Former BharatPe MD and Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover has come guns blazing against his former company BharatPe following reports of four more senior executives leaving the firm.
Ashneer Grover tweeted after sharing the report, "Good people don¡¯t work for companies. They work with magical Founders to create, build and grow! There is no BharatPe without Ashneer Grover."
Grover had abruptly resigned from BharatPe in March this year.?Following this, the fintech firm said that it had found that co-founder Ashneer Grover and his family members had engaged in extensive "misappropriation of funds" as per the findings of an investigation.

Among the top executives leaving were Vijay Aggarwal (CTO), CPO for lending and consumer products Rajat Jain, vice-president of technology Geetanshu Singla and Nehul Malhotra, head of consumer lending platform PostPe, as per various media reports.
¡°We confirm that Vijay, Rajat, Nehul, and Geetanshu are moving on from BharatPe to pursue their entrepreneurial passions. They will continue to ensure a smooth transition of their role to the designated leaders,¡± said a spokesperson of BharatPe. However, the company reportedly did not provide details about the successors for the key positions.
