News Synopsis

Ashneer Grover, the former founder and CEO of BharatPe, has written a memoir called "Doglapan" (double standards) - the Hard Truth about Life and Start-ups, which is currently available for pre-order and will be released the next month.

A "raw, gut-wrenching in its honesty and fully from the heart, storytelling at its finest," the memoir is billed as the "unfettered story of Ashneer Grover - the favorite and misunderstood poster boy of Startup India."

"Is kitab ko padhne ke baad ya to aap ek dum apni naukri chhod doge ya fir zindagi bhar naukri hi karoge. At least beech mein nahi phase rahoge (After reading this book, you will either quit your job or continue to only be in jobs your whole life. At least, you won't be stuck in the middle), "Grover stated on Friday in a tweet.

On Friday, he tweeted once more: "So overnight my autobiography has become #1 Best Seller. And SOLD OUT as well !! I've scampered to print more copies - get yours before my publisher hits their max capacity."

The book's brief summary on Amazon.in says a young boy with the label of "refugee" growing up in Delhi's Malviya Nagar surpasses his circumstances by earning a rank at the highest level of academic achievement in India, IIT Delhi.

"He goes on to do an MBA from the hallowed halls of IIM Ahmedabad, builds a career as an investment banker at Kotak Investment Banking and AmEx, and is pivotal in the making of two unicorns-Grofers, as CFO, and BharatPe, as co-founder," 

Grover's life was flipped upside down, but he managed to become a household figure as a judge on the hit television programme Shark Tank India.
