An Ola Electric customer recently held a mock funeral for his scooter outside the company’s showroom, showing his frustration with poor after-sales service. To express his anger, he put the scooter on a rickshaw and sang a parody of the Bollywood song ‘Tadap Tadap,’ changing the lyrics to ‘Lut Gaye Hum Ola Le Kar Ke’ (“We’ve been cheated by Ola”).
The unusual protest attracted a crowd outside the Ola Electric showroom. People stopped to watch, amused by the customer’s creative way of showing his dissatisfaction. The exact location of the protest is unclear, but the video has spread quickly online since it was posted on Monday, August 19.
“Sagar Singh bought an Ola Electric Scooter. The scooter had problems every day, and Ola didn’t provide any after-sales service. So, Sagar loaded the scooter onto a trolley and protested by singing in front of the showroom,” wrote X user (@gharkekalesh ) who shared the video.

The video has gone viral, sparking a wider conversation about the need for better customer service in the electric vehicle industry. Some viewers found the protest amusing and praised the customer for his creativity and sense of humor.
One user wrote, “Perfect… that’s what Ola needs. My Ola 2W has been dead for more than two months because of service center issues.” Another added, “Well sung… did @OlaElectric finally give the customer proper service after this song?” A third commented, “These issues were mentioned long before their IPO. It’s surprising to see so many Ola scooters on the road when many people say their service is bad or almost non-existent.”
The protest has brought renewed attention to the need for better after-sales support in the electric vehicle sector, with some praising the customer’s unique protest as one of the most effective ways to make a point.
