Shark
Tank
India
Fame
Ashneer
Grover
has
resigned
from
BharatPe.
He
was
the
co-founder
and
managing
director
of
the
company.
In
an
email
sent
to
the
company’s
board
on
Tuesday,
Grover
wrote,
“I
hereby
resign
as
the
managing
director
of
BharatPe,
effective
immediately.
I
also
resign
as
a
director
of
the
Board.
I
will
continue
as
the
single
largest
individual
shareholder
of
the
company.”
He
went
on
to
add
in
his
letter,
“I
say
with
my
head
held
high
that
today
this
company
stands
as
a
leader
in
the
fintech
world.
Since
the
beginning
of
2022,
unfortunately,
I’ve
been
embroiled
in
baseless
and
targeted
attacks
on
me
and
my
family
by
a
few
individuals
who
are
ready
not
only
to
harm
me
and
my
reputation
but
also
harm
the
reputation
of
the
company,
which
they
are
ostensibly
trying
to
protect.”
According
to
a
Livemint
report,
Ashneer’s
departure
came
minutes
after
receiving
the
agenda
for
the
upcoming
board
meeting
that
included
submission
of
the
PWC
report
regarding
his
conduct
and
considering
actions
based
on
it.
It
must
be
noted
that
Grover
was
recently
in
the
news
after
an
audio
clip
surfaced
online
where
he
was
heard
abusing
a
Kotak
employee.
Ashneer
captured
the
limelight
after
featuring
as
one
of
the
‘sharks’
on
the
first
season
of
Shark
Tank
India.
As
soon
as
the
news
of
his
resignation
was
made
public,
social
media
was
flooded
with
memes
revolving
around
Shark
Tank.
Netizens
were
seen
using
the
quotes
“Yeh
sab
doglapan
hai” and
“Bhai
kya
kar
raha
hai
tu,”
that
were
once
used
by
Grover
on
the
show.
Take
a
look!
