Rs 100 crore lost by Ashneer Grover in stock market speculation

Published

on

The newest argument in the boardroom is between Bhavik Koladiya and Ashneer Grover about Koladiya’s ownership in the firm. This is a problem for BharatPe’s shareholders to resolve, as the company’s board of directors is unlikely to interfere.

Koladiya is reported to have divided his holdings between Ashneer and another co-founder, Shashvat Nakrani, according to individuals close to the situation. Koladiya had a 30% share in the firm until around 2018, however, this was decreased when the fintech company got further money.

Sequoia Capital, which owns roughly 19.6% of the firm, Coatue, which owns 12.4%, Ribbit Capital, which owns 11%, and Beenext, which owns 9.6%, are among the company’s major investors.

Koladiya’s Stake: An Intriguing Case

“When Sequoia Capital came up, Koladiya’s stock was divided amongst the other two founders to keep him off the cap table.” “There was also an email chat about it,” a source close to the situation told ET, adding that an agreement between the two is possible.

Meanwhile, Koladiya is seeking legal advice on the situation, since his and Grover’s relationship has deteriorated, as evidenced by a leaked phone call between the two.

“With the way things went in the last week or two, there will be further friction over Koladiya’s position in the company and earlier agreements.” Koladiya would be roughly 4% of Grover’s existing 8.5-9.5 percent shareholding. “Koladiya and Nakrani have a similar deal,” the source told ET.

Koladiya’s LinkedIn page now lists him as BharatPe, with no formal title.

Koladiya was found guilty of credit card fraud in the United States in 2015. District Judge Mark Hornak of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, punished Bhavikkumar H. Koladiya, alias “Bob Patel,” according to the US Department of Justice.

Koladiya, the owner of Oakland’s “Atwood Xpress,” stole other people’s identities and used them to create credit card accounts with US Bank, Chase Bank, Discover Card, and other companies, then used the stolen credit cards to buy products, including diamonds.

Finally, Ashneer and Nakrani received his BharatPe share. According to reports, Ashneer owns 8.5 percent of the corporation, while Koladiya owns about 4%. Koladiya and Nakrani had the same understanding.

What was the significance of the Koladiya Angle? Limelight is waiting for you!

Grover and Koladiya’s conflict initially surfaced when Grover wrote to BharatPe’s Board of Directors on February 22, notifying them of his phone conversation with Koladiya. Grover said in the letter that he had received calls from Koladiya for a prospective meeting in the presence of board chairman Rajnish Kumar.

Koladiya became involved in the Ashneer-BharatPe drama after Ashneer’s wife Madhuri Jain Grover, a former head of controls at BharatPe who was also fired for financial fraud, intensified the dispute on social media. Suhail Sameer, CEO of BharatPe, and Koladiya were seen in a video clip she released on Twitter at an office party. Jain, on the other hand, eventually removed her tweet from Twitter.
