An IIT alumnus, he completed his bachelor’s degree in computer science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay from 2004 to 2008.
After working at Microsoft for two years, Bhavish co-founded Ola Cabs with Ankit Bhati in Mumbai in 2011. The idea for a cab company struck Aggarwal after a bad experience with a taxi during his journey from Bangalore to Bandipur.

He married Rajalakshmi whom he started dating in 2007. She is leading all the initiatives at Ola Foundation since December 2016, reports suggest.
