BHAVISH AGGARWAL
Co-Founder & CEO, Ola

With the help of breakthrough innovations, cab hailing service Ola’s co-founder Bhavish Aggarwal managed to stay at the top of his game, at a time when foreign competition is looking to steamroll its local business. From getting the right investors like Softbank, Tiger Global and Ratan Tata to introducing categorized services and strategic tie-ups with leading Indian businesses, Bhavish Aggarwal has done it all. Currently Ola is closely working with the government to introduce electric vehicles in Indian cities. From a $7.6 million Series-A funding in April 2011, Ola has raised a massive $404 million in 2017 alone.
