Full story
Grover took to his LinkedIn account to share a long post alongside a photo of his bed made on the floor, in response to the ‘lavish lifestyle’ allegation made against him by the company, BharatPe.
Ashneer Grover showed that he had no problems even sleeping on the floor, as opposed to the ‘lavish lifestyle’ image that the company has been projecting of him. This has been the same ever since the show Shark Tank Indi
Alongside a photo of a mattress on the floor, that was his bed for the night, he wrote, “I am appalled at the personal nature of the BharatPe Board’s statement, but not surprised. It comes from a position of personal hatred and low thinking. I think the Board needs to be reminded of $1M of secondary shares investors bought from me in Series C, $2.5M in Series D and $8.5M in Series E.”
“I would also want to learn who among Amarchand, PWC and A&M has started doing audit on ‘lavishness’ of one’s lifestyle ? The only thing lavish about me is my dreams and ability to achieve them against all odds through hard work and enterprise. I hope the Board can get back to working soon – I as a shareholder am worried about the value destruction. I wish the Company and the Board a speedy recovery. Please get back to your actual day jobs,” he added.
He further added, “P.S. I indeed have a very lavish lifestyle. I get invited by friends with open hearts to their homes, where I have no qualms sleeping on the floor. And this is when I am on the road in US and UK raising $370M Series E. And I’ve the right to stay in any lavish hotel and charge it on the company issued credit card in my pocket. Those who haven’t built from scratch will never understand the Founder’s mentality.”
