Shark Tank Memes Take Over The Internet After Ashneer Grover Steps Down As MD Of BharatPe
Ashneer Grover booked a spot on the Twitter trends list on Tuesday. Several memes have been circulating online after the BharatPe co-founder resigned.
The founder of BharatPe, Ashneer Grover resigned from the fintech firm as managing director after he lost an arbitration that he had filed against the company. Grover had filed an arbitration with the Singapore International Arbitration Centre challenging BharatPe's decision to conduct a governance review.
He had sent an email to the fintech's board, saying he had been ¡®vilified¡¯ and treated in the ¡®most disrespectful manner¡¯.

He said, "Since the beginning of 2022, unfortunately, I¡¯ve been embroiled in baseless and targeted attacks on me and my family by a few individuals who are ready not only to harm me and my reputation but also harm the reputation of the company, which ostensibly they are trying to protect."
He added, "Build incrementally even half of the value I created so far ¨C I am leaving you with three times the funds I¡¯ve utilized to date. I hereby resign as the Managing Director of BharatPe, effective immediately. I also resign as a Director of the Board. I will continue as the single largest individual shareholder of the Company," he said.
The Shark Tank India judge also added that he was wasting time fighting a 'long and lonely battle' against his own investors and management.
However, soon after news of his resignation started surfacing, netizens did what they do best - make memes and jokes. Obviously, most of the memes are based on Ashneer Grover's gig at Shark Tank India where he was known for his outbursts and unusual dialogues. Here are some popular ones.

Ashneer Grover's wife, Madhuri Jain was recently terminated from the company. Grover too had been accused of financial fraud and the BharatPe board has initiated a completed audit of the governance processes. An audio clip of Grover abusing and threatening a Kotak Mahindra Bank employee over Nykaa IPO had gone viral on social media. According to Grover, the audio clip was fake.
Grover however recently became a popular name in Indian households after the BharatPe founder appeared on Shark Tank India, and earned fame as the 'blunt' judge. He was one of those judges people loved to hate since he called out participants in a very hostile manner. This triggered a lot of memes and jokes on the internet.
