He said, ¡°Ek baat bata deta hoon, bade saare IIT IIM waale takrenge tumhe life mein, aur hamesha unke chip on the shoulder rahega. Aur woh isliye hain kyunki jab aathwi ya ninth class mein sabne taiyyari shuru ki, woh tumhare saath they. Phir kissi ka IIT mein hogaya, kissi ka IIM mein hogaya, ab usse lagta hai usne phod diya. Aisa kuch nahi hota.¡±

¡°IIT IIM mein bhi 80% log float karte hain, 20% log phod ke jaate hain. Tum yeh socho, jo IIT gaya aur usne bhi nahi phoda, uski kya haalat hogi? Andar se toh usko khoklapan lagega na.¡± Ashneer added that degrees are just a pathway else all the information that anybody could never need to succeed is available for free online. All that matters is the work that one does.
He told MoneyControl, ¡°I have never commented on what Ashneer Grover says. I will never stoop to that level. Constantly I have maintained that stand. I have not changed. I have remained the same person. when I joined BharatPe and what I am today. I don't change my colours.¡±
¡°It is not right for me to respond to Ashneer Grover¡ somebody who doesn't know there is a difference between an executive of a company and a director of a company¡ about their roles and responsibilities. I don't think it deserves a comment¡±, he added.
