B havish Aggarwal is an Indian internet entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Ola, one of India's largest ride-hailing companies. After a brief stint at Microsoft Research, Aggarwal and his co-founder Ankit Bhati launched Ola Cabs in 2010. Their goal was to solve the problem of unreliable and inefficient transportation in India by creating a technology platform to connect passengers with drivers.
Under Aggarwal's leadership, Ola grew rapidly, expanding its services across India and into international markets like Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, becoming a major competitor to Uber. In recent years, Aggarwal has embarked on an even more ambitious venture with Ola Electric. He is making a massive bet on the future of electric mobility, building one of the world's largest electric scooter factories in India with the aim of electrifying the country's vast two-wheeler market. This bold pivot has positioned him at the forefront of India's green technology revolution.
