Ashneer Grover makes ‘peace’ with BharatPe
This comes month after Ashneer Grover reached a settlement with BharatPe. In September, the co-founder said that he “will no longer be associated with BharatPe in any capacity, nor be part of the capital table”. BharatPe had earlier filed a case against Grover accusing him for misappropriation of funds. The company accused Grover and his family of causing a loss of about Rs 81.3 crore from improper payments to fake HR consultants, inflated costs from connected vendors, fake input tax credit transactions, illegal payments to travel agencies, forged invoices, and destruction of evidence.
