BharatPe Fight On LinkedIn | 'Tere Bhai Ne Saara Paisa Chura Liya': CEO Suhail Sameer To Ashneer Grover's Sister
Ashneer Grover Vs BharatPe: A employee in a LinkedIn post complained about not getting paid March salary. As he tagged CEO Suhail Sameer and co-founder Ashneer Grover a new war of words ensued.
New Delhi: The corporate drama which spilled over from the board room of BharatPe, does not seem to end. It appears that the co-founder Ashneer Grover may have relinquished his post but is still invested in the happening of the FinTech company.
The latest round of bout came out on LinkedIn when a person, claiming to be BharatPe's employee, complained about not being paid the salary for the month of March.
In a LinkedIn post, the IT associate wrote: "Dear Suhail and Shashvat Sir, we haven’t received our salary for March month yet despite following so many times on email and visiting the office."
"We were with BharatPe ever since the company started and now we are nowhere because of your internal politics," the IT associate wrote, tagging BharatPe CEO Suhail Sameer and co-founders Ashneer Grover and Shashvat Nakrani.
This triggered a fest of comments from different parties the first being from Ashneer Grover. He commented: "Not done - "Their salaries have to be paid first before anything."
Ashneer Grover's sister Aashima Grover also commented on the post describing BharatPe's top management (taking an alleged potshot at the current CEO) as a "shameless bunch".
To which Suhail Sameer replied with a staunch note stating: "Tere bhai ne saara paisa chura liya (your brother stole all the money). Very little left to pay salaries."
After Suhail targeted Ashneer, Ashima said on LinkedIn: “Oh really. But still, money is left for your ESOP, bonus, increment, parties and offsites and not to forget paid media.”
The comments have not been taken down or the post still has not been removed. However, Suhail's comment to Ashneer's sister did invite some criticism from other LinkedIn users.
Ashneer Grover and his wife Madhuri Jain have been accused of financial irregularities. Madhuri Jain was sacked as the company's head of controls in February this year. Ashneer was removed from his positions at BharatPe in March this year.
