Sameer had a falling out with the company’s co-founder Ashneer Grover , who was kicked out of the company last year after a very public spat over allegations of financial misappropriation. Interestingly, Grover has also made some comments on social media against Sameer recently.
Earlier last year, BharatPe was rocked by the departures of multiple top-level executives, including the then chief technology officer Vijay Aggarwal, and chief product officer, Rajat Jain leaving the company.
