Former BharatPe Co-founder and Managing Director Ashneer Grover has explained the controversy surrounding the issue of owning a dining table worth Rs 10 crore.
Ashneer Grover was one of the founders of BharatPay, one of the digital money transfer companies. He was also the Managing Director of the company. His wife is Madhuri Jain Grover. He was one of the members of the Bharatpe Executive Committee. He has been accused of extensive misappropriation of company funds and corrupting the stock market.
A few days ago, news broke out that he had set a Guinness World Record of owning a dining table worth Rs 10 crore at his home. Following this, Madhuri Jain Grover and Ashneer Grover resigned.
Ashneer has now given an explanation for the dining table controversy worth Rs 10 crore. He tweeted, "Is it a space rocket? Is it a time machine? No, it’s a ₹10cr dining table !! Haha ! I don’t hold the Guinness World Record for the most expensive table ever. Nor do I intend to. Press - don’t fall for BharatPe Board (undisclosed sources) lies - you’ll lose your credibility like them."
He further said that the dining table was not even worth 0.5 per cent of the price mentioned. “I’d rather put ₹10cr in business and create employment for 1,000 of folks so that they can earn & put a dignified meal on their tables for their families,” he added.
