Controversy around BharatPe founder thickens

BharatPe Co-founder and Managing Director Ashneer Grover

The controversy around BharatPe Co-founder and Managing Director Ashneer Grover is getting thicker, with reports now claiming that a preliminary probe by a third-party risk advisory firm has discovered alleged financial frauds during the period when Grover and his wife were at the helm at the fintech platform. Through its legal firm, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, BharatPe had appointed Alvarez and Marsal, a leading management consultant and risk advisory firm, to look into financial irregularities at the firm and submit the report to the Board.


According to several media reports, Alvarez and Marsal submitted the report to BharatPe Board, which has raised alleged financial irregularities in recruitment processes as well as paying non-existent vendors. Ashneer’s wife Madhuri Grover served as head of control at BharatPe since incorporation and headed procurement and admin departments. She, along with Grover, has gone on voluntary leave after the controversy erupted over the latter allegedly using inappropriate language against Kotak Mahindra Bank’s staff.
