It is cognizance of the fact that Ola launched its first electric scooter by the name of the Ola Electric S1. The pictures of the scooter went viral across social media platforms. In a bid to promote it another way, Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal himself stepped out on the electric scooter and went to Araku Café.
Ola CEO took to his Twitter handle and posted a candid pic of himself with Varun Dubey outside the café. He posted the picture along with a caption that reads: “Me and @varundubey getting a coffee with the @OlaElectric S1 at @arakucoffeein in Indiranagar, Bangalore. Come take a look!”
Meanwhile, the picture went viral on the internet and it also caught the eyeballs of business magnate Anand Mahindra. After the post spread like wildfire on the internet, Tech Mahindra chairman decided to chip in with his own opinion and the banter on the microblogging site has now gone viral.
Anand Mahindra has urged Bhavish to also check out the café from inside and also labelled his choice smart. “Smart move @bhash. Araku café is the coolest location you could have selected. Make sure you don’t just stand next to your scooter all the time. Scoot inside the café and check it out. All of us at @naandi_india & @arakucoffeein are incredibly proud of it!” said Mahindra.
For the unversed, Anand Mahindra is a part of the Board of Directors at Araku Coffee. It is promoted by the Naandi Foundation and backed by Mahindra and has been created to offer employment opportunities to the tribals of Andhra Pradesh who were affected a lot by the Naxal movement.
The post was first spotted by Naandi Foundation’s CEO, Manoj Kumar. He posted a tweet for Bhavish Aggarwal and appreciated him. “When we said that @arakucoffeein Cafe in Bengaluru will be a destination, @bhash has made it happen at a new level – the Cafe is the destination for showcasing the Power of New India! See how @OlaElectric unveils their electric scooter – confluence of iconic brands!” wrote Kumar in the caption.
