Personal Life
His family hails from Ludhiana in Punjab, the same place where he was born, brought up and also began his business. Entrepreneurship is a hard path to take and there needs to be ample family support in order to chase it. His family was always on his side after he left his top-notch job at Microsoft to initiate Ola Cabs. The outcome of that trust and reliance has yielded now as he has become so successful.
How did OLA come into the picture?
So, this is how it all initiated!
After resigning from Microsoft, Bhavish began an online business which dealt into selling of short period tours and trips online. Now while he was at it, he chanced to rent a car from Bangalore to Bandipur and had a long-lasting bad experience.
The driver of that vehicle stopped right in the middle of the road and began re-negotiating the whole deal. When Bhavish declined to agree to his terms, the driver advanced to abandon him on the route to his destination.
The entrepreneurial-headed Bhavish, instead of complaining about the condition or rather the problem, decided to resolve it well, and at large!
