The CEO of Ola Electric, Bhavish Aggarwal, has made a shocking announcement that has caused investors to pay close attention. As per the information provided by the NSE, the company’s founder sold nearly 2.62 crore shares of Ola Electric Mobility in a surprising bulk deal at an average price of ₹34.99 per share. What does this imply? Is it an indication of market caution, or is it a matter of very good timing? Although the share sale has sparked widespread discussion across Dalal Street, it also raises a larger question: what is the real reason behind this move?
Usually, such sales by a founder do disturb the market, but this time it could be something different and more tactical. For now, the only thing that is certain is that Bhavish’s move has ignited discussions as much as his EVs do.
Did the Stake Sale Impact Bhavish Aggarwal’s Net Worth?
- Bhavish Aggarwal, founder of Ola Electric Mobility, currently has a net worth of $1.6 billion, according to the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires list.
- His wealth saw a one-day decline of $30.9 million, reflecting a 1.89% drop.
- Before Tuesday’s stake sale, Aggarwal’s net worth was close to $2 billion.
How Much Does Bhavish Aggarwal actually Stak In Ola Electric?
Quite a lot. The founder’s share as of September 2025 was a hefty 30.02%, which BSE data shows equals 1,32,39,60,029 equity shares. That’s not only confidence but also commitment shown in figures. Therefore, when he decided to sell off a small part of his holding, people on Dalal Street naturally reacted with raised eyebrows.
A PTI report citing sources very close to the matter stated that this was not an exit strategy but a house-cleaning exercise. Aggarwal used limited stake monetisation, plus personal income, to completely lift all promoter-level share pledges. As a result, 3.93% of pledged shares were released from the encumbrance, leaving the founder now devoid of any debt.
So, is this a case of a founder withdrawing or a founder consolidating his control with a lighter balance sheet? The move tends to suggest the latter, and investors are taking heed.
