Former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover came vocal about his journey as of now. He stated how he had put down an job as the workplace was not so happening and people fought for chairs.
Ashneer in an interview spoke to ETimes while promoting his book titled Doglapan. “I went for the job. Then on the first day, that silence in the office bothered me. In my office, we used to fight for a chair. Here everything was set. In a startup, the average age was 24-26-years-old and here the average age was 40. Those 15 minutes were enough for me to quit my corporate job,” the entrepreneur recounted.
He added, “Initially, I had no money so I borrowed Rs 2 crore from my friends and family at the valuation of Rs 18 crore. In today’s date, even a college student wouldn’t invest at that valuation. The only reason why I took Rs 2 crore is that if something happens, I will sell my Malviya Nagar home and return the money.”
Ashneer Grover emerged as a household name after his appearance as a shark in the superhit first season of Shark Tank India. He is adored for cut to the chase dialouges, direct cathphrases and the concept to call a space a spade.
