Bhavish Aggarwal was accompanied by wife Rajalakshmi Aggarwal at Ola Electric's listing ceremony at the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in Mumbai this morning. The CEO of Ola Cabs and founder of Ola Electric was seen dressed in a traditional kurta pyjama, hair pulled back into a ponytail, while his wife wore a yellow saree for the occasion.
Ola Electric’s trading debut marked a rare public appearance for Rajalakshmi Aggarwal, who heads the Ola Foundation.
Sharing a picture from Ola Electric’s listing ceremony on NSE, Bhavish Aggarwal wrote: “The importance of today, this moment is finally sinking in. It felt like a process till yesterday - where we did our work and put in our time and made India one of the largest EV 2W markets. Our hard work has paid off and the world recognises that.
“But today it feels like an important duty, a responsibility to double down on our aspirations and to build the country of our dreams. To be dedicated and faithful custodians of public money and faith. Our destination is still far ahead and we didn’t come this far, to just come this far,” he added.
