BharatPe: A lookback

The evolution of four-year-old fintech venture BharatPe, and how the corporate boardroom saga unfolded in the past six months.

BharatPe: A lookback

Tuesday February 08, 2022 , 3 min Read

Good Morning,

Since Ashneer Grover, Co-founder and Managing Director, BharatPe, went on a leave of absence on January 19, the fintech unicorn has been in the news due to a very open and public discord between Ashneer and the company’s board.

Co-founder Shashvat Nakrani also came on record to say that he has neither given his consent for, nor sought the removal of Suhail Sameer, CEO, BharatPe, from the board of the fintech firm.

"I can confirm that I was one of the two joint nominees in the appointment resolution of Suhail Sameer as the CEO and Board member of BharatPe, and he continues to enjoy my support," Shashvat said in a media statement.

We take a look back at the rise of this fintech unicorn — last valued at $2.8 billion — and how it has evolved over the years. Read more.

This led the trio to start Rocketlane which offers a purpose-built unified workspace for collaborating with customers on onboarding projects. Read more.
