Talking about his career, Ashneer Grover revealed that he worked at Kotak bank for seven years and made some big deals worth crores there. However, when he was told that the company would transfer him to Mumbai, he decided to quit the job as he realised that he would manage to do something big on his own. Sharing that he wanted to get out from the comfort of a salaried job, he revealed that it became the mantra for his success as no one can do something massive by just doing a plush job. He said:
“My first deal was for around Rs 1600-2000 crore. I left the company when I knew they would transfer me to Mumbai. I am a Delhite and didn’t want to leave. I joined Grofers with a friend where I developed the muscle as a founder. After leaving the company, I launched BharatPe in just about 6-8 months. I firmly believe that sirf naukri karke koi bada aadmi nahi ban sakta."
Further in the conversation, Ashneer also opened up about his love for bikes and recalled how he used to travel to his college on his motorbike and created many memories. Revealing his romantic side, Ashneer recalled how he met his wife, Madhuri while preparing for CAT and shared that he instantly fell in love with her and persuaded her to go out with him. However, when Madhuri asked one of her friends about Ashneer's review, she said that he was not a good guy. Stating that he was keen to marry her, Ashneer added:
“Mera product review bura tha. She had asked a friend about me and she said he was just 'ainwe hi'. But I was very persevering as I knew I wanted to marry her.”
