BharatPe, a fintech business, has been mired in controversy since 2022. The business has seen several C-suite executives leave. After a disagreement with the company’s co-founders and investors from Sequoia in March 2022, the former CEO, Ashneer Gandhi, was fired from his position. Following Grover’s tenure as CEO, Suhail Sameer, the company’s co-founder, left the firm within months of his appointment. After that, co-founder Bhavik Koladiya also quit his job at the business. Other departures include Chandrima Dhar, the head of institutional debt relationships, and chief revenue officer Nitish Sharma.
