Ashneer Grover, co-founder and managing director of fintech platform BharatPe, was seen as one of the sharks on the first season of Shark Tank India. He shared a great camaraderie with the other six investors on the show. He recently attended an event and talked about co-judge Vineeta Singh including other sharks.
While giving a lecture at Lovely Professional University, Ashneer talked about his co-judges (Vineeta Singh, Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, Ghazal Alagh, Peyush Bhansal, and Namita Thapar). Ashneer said, “I knew Anupam from before. I’d pitched him an idea once, and in the month that he took to get back to me, I accepted somebody else’s investment, so I ended up saying no to him.”
He went on to add, “Vineeta was my junior in IIM, we never spoke but had exchanged flirtatious glances. She was one of those ‘hot juniors’. Aman is a great guy, our ‘auditions’ for the show were held together at my place. Peyush everybody knew from Lenskart, and Namita I met for the first time on the show.”
