'My personal hero, I'm at a loss with Ratan Tata Sir's passing', says Ola Electric CEO Aggarwal
- Ratan Tata's passing at the age of 86 has left millions of Indians mourning the loss of a man who profoundly shaped their lives and the nation.
- Bhavish Aggarwal, co-founder of Ola and Ola Electric, expressed deep sorrow and a profound sense of loss over the passing of his personal hero Ratan Tata.
- Bhavish Aggarwal recalls his interaction with Ratan Tata back in 2008 when he was graduating from IIT Bombay and Tata was the guest speaker at the convocation.
- In 2015, Tata invested in Ola and what began as a business partnership soon developed into a deeply personal connection with Bhavish, playing the role of a mentor.
- Bhavish remembered an instance in 2016 when he invited Tata to Bengaluru to meet the Ola team. The industrialist took a full day out, flew to Bengaluru and spent the entire day with my team and company.
- Tata's involvement in the founding of Ola Electric also played a significant role - sparking Bhavish’s passion for electric vehicles and eventually leading to the birth of Ola Electric.
- Apart from business, Bhavish noted that Tata’s love for animals, particularly dogs, deeply influenced him.
- As Bhavish reflects on Tata's legacy, he feels incredibly blessed to have seen such an amazing man from up close and gotten a chance to see the ideal to strive for.
- Bhavish concluded saying, "I will deeply miss him. India will deeply miss him. And there will be no one like him again".
