About Ashneer Grover
Ashneer Grover co-founded BharatPe, the merchant payments company built on UPI, and served as its managing director. Before that he was CFO at Grofers and worked at Kotak Investment Banking and American Express. He was a judge on the first season of Shark Tank India, where his blunt questioning made him one of the most quoted people on Indian television.
His 2022 memoir Doglapan: The Hard Truth About Life and Start-Ups became a major bestseller for its frank account of fundraising, boardroom conflict and the years spent building in fintech. He has since become a widely followed commentator on startups and continues to invest and build.
Grover does not do polished corporate keynotes. He speaks the way he judged pitches: fast, direct and with opinions, and the Q&A is usually lively. His topics are Indian fintech and UPI-era payments, startup operating without the gloss, fundraising and negotiation, and what it takes to rebuild after a public fall. Business schools, founder summits and companies that want a provocative session book him in English or Hindi.
