at least $100, Kunal, who was jailed on Wednesday, withdrew cash totalling more than $26,000 from Singapore bank accounts. Deputy Public Prosecutor Seah Ee Wei said that between February 2021 and March the same year, Singapore's Commercial Affairs Department received information on fraudulent transfers involving three fraud victims in the US, The Straits Times reported. Kay Kovaleski, the first victim, was duped into wiring $29,500 to a bank account in Singapore belonging to a man called Rahul Kumar, following which she filed a report with the FBI on February 10, 2021. After 13 days, second victim, the Kimberly Lynn Mole, told police in California that she was deceived into wiring $32,620 to a Singapore bank account belonging to one Brar Vishavjeet. Thomas Sabatino, the third victim filed a report with the Singapore Police Force on March 19, 2021, stating that he had been duped into wiring $46,000 to a bank account in Singapore linked to one Lakhwinder Singh. Court documents did not disclose how they discovered that they were victims of a ruse. Defence lawyer S.S. Dhillon said in early 2021, Bhambri's friends Rahul and Simar asked him to help them withdraw money from local bank accounts by using ATM cards, and Bhambri agreed to help them. Between February 9 and March 3, 2021, he made withdrawals of more than $26,000 from bank accounts that did not belong to him, and passed on the cash to his friends. The Deputy Public Prosecutor told the court: "(Bhambri)... did not check the names on the accounts before withdrawing the money. He admitted to knowing that it was wrong and illegal to withdraw money from other people's bank accounts but continued to do so," The Straits Times reported. Dhillon said his client regretted his actions and was not the mastermind behind the offences.
