In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal's critique of Indian startups sparks fiery rebuttals from Zepto's Aadit Palicha, Ashneer Grover, and others.

Remember that time in 2022 when India's top digital payments companies Phonepe, Paytm*, and Bharatpe were in a no-holds-barred turf war? Looking back, it seemed like there was news almost every other day about some tiff between the three market leaders. In fact, former managing director of Bharatpe, Ashneer Grover, has spoken on record about “street fights” between companies' employees over QR codes. A little more than two years later, there's only calm. QR code scuffles are over. No one is beating each other up. Both the peer-to-merchant and peer-to-peer payments space have settled down into a tripartite peace. Phonepe, Google Pay, and Paytm—in order of market share—are the clear leaders. This raises some interesting questions: How many UPI apps do you have on your phone? And do you have a favourite one? We may have multiple, but only one of them is ever really used. No amount of cashbacks or fancy user experiences make people want to switch to something else. Is it brand loyalty that is preventing users from churning out of old platforms and into new ones? A former Paytm executive told The Ken, “There is zero brand loyalty for UPI payments apps…” Well then, what is happening?*Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma is an investor in The Ken*This episode was first published on December 30, 2024Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

The company's innovative relay trucking model not only helps its drivers to go home to their families every day but also makes deliveries for their customers much faster. It is no surprise that Rivigo has become a unicorn and continues to enjoy the support of its investors who have pumped in $268.7 million. #9 GlobalBees: Founded by Edelweiss' former President Nitin Agarwal and FirstCry's co-founder Supam Maheshwari in 2021, GlobalBees invests in and acquires D2C brands that they believe have massive growth potential.

Today, they have expanded their toxin-free product portfolio to enter the adult personal care market as well.

By partnering with around 500 hospitals and clinics – Pristyn Care handles a patient's entire healthcare journey, from doorstep pickup and drop, finding them the right doctor, completing hospital paperwork, getting a diagnosis and submitting insurance documents, and then finally post-surgery recovery and home delivery of medicine. #6 Spinny: Founded by Ganesh Pawar, Mohit Gupta, Niraj Singh, and Ramanshu Mahaur in 2015, Spinny started as an online classifieds platform for buying and selling used cars.

By leveraging India's UPI, they were able to launch an interoperable UPI-based QR code – allowing merchants to accept UPI payments from any digital payments provider, and the best part was they didn't have to pay any commission for accepting these payments. #3 Cars24: Founded by Gajendra Jangid, Mehul Agrawal, Ruchit Agarwal and Vikram Chopra in Gurugram in 2015, Cars24 was created to organise the highly fragmented used car market in India. They did this by making it easy for customers to sell used cars on their platform. Cars24 inspects the vehicle, settles on a fair price, and then they handle the documentation, all in less than an hour. #2 Delhivery: Founded by Bhavesh Manglani, Kapil Bharati, Mohit Tandon, Sahil Barua, and Suraj Saharan in 2011, Delhivery is India's leading logistics company with a more than 20% market share in the e-commerce delivery space. #1 OYO: Founded by Ritesh Agarwal in 2013, Oyo Rooms is India's hospitality unicorn that had expanded rapidly to international destinations before shrinking operations due to the pandemic. So far, OYO's investors have poured $3.1 billion into the startup.

In this video, we look at Ashneer Grover's journey of building BharatPe into a unicorn to the controversy that led to his resignation. BharatPe wasn't Ashneer's idea: Back in March 2018, Bhavikkumar Koladiya and Shashvat Nakhrani had founded BharatPe. But coming from a small town, neither of them had the connections to secure the kind of funding they'd need to build and scale BharatPe. So in July 2018, they reached out to Ashneer Grover to seek angel investment but they also got their third co-founder – who had the perfect founder profile and had already helped Grofers raise $170 million. Over the next three years, Ashneer helped BharatPe raise over $700 million and helped make BharatPe into a $3 billion unicorn. The leaked audio recording that changed everything: An audio recording of a phone call was leaked on 5th January 2022 and in this clip, someone was heard berating and threatening to kill an employee of Kotak Mahindra Bank - this male voice also hands the phone over to a female voice, who talks with the Kotak employee as well - the reason? Not being able to get allotment in Nykaa's IPO. According to the leaker, this person was Ashneer Grover and his wife, Madhuri Jain Grover. Ashneer, of course, quickly tweeted that the clip was fake, but later on, he deleted this tweet, and the leaked audio clip was also removed soon after. It was later revealed that Ashneer and Madhuri had, in fact, sent a legal notice to Kotak Mahindra Bank for the same issue - not getting allotment in Nykaa's IPO. Things escalated to the point where Kotak initiated legal action against Ashneer and Madhuri over the leaked audio clip. The entire issue might have flown under the radar of a lot of people if Ashneer hadn't been a judge of Shark Tank India. He was in the public eye now, at precisely the wrong moment. It was the perfect storm, and his rude and abrasive behaviour while talking to entrepreneurs on the show didn't sit well with many of Shark Tank India's audience members. Ashneer and Madhuri go on a ‘voluntary leave': All this controversy was not good for BharatPe's business and so the board asked Ashneer to go on leave until the end of March – hoping things would settle down by then. But soon after Ashneer was sent on leave, his wife Madhuri was sent on leave as well. With the Grovers out of BharatPe, The startup's board announced an independent audit to look into their internal systems and processes. While Ashneer went right ahead and hired himself a team of lawyers to protect his interests and shareholding at BharatPe. In response to this, BharatPe's board hired PwC to conduct the independent audit. And PwC is one of the Big 4 accounting firms, and according to BharatPe's Articles of Association, a founding member of the company can be removed and their equity can be bought back by the company at fair market value if one of the Big 4s can show any kind of gross negligence or wilful misconduct involving that founding member. So now BharatPe's intentions were clear: they were looking for any kind of financial fraud that might have happened while Ashneer was heading BharatPe. And according to the leaked reports in the media, they found not one but two instances of financial fraud. Madhuri is fired and Ashneer resigns from BharatPe: On the 23rd of February Madhuri Jain Grover was fired on allegations of financial fraud and misappropriation of funds at BharatPe .And a week after this happened, Ashneer Grover decided to put down his resignation in a scathing letter to the startup's board and investors. And this was the end of Ashneer's journey with BharatPe.
This week in Indian startup news, Ola Electric is planning to build a battery cell manufacturing plant, Ashneer Grover resigns from BharatPe, Urban Company announces PSOPs worth Rs 150 crore and Scaler acquires AppliedRoots for $50 million. In funding news, Niyo raises $100 million, Perfios raises $70 million, Pocket FM raises $65 million, Filo raises $23 million and Kuhoo raises $20 million. Ola Electric is planning to build a battery cell manufacturing plant: According to recent Reuters report, it looks like after building the world's largest electric scooter factory, Ola Electric is now planning to build its own battery cell manufacturing plant in India. The reports suggest that they might start by setting up a factory with 1 GWh capacity by 2023 and would eventually expand it to 20 GWh in the next 3-4 years. Ashneer Grover resigns from BharatPe: Ashneer's resignation comes merely a week after her wife Madhuri Jain Grover was sacked from BharatPe. And while Ashneer has claimed he and his family are innocent in all this, BharatPe's board has accused him and his wife of doing financial fraud. Even though Ashneer is no more associated with the day to day workings of BharatPe, he is still the largest individual shareholder in the company with 9.5% stake. Urban Company announces PSOPs worth Rs 150 crore: On-demand home and beauty services provider Urban Company has introduced what it is calling PSOP (Partner Stock Option Plan) worth ₹150 crore. PSOPs are just like ESOPs but instead of giving stock options to employees, Urban Company is giving them to the gig workers and service professionals working with Urban Company - whom they call partners. The company said that they are yet to figure out how these stock options will be disbursed and redeemed but they plan on executing their PSOPs in the next 5 to 7 years.

According to media reports, through this plea Ashneer is claiming that the investigation against him is invalid as it violates the terms of his shareholder agreement. In his plea, he also added that despite his numerous objections, BharatPe has kept the review and assessment process opaque - not giving him any opportunity to present his case.

Lido Learning shuts down: Lido Learning, an edtech startup that offers group online classes, is shutting down their operations due to a lack of funds.

There is a corporate war that is on at Bharat Pe ... one of India's best known unicorn companies. After an internal investigation showed clear wrongdoing - Madhuri Jain was sacked ... but that is just the tip ... there is a bigger investigation that is underway against her husband and company cofounder Ashneer Grover ... he could be next in the firing line. But what is amazing in this most sordid saga is how hi-profile and the rich manage to break the law and not pay the price ... like they have another set of rules ... even if caught - they will fade away and not be punished. Manjul teams up with Deshbhakt to understand this saga and how things went SO BAD for Mrs. & Mr. Grover and what next.

This week in Indian startup news, Delhi becomes India's new startup capital, Ashneer Grover probed for financial fraud, Budget 2022: startup tax holiday extended and LTCG surcharge capped at 15%, Ola rebrands quick grocery delivery business as Ola Dash, and Curefoods acquires Maverix. In funding news, Dealshare raises $165 million to become a unicorn, Moglix raises $250 million, Chargebee raises $250 million and Scaler Academy raises $55 million. Delhi becomes India's new startup capital: According to the Economic Survey 2021-22, Delhi is now the new startup capital of India - taking the title away from Bengaluru. Between April 2019 and December 2021 - while Bengaluru added 4,514 new startups, Delhi on the other hand added over 5,000 startups. Ashneer Grover probed for financial fraud: Days after BharatPe's Ashneer Grover went on a ‘voluntary leave', not only did his wife Madhuri Jain Grover (who also works at BharatPe) also went on a leave and BharatPe also announced an independent audit of the company's internal processes and systems. According to media reports, both Ashneer and his wife are being investigated for financial fraud at BharatPe. Ashneer is already facing a hard time in the media for the leaked audio clip controversy, but allegations of financial fraud could have serious consequences for not just Ashneer but for India's startup ecosystem. Ashneer has hired a legal firm and is looking to safeguard his reputation and interests at BharatPe. Budget 2022: Startup tax holiday extended and LTCG surcharge capped at 15%: While there wasn't much talk about startups in general in the latest budget, there are a few positives for Indian startups. First of all, startups that were incorporated between 1st April 2016 and 31st March 2022 - were eligible for a tax holiday - meaning they don't have to pay any tax on profits for three consecutive years out of the first ten years of their operations. Due to the whole covid situation, this period has been increased by one more year until 31st March 2023. Secondly - investors, startup founders and employees will now have to pay less tax on their startup investments as the long-term capital gain (LTCG) surcharge is now capped at 15%. Ola rebrands quick grocery delivery business as Ola Dash: Just like Gofers rebranded themselves as Blinkit to focus on instant grocery delivery, Ola's latest grocery delivery business called Ola Store is now renamed as Ola Dash to focus on instant grocery as well. They already have a presence in nine cities with a network of 200 dark stores – which they are now planning to increase to 500 across 20 cities in the next six months. Curefoods acquires Maverix: Cloud kitchen startup Curefoods has acquired another cloud kitchen startup called Maverix Platforms - making Curefoods the second-largest cloud kitchen in the country with 125 kitchens across 12 cities. Dealshare raises $165 million to become a unicorn: Social commerce platform Dealshare has raised $165 million in a round led by Tiger Global and Alpha Wave Global at a $1.4 billion valuation – making them India's fifth unicorn of 2022. Moglix raises $250 million: Moglix, which is a B2B marketplace for industrial products, has raised $250 million in a round led by Alpha Wave Global – more than doubling their valuation from $1 billion to $2.6 billion in just eight months. Chargebee raises $250 million: SaaS-based subscription management platform Chargebee has raised $250 million in a round led by Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital – raising their valuation from $1.4 billion to $3.5 billion in nine months.
