Reportedly, Bhavish and Rajalakshmi’s relationship began in 2007 while they were both students at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). Their bond grew stronger during their engineering studies, and after nearly six years of dating, they got married in early 2014.
This was also a pivotal time for Bhavish, as his startup, Ola Cabs, which he co-founded, was experiencing significant growth. Meanwhile, Rajalakshmi had a career as an analyst and marketing manager at Ernst & Young before she started overseeing Ola’s social service initiatives in 2016.
Bhavish has previously mentioned that during the early days of his startup, Rajalakshmi, then his girlfriend, provided him with financial support. While Bhavish often finds himself in the spotlight, Rajalakshmi prefers to keep a low profile and stays out of the public eye.
