Ola Cabs - Bhavish Aggarwal's Success Story

"Focus on solving real problems and not on making money. There will be enough takers for your solutions. You will help make lives of some people better and money will follow - Bhavish Aggarwal"

Bhavish Aggarwal is the CEO and founder of the most popular Ola cabs in India. 

Bhavish Aggarwal was born in Ludhiana. On 2008, he completed his studies in IIT-B. He begins his career with Microsoft Research and worked for around 2 years. After he quits Microsft, he started olatrip.com to give customers customised tour packages. 

However, the real turning point came when Bhavish was travelling from Bangalore to Bandipur in a Taxi. Driver have stopped the car in the middle of the journey and started negotiating the amount to be paid for the trip. When Bhavish doesn't agree for the proposal, he was dropped on the middle of the raod. 

This incident have given the spark for Bhavish Aggarwal to start his own Ola taxi business. Ola was started in 2010 with a mission to give quality service with an affordable rate. 


In the early days Bhavish did everything to make the customers happy. Indeed, he himself have taken the role of the driver and dropped the customer when the Ola driver didn't turn up ontime. It is this commitment and dedication by the founders and the team that made Ola a grand success. 

Instead of buying cars, they have allowed the local Taxi drivers to attach to Ola and have introduced Mobile App for bookig cabs. Soon after it's launch, it was a grand success. Ola cabs charge a minimum of Rs.6 per KM which is less than a Auto and Ola share is charged approx at Rs.3 per Km. 

Ola provide Taxi service for around 102 cities in India with over 1 million requests every day. It has around 350,000 vehicles serving 25 Million customers. It is valued over 5 Billion dollars currently. It is the market leader with 78% share. 


Bhavish still doesn't own a car and uses cabs to move around. Bhavish Aggarwal have broken the groundrule that the Taxi must be hired only by the rich. He made Taxi ride a possible dream to every Indian.  

I have written this article as I am also one of the happy customers of Ola cabs who commutes to office daily by Ola. I really love the quality of service and the business model. 

Story of Bhavish Aggarwal teaches us that "If you put your best efforts on your dream and soon it will become a reality". The Happy Zen team wish all the very best and good luck for the Ola cabs and Bhavish Aggarwal.
