'He Forced For Painful Sex, Open Marriage': Billionaire Techie's Wife Makes Shocking Claims

Sashidhar alleged that Sankar installed spy cameras around their house and illegally videotaped her daily activities, including in a bathroom.

Rippling co-founder and tech billionaire Prasanna Sankar allegedly forced his wife Dhivya Sashidhar into "painful sex" and pressured her into accepting an open marriage and patronage of prostitutes.

The billionaire made headlines in March when he took to X claiming he was "on the run" from Chennai law enforcement after his wife had filed a complaint alleging that he "kidnapped" their son. He alleged that police were tracking his cell phone location, car, UPI, and IP address "illegally without any FIR". He also claimed Sashidhar had an extramarital affair while he tried to fight for the custody of their son.

Sashidhar alleged that Sankar installed spy cameras around their house and illegally videotaped her daily activities, including in a bathroom, as per The San Francisco Standard.

She alleged that he dragged her and their young son from country to country to shield his immense wealth from taxation.

Sashidhar met Sankar in 2007, and they started dating two years later. She was the highest-achieving student at their university in Tiruchirappalli. 

Sankar headed to Silicon Valley, and Sashidhar went to the University of Cambridge on a prestigious scholarship. He raised $7 million for his company Likealittle, a social media platform for anonymous flirting aimed at college students. 

Sankar Repeatedly Pushed His Wife For Intercourse

The report further added that the techie repeatedly pushed her for intercourse, threatening consequences if she failed to provide it even when Sashidhar experienced pain from complications during childbirth.

"Prasanna would come and tell me, ‘Look, sex is a primal need for me. You have to do it. It doesn't matter, like, you know, how much pain you’re in,’” Sashidhar told the court. 

Forbes noted his billionaire status by 2022. He reportedly owns an estimated 9% of Rippling.

In an interview with the publication, she claimed that Sankar dragged her and their son from country to country to shield his immense wealth from taxation.
