A few days back, Ashneer had shared a picture to lash out at a statement that talked about his lavish lifestyle. The BharatPe co-founder shared the post to respond to the statement of his own company's board. He had taken to his LinkedIn profile and had shared a picture of a mattress put on the floor by his friend to show his bed for the night. Sharing the picture, he had penned a long note along with it that could be read as:
"I am appalled at the personal nature of the BharatPe Board's statement, but not surprised. It comes from a position of personal hatred and low thinking. I think the Board needs to be reminded of $1M of secondary shares investors bought from me in Series C, $2.5M in Series D and $8.5M in Series E. I would also want to learn who among Amarchand, PWC and A and M has started doing audit on 'lavishness' of one's lifestyle."
He had further mentioned in the caption that the only lavish thing about him is his dreams and ability to achieve them with all his hard work and determination. He had written:
"The only thing lavish about me is my dreams and ability to achieve them against all odds through hard work and enterprise. I hope the Board can get back to working soon - I as a shareholder am worried about the value destruction. I wish the Company and the Board a speedy recovery. Please get back to your actual day jobs."
